Comments Thread For: George Groves Shocker, Inks With Frank Warren

[Leohappy]

A very smart move.

Warren is by far the best promoter in the UK.

is or was? why are boxers running away from him if he's so great? kell brook was collecting dust on the shelf until he joined matchroom.

Frank Warren is like the Don King of UK promoters. Shadiest guy ever. He's the only reason the BBoBC still use a Referee to decide the winner of a fight instead of 3 judges.

Easier to bribe 1 ref than 3 judges

Groves hasn't "left Hayemaker" as much as Hayemaker have just shut down. Hayemaker promotions was all about David Haye selling himself, but he's retiring now. Without Haye do you think Booth has the impetus to focus on promotion? He's not a promoter. Booth is a trainer first and foremost and he'll get decent money to just concentrate on training. So yeah, Groves and Booth will still work together.

Although I think Groves might have been better off with Matchroom.

Groves is clueless if he thinks Warren is better for his career.
You mugs who think him switching is good for his career are clueless too.

Warren'll wangle him a shot at the (surprise surprise) WBO inter continental title after knocking over 2 or 3 bums. Then he'll go for the (surprise surprise) WBO title after knocking over another 2 or 3 bums. He'll be a cash cow, without ever testing himself against the best American SMWs.

Just like Calzaghe and Hatton were till they wised up and jumped ship.
