Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Reacts To John Fury's Anger Over Wilder Trilogy Fight

[Gamboal00]

Time for Fish Eyes, shoulder-roller and wannabe Guy Ritchie movie gangster Frank Warren to step aside. He's old and past it, and has no good fighters under his control. He's always been a national-level promoter at best.

Hearn at least is young and pushing the sport into the 21st century.

Templar/Top Rank was talking about a July ppv fight 3 days before the judgement, Frank admitted that was the Fury Wilder fight.

Yeah but he’s not a big draw, As much as I like him.

I think he can do well though.

Same here. Although he's in his mid 30's I definitely think Joyce is a threat in the HW division.
Good power , good jab and a good chin.

Imagine if judges had to order fights and say 'hey, Crawford and Spence, fight each other, Golovkin must fight Charlo, Lopez must fight Haney. That would be something.

Which other fights should be forced, by the sanctioning bodies? Charlo vs Tszyu, Canelo vs Benavidez, and Haney vs R.Garcia.

Anyway, Fury has to beat Wilder again, and Joshua, whomever he fights next, has to win in order for Fury-Joshua to happen.

Its time for the boxers to take back their power of their careers like we had during the Ali-Frazier era and the 80s-90s with Leonard, Hagler, Duran, and Hearne. The best fought the best without the promoters putting all the political red tape and BS delaying fights.

All this "Fury didn't duck AJ" campaign reminds me of "BJS didn't quit" campaign from a couple of weeks ago.
Please someone tell them, the more u stir shit, the more it stinks.

Fury actually didn't duck AJ. What Fury did was a slick end around maneuver which gained him two mega-money fights. I'm sure Fury and Arum both got some chuckles from playing Hearn like a fool. After Fury beats (probably) Wilder he and Arum will be in the drivers seat regarding terms for the AJ and Fury matchup.

I'd like that judge to order: Crawford/Spence, Tank/Teo or Loma/Tank, Garcia/Haney, Benavidez/Andrade, Canelo/Bivol (168). Jermell Charlo has Castano but I'd like to see him against Lara too. Jermall can fight GGG, as per the judges orders.

Oh, and give me Prograis or GAR against Broner.

Warren is clearly more educated and experienced in these matters than young Edward and less bent than Arum. He literally says all the right things. Papa eyegouging Fury’s claims of American conspiracies and his son dropping belts fixing the issue show just how wonky his thinking is on the matter. He like so many just cannot understand the legal process involved....YOU CANT BREAK A CONTRACT THAT YOU SIGNED IN ABSENCE OF DURESS. dumping a belt had nothing to do with it. Fury literally can’t fight anyone but wilder in his next fight....period....he can fight wilder or retire. He can fight someone else and be subject to a lawsuit that could be in the 9 figure range for everyone involved. And he would win.

I actually think you're giving Warren too much credit. I have no idea why they couldn't forsee this. Injuctions it this nature happen in entertainment (music particularly) all the time. Plenty of artists are locked into contracts with labels for multiple albums and often incapable of making money outside of, say, touring.

[KingGilgamesh]

Agreed tbh. I like him as a fighter too but he's never going to be a household name.

One difference is Arum can sleep soundly knowing big John is barred from entering the US, while Frank Warren has to actually leave his house occasionally and although he may have eyes like a fish he would like to keep them.
