re: Cleverly-Braehmer OFF/My bet for sky box office this saturday
I agree there's no way they can justify it as a PPV leading off with Groves Degale as the headliner.
There are a few decent fights on the card for sure, but just like the Khan debacle I reckon Sky will try and move it down to a Sky Sports 1 event, on the plus side though I'm chuffed I didn't pick it as the star fight in the last week of the prediction comp!
Braehmer's starting to remind me of someone who cries wolf about illness too often, he pulled out of his last bout too.
Cunt of a Mod. Fact.

Braehmer has pulled out numerous fights. He's worse than Tyson and Calzaghe. Should of seen it coming.
Clevery is the NEW WBO champ. Braehmer stripped. So Sky will still have a "world" title fight should a replacement be found

It's has to be confirmed by the WBO if his fight will be a for a world title. I'm sure Frank will be able to persuade them though.Originally Posted by Fenster

Exactly. This is the Alex Arthur/Enzo Macc route to a WBO title all over again.It's has to be confirmed by the WBO if his fight will be a for a world title. I'm sure Frank will be able to persuade them though.Braehmer has pulled out numerous fights. He's worse than Tyson and Calzaghe. Should of seen it coming.

If Cleverly is matched they will still have a "world" title fight so will keep it PPV. Like you said, dealing with Warren is different to Golden BOy.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.

Apparently Warren still wants to press ahead with the PPV but it is ultimately Sky's call.
The thing is, they don't mind pissing off Goldenboy but can't see them pulling a Frank Warren card from ppv billing. They won't want to upset him.

Braehmer withdraws from Cleverly fight
Apparently he's got an 'eye injury' which hasn't healed properly. Talk of Bellew or Gutknecht replacing him. Thank god that neither DeGale or Groves will pull this kind of shit.

Re: Braehmer withdraws from Cleverly fight
Didn't he withdraw from the Shumenov fight too?

Re: Braehmer withdraws from Cleverly fight
I believe he did, part of why I've got little time for him. It's odd because he's an amateur world champ with good punch power, but hasn't transitioned to being as good a pro as that promises imo. I firmly believe that someone around him has bottled it here.

Re: Cleverly-Braehmer OFF/My bet for sky box office this saturday
Here's Frank Warren on it. I don't understand why they didn't tell them of the "injury" to begin with rather than say he'd missed the flight and would come today (Wednesday) instead
Warren blasts no-show Braehmer | Sky Sports | Boxing | News
Frank Warren has criticised Juergen Braehmer after the WBO champion pulled out of Saturday's light-heavyweight title fight with Nathan Cleverly.
The German withdrew from the clash after an apparent eye injury suffered in training 10 days ago failed to heal sufficiently.
But promoter Warren now hopes the WBO strip Braehmer of his title, which he has defended just once since winning it in 2009.
Warren, who only heard the news via internet reports from Germany this morning and when Braehmer's team cancelled their boxer's hotel booking, is waiting to speak to the Puerto Rico-based WBO later on Tuesday.
He hopes that they have taken action and upgraded Cleverly from 'interim' to full champion status.
"I couldn't give a s*** what happens to him after (he is stripped). He's nuts, the guy."
Frank Warren
Quotes of the week
"What we believe will happen - we're just waiting for official confirmation - is that Nathan will be declared champion and we're looking for an opponent for him to defend against on Saturday," said the promoter.
Talking
"We hope we will have a name before the close of business today. We are talking to a few fighters who have got good records and are ranked. It's just a matter of trying to agree terms with one of them."
Warren revealed he sent a driver to collect Braehmer from the airport on Tuesday but he did not turn up, claiming he had missed his plane and would arrive on Wednesday instead.
However Braehmer, who also pulled out of a January unification fight with Beibut Shumenov, did not arrive on Wednesday morning and Warren then heard via the internet that the fight was off.
"Eventually we were told by Universum (Braehmer's promoters) that he was out due to a cut eye," Warren said.
"We received a medical from him two days ago and he didn't have a cut eye two days ago, yet I think it was the German newspaper Bild who said it's a cut that is one and a half weeks old and has opened up again. Well, it's not in his medical.
"It's disgraceful, what's happened here. It really is the bad side of the sport. Something needs to be done about it and I'll obviously be complaining to the WBO but because of the time difference we have not managed to speak to anybody there."
Warren added: "What's even more disgusting is reading about it on the internet.
"At the moment all I want is the WBO to do what they have said they would do and strip this guy, because it's not the first time he's done this. He has a track record for it. He's a let-down."

It would be funny if Bellew KO'd Cleverly and became world champ!
