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

[CraigM]

Warren needs to start putting more effort into his fighters obviously...

He hasn't put on a massive show since Calzaghe vs Kessler

I don't like the monopoly that matchroom has over all the other promoters in the UK if it wasn't for the sky deal they have matchroom would be a small time outfit it's sad to see other promoters that have put on really great fights the years being forced to merge due to the dwindling finance coming from TV deals personally I think Eddie Hearn doesn't have a clue what he's doing but because he can pay better fighters are queuing up to sign, These fighters were happy to sign the contracts and take the money but are not happy to honour these contracts shows you what type of men they are.

Everyone wants to be on Sky. They've created a monopoly over there by giving a contract to one promoter. Disgraceful

Depends what's in those contracts. If terms have been broken by one side, a contract can be fairly repudiated. Similarly, there may be a get-out clause under certain circumstances.

It's very easy to get out of these contracts. Hearn said it himself. Virtually the whole Warren stable has jumped lol
