Does Frank Warren ever give it a rest one bitter man!!

[skel1983]

Warren does not mention how much money he made from them does he.

Also he is bitter because of the money he is loosing out if they were still with him.

He made a loss on the Kessler fight, and makes much less than fighters even if the night's a succes, though of course a promoters career is much longer than a fighters'.

I think he's OK to have a go, after all when Ricky and Joe say stuff like they were held back for years.

He set up Ricky's career perfectly, and I've said it before. He got the No.1 light Welter to go to fucking Manchester with an English ref at the PERFECT time in both guys careers to favour Ricky, the single win that he's been riding on since. Would Ricky have preferred to be thrown in with Judah in 2001 when he was still green and set his career back like another certain Englishman?

The thing is mate he goes on about Ricky's earanings nearly everyweek, this split is coming up for for four years, i know there is two sides to every story, but Frank did do a good job for Ricky, but lets not forget Ricky took a 25/75 split in Kostas favour for that fight, so wasnt all Frankys doing, Warren fed Hatton to many bums imo, he takes a dig at Calzaghe and Hatton an every oppurtunity, hes a muppet boxing is a short career. Say Ricky and Joe lost there big fights what would Franky do? Fuck them off it works both ways, also funny how Frank says Joe made a mistake with the RJJ fight well i think Joe has $8-$10 million reasons why it wasnt a mistake.

How much money do you think Joe and Ricky made this man?? Hes just bitter as he has no money makers anymore, the three biggest stars in the uk are not under his guidance so what does that tell you? As Trainer Monkey said he cant be all that as these guys wouldnt have fucked him off.

if your from the uk you'll know franks always singing his own praise and as soon as a fighter leaves him he says there not that good.............or his classic line just before a ex boxer of his is due to have a big fight " i lined up this fight for him a year ago but he didn't want it... i beleave he would have won it when i was his promoter but cant see him pulling it of now "

some fighters stay with him upto a certain point then leave when they see he just wants to keep them fighting at b grade within a simple circle just so old frank can earn himself a steady income( ricky hatton wanted bigger fights and left just look at rickys fights and money he's earned since not to mention he's now known worldwide) then theres others like joe calzaghe who are happy to live in warrens plans then complain

bottomline frank warren is britains biggest promoter even if he is full of crap

[Kirkland Laing]

He's going to be announcing that he's signed two or three of Britain's Olympic boxers soon, so at least he puts his money where his mouth is. I actually don't mind Frank at all.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

he's always going on about how silly joe calzaghe was to aggree a 50-50 split with roy jones.............. now anyone who knows me here knows i'm one step away from hate when it comes to joe but if him and jones aggree 50-50 then its upto them, franks only upset because he lost out on a million for doing nothing.............. jones aint stupid when it comes to money...............it doesnt take much thinking when you have a 10 million pot........which if you both have promtors/managers means they take 1mil - 1.5mil each meaning you and the other fighter split 7mil.............seeing as you both want to fight each other get rid of them and split 10mil for yourselfs....................warren got 1mil from hopkins v calzaghe..........did he really do that much work.............with just a phone call jones set the fight up and both got millions

sour grapes

sour grapes

[Fenster]

Hatton's boozy life style is going to catch up with him

How fucking BORING has that become? He's lost ONCE, to a guy he would NEVER beat, in 40+ fights. He's nearing the END of a highly successful career.

He's been able to manage the bad living with the training/fighting. Not everyone is the SAME!!!

[Kel]

ALL Businessmen despise the thought of losing money or missing out on money.

It is just sour grapes as mentioned by antimoron
