Brook leaving Hearn/Matchroom for Warren?!?!

[truestory1987]

I've seen a lot of tweets claiming that Kell Brook will be leaving Matchroom. Kell is holding a press conference tomorrow. Shocker if true

[IronDanHamza]

Not shocked.

Warren is going to be signing a lot of fighters now he's done a deal with BT Sport.

Expect to see a lot of fighters moving over. No doubt they will be being offered big money contracts.

surprised really, dont know where fish eyes is getting his money from, current stable is **** aswell. BT sport move will be great for uk boxing though, they dont charge for ufc so doubt they will for boxing either

anything to duck spence

I still contend Hearn cashed out on Brook with the GGG fight regardless of how much Brook actually wanted that fight so this isn't surprising to me if it turns out to be true. I'm sure Hearn was whispering in his ear "you got this...lets take this fight" hyping him up & **** lol.

The first thing that came to mind. Hearn talks him into getting beat up by Golovkin, then starts telling the media that Kell will fight his mandatory. Brook decides he's looking for new management.

I hope they all leave matchroom and wipe that smug look off of daddy's boy's face.

Whats the deal with BT Sport? Any UK guy got a US comparison with what BT Sport represents? Do they got a PPV arm or looking to start one?

BT Sport is a subscription channel.

I guess it would be the eqiuvilent to Showtime.

Sky Sports would be similar to HBO.

Except BT Sport don't have a PPV model whereas Sky Sport does.

Sky Sports used to walk alone and be the only sports power in the UK. But BT Sport has been closing the gap since it's managed to bag Premier League football dates, 100% of Champions League football and 100% of UFC footage. And now they've introduced Boxing now they've done the deal with Boxnation.

Sky Sports is still the premier channel(s) but now Warren has BT Sport behind him he's going to have a lot of tempting contracts to offer.

I'd still say the money is at Sky though, obviously if you're a PPV fighter like Anthony Joshua.

dont think so, ufc is free, they even showed mcgregor diaz 2 fight for free so i cant see them charging ppv for boxing. If you buy bt internet you get all this stuff with it so i think its an incentive for people to buy their internet, plus bt are ****ing loaded lol, dont think they need to charge for ppv.
