Warren signs Degale, Gavin and Saunders

[Bomp]

I wish them all well, but I wont pay any attention until after a few years.

Amir and Audley from last time out. Whippey hey!!

Im glad I never paid much attention.

Shame is that the contracts are worth a hell of a lot of money, when Degale was in talks a figure of 2m over 2 yrs was banded about, so I think Warren would rightly expect some hype and attention to recoup some of that.

They made that choice for the big money so they can't expect to develope under tha radar. Hopefully after seeing what happened to the other two they will realise the pro game is very different and that they have a hell of a lot to learn.

Yep, good points.

That much money so soon is not a good thing IMO. I hope they do alright, but I am distanced and dont hear all the hype so I will not pay too much attention. Big contracts mean big expectations and too much too soon is always a lot to handle. Fair play to them, but it means a lot of attention fighting tomato cans and then you are full of hype when you step it up a bit. A recipe to fall flat on the face.

Saunders doesn't have the pedigree of the other two but he'll probably sell boatloads of tickets. Frank can put them in with an endless stream of opponent-type hasbeens and neverwases and sell a lot of shows out. Eventually at least one of them should be WBO-vacant-belt standard and Britain gets another world champion.

Gavin turned down a massive offer from Golden Boy to be with Warren
WHY..?
He'd have got better sparring partners in the US and imo been better looked after.
I'd have jumped at it!

Maybe he didn't fancy moving to the States?

Same weight as Saunders is Gavin so they'll both be fighting at Light Welter from the off.
Actually i think Gavin has recently had a baby so maybe thats the reason for staying in the UK.
