    why is he having a pop at Mick Hennessy?

    Mick seems like a nice man and the only reason his fighters have left him is because of the lack of a TV deal.

      lack of a tv deal is a pretty big **** up for a promoter though.

        yeah, I know but don't kick a man when he's down.

        Frank is in a position where he could be lambasting TV channels for not picking up boxing, and not just his own fighters but everyone's - citing the fact we probably have more good young fighters than we have ever had.

        I'm not down on FW either, I think he's alright. He's done a lot of good for British Boxing.

          Im coming around to Frank, slowly. Hes been making better fights lately.

          tbf he has slagged the bbc of several times for not showing boxing, but Frank never, ever misses an oppertunity to twist the knife into a fellow British promoter. He even tried to get hatton banned from promoting for doing a few lines.

            He is bit cut-throat.

            But he is pretty much running things at the moment.

            I don't think he has ever had a more talented stable of fighters. Which is why he is chucking them to the wolves early.

            That said, he must either not like Kell Brook or not rate him. That man is so far back on the shelf we can't even see him.

              ive a feeling thats Kells own fault, im not sold that he takes boxing seriously.

              But ive heard Warren trying to get a fight with Jones a few times, and put Brook forward as an opponent for Khan's McClsokey date so Warren is at least putting his name out there

                Yeah.

                I personally don't think he's all that. We need to see him step up to find out. His career is just flat at the moment. It's Gary Locket-esque.

                  Not sure what he means by the Khan-Bradley comment.

                  Is he saying that Khan has to sign a two-fight extention to his GBP deal in order to fight Bradley?

                    If you're not signed to Warren then he'll slag you off, that's what I don't like about him. Plus he bigs up people like Kell Brook who's best win is against Michael Jennings on a CUT. In the next sentence he'll slag off Haye who knocked out (his fighter) Maccarinelli in 2 rounds.

                    Promoters should be working together to make the best fights, not taking pot-shots at one another. Frank Warren is a c*nt. He always has been.

                    Cleverly's great though.
