Is Frank Warren not just doing what a promotor does? Promoting HIS fighters.
Maybe I dont know the whole picture, and I'll stand corrected if I am missing something out, but from how it looks to me is that Frank was promoting Ricky's matches, building him up slowly, nurturing him, choosing the right opponents so as to advance him. Then I heard in the media that Ricky was disgruntled because he wasnt getting the big fights. So Frank Warren gave one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world, Kostya Tszyu, a career best payday of $6 Million to get him to Ricky's home town Manchester. Frank delivered and so did Ricky with the stoppage of Tszyu. Ricky leaves Frank Warren as soon as hes made it in the boxing world.
Is the bottom line not that Frank Warren delivered Ricky the big fight and then Ricky Hatton showed no loyalty by walking out on Warren immediately afterwards? If you were him would you not be annoyed to have your star fighter walk out on you when the big fights are just around the corner?
Maybe someone can point out what I cant see.
