Frank Warren has put together a nice stable of fighters.

    BT are just getting started and Frampton had the chance to be the poster boy for them, he got his 2 packed shows in Belfast and his Windsor Park fight, Frank delivered. He's also got Selby and Warrington so the 3 biggest names in the division from the U.K.

    In Fury's case, he was never going to go with Hearn and be answering to him and AJ, and he also becomes the main BT fighter at HW, probably supported by Dubois and Gorman now.... and his best mate BJS is with Frank.

    Although Sky are the main guys right now, that's mostly down to AJ. Frank is on the up and BT are a huge company themselves, he has more pulling power and can deliver the big fights now.

      More importantly though Hearn pretty much has a monopoly over the top amatuers. Got most of the last Olympic team, no doubt the same with the next. Has Okolie and Kelly already headlining shows. Yeleussinov and Ritson are great signings. Warren maybe winning a few skirmishes, but Hearn is set up for the future far better.
      I disagree, aside from Kelly, Buatsi and maybe Cordina, the rest of these ex GB fighters are **** average. The likes of Fowler and Okollie aren’t gonna be **** IMO, and it’s not like the Ritson’s of this world are gonna be world beaters. Yeleussinov is a very good prospect but is he going to draw or sell tickets?
      Warren has some solid prospects in Dubois, Yarde and some lower level guys like Woodstock, Gorman, Barrett. Another one to look out for is Harvey Horn, I watched that kid win his ABA championship in Liverpool, he’s a good little fighter. Warren also has a MUCH BETTER track record of actually developing these young prospects into quality fighters. Hearn has never really done that, the only guy he’s successfully guided from the beginning is AJ and let’s face it, “a monkey could’ve done that”. (in the words of Schaefer)
      Hearn may have a slightly better set up for the future but it’s by no means “far better”.

        Well said. Completely agree...

            Tete as well. Granted, his last outing wasn't much fun, but he's a quality fighter. I was hoping he'd be involved in the next WBSS, but it sounds as if Warren has his reservations.

              In all fairness to Warren, throughout the years, he's been part of building some big fighters since they turned pro. He's no mug. Going with BT might be the best thing he ever did...

              BT obviously want to play a big part in the boxing game and they can. BT are no joke, they have rights to Champions League, you don't get that without having serious money. If they're willing to seriously invest in boxing, don't be surprised to see other good names jumping ship or serious prospects going with Warren instead of Hearn.

              Let's be fair, Hearn's stable isn't even THAT strong when you think about it. once AJ loses and the fickle casuals disappear, who's his next biggest names? Khan and Brook are probably nearing the end of their careers, Bellew too. Apart from that, he has up and coming prospects and there's no certainties they will be top fighters or big sellers, anything can happen. There's only really AJ that gives everyone the illusion that Matchroom and Sky are in a very strong position, which they are as long as he keeps winning.
