Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew, Frank Warren Beef Could Be Legal Explosion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

British light heavyweight champion Tony Bellew (17-1, 11KOs) is claiming to have severed ties with promoter Frank Warren, who disputes those claims. Bellew's team have told the ECHO that Warren has received notification of this through email and a hard copy is in the mail. Bellew is now looking to ink a deal with a new promoter as a free agent.

Box Nation = Graveyard for British boxers. The Haye-Chisora fight will attract more subscribers but only for a few months. Tony Bellew has a fan base in Liverpool and he is already being promoted on Sky Sports so Frank Warren just needs to let him go or give him another shot against Cleverly.

I thought they had made it illegal to be both the manager and promoter of a fighter? because it is a conflict of interest...

[knockoutkid]

Obviously he wants to sign with MatchRoom, Warren should let him go, he aint the one taking punches in the head.

First that stuff with Degale and now Bellew. Are fights finally wising up to Frank Warren?

sky sucks

matchroom put on terrible fights, what happens when his fighters get beat what do sky do then ?

[FlatLine]

Bellew is setting a good example for other fighters. Let the promoter know who's boss and if he doesn't listen to you then show him the door.

Ya have to laugh at that one, how Warren is playing the BBBC card, regarding his manager relationship with Bellew, yet treats the BBBC with total contemp, when it suits him! The sham at West Ham for example..it was obvious something was going on, Id say Warren was goin nuts seeing Bellew on Sky, plus doing the commentating for them as well.
The all cop on, De Gale is there cos he has no choice, and wanted to go, Bellew now..sure this is a man, who owed Calzage a fortune, and just liquidated his company to avoid paying him what he owed him!
Haye is a knob but hes clever enough to get cash up front for that sham..
