Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Reacts To The Paul Smith Situation

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Following a statement released today by Paul Smith on social network site, Twitter, claiming that he has terminated his Agreements with Frank Warren and his companies, his registered manager Frank Warren has issued the following statement:

"Paul Smith has an existing and binding 'Approved Boxer/Manager Agreement' in place with me and also an exclusive Promotional Agreement with Queensberry Promotions Ltd. He has no grounds toterminate either Agreement and neither has he even sent a letter of termination to Queensberry Promotions Ltd. However, if he feels he does have grounds, the procedures he must follow are clearly set out in both Agreements.

I am particularly disappointed by Paul Smith's behaviour as he has never contacted me to express any discontent whatsoever despite being managed by me for 10 years, 36 contests and two reigns as British Champion. I have always enjoyed an excellent relationship with him." [Click Here To Read More]

What the hell is going on with Frank Warren? He seems to fall out with everyone these days and is usually always following these things up with court action of some kind.

I can understand if 'Smigga' is annoyed about his brothers situation, but a lot of fighters split with Warren and it always seems to end in dispute. Warren acts like he owns the fighters with all the court action. Does he have some kind of loophole in his contracts so fighters can exploit and jump ship?

He obviously hasn't always enjoyed a healthy relationship with Paul Smith, getting his brothers license suspended wont help...

the contracts mean nothing its who's got the sky deal, everyone else is basically out of the game and gona go bankrupt, accept warren and hennesy who will be small scale operations just to survive.

@sroey, no obviously they all wana be on sky, liam will be next he's the only one left with frank warren isnt he?

[Grimmer]

He had to see this coming.

Liam will soon follow suit.

[knockoutkid]

if they break theyre contracts warren should atleast get compensation, you cant just jump ship when someone else has put a lot of theyre money into building the fighter up.

I'm sure Frank doesn't really care all that much.

How much money is he really going to make off Paul Smith?

Everyone knows he's only there to make up numbers anyway.
