Warren V Hearn - The Rematch

[Silkeyjoe]

My problem with Matchroom is they usually match their fighters up against bums particularly his "stars" and the only time he steps up is for a world title shot, and majority of this time he does so in opponenets back yard.

Im not too sure on how many world champs they have but the ones I know off I doubt they will hang onto the title that long. I think the only world champs he has are Froch, Burns and Barker. Burns and Barker are very beatable and if they are to take on a class opponent they will lose. If Froch beats Groves and has a Ward rematch Id say his titles are gone too.

Of his upcoming stars - Brook, Bellew, Quigg, Selby, Mitchell, Rose, Groves he has some potential but will any be as big as Froch. I doubt it. A few could win world titles but I dont believe they will dominate the division.

A promoters success wont be how good of a fighter he can make but how mch of a draw he can make them and good even match making. Making good shows that are exciting. The paying spectators couldnt give 2 fucks if they are watching the best fighter in world. All they want is to be entertained by watching exciting "fights".

Look at Ward, hes regarded as the best in the division but is not making anyone any money ever! I dont know who his promoter is but dont you think theyd prefer to have Froch or Kessler?

I speak as I find, attending shows rather than watching TV deals.

Warren shows are consistenly aweful in terms of facilities for fans, massive gaps in the schedule, nobody knows whats going on, thoese interested in the undercard are really short changed and you have to feel sorry for all the fans who have come to watch Warrens latest signing (or oponent), really badly organised and not worth the ticket money for a real fan.

Hennessey shows are brilliant by comparison, good facilities, good seating arrangements, all the creature comforts that you would expect.

Ditto for Hearn, and still improving.

Warren TV may be good, I wont buy it because he has shafted so many live event fans, you lot all seem to watch it so maybe that is the way forward? Respect is due to promoters who promote 'real' live events with atmosphere and excitement, Warren is not one of them.
