warren is the biggest snake, how many companies has he had go bust? and he still manages to make more and find a way around it, he probably is making more money from frauding the books than off boxing.

Burns has in turn, won his claim, amounting to more than £102,000, for unpaid purse fees from his successful World Title fight with Kevin Mitchell over two years ago.

The Judge found that the personal guarantee Frank Warren offered to Burns was not binding and so instead of Warren being personally liable for the purse Burns will have to take the matter up with the Administrators of FWP, a Frank Warren company which has recently been put into liquidation by Administrators appointed by Frank Warren***8217;s wife.

I remember Warren used the exact same trick to get out of paying Calzaghe after he lost a legal case. Shame the BBoC don't bother to do anything about things like this, or at least suspend Warren's license until he pays. Instead they waste time fining Fury, banning Chisora, complaining about what Haye says in interviews, defending incompetent/corrupt officials etc.
