Comments Thread For: Warren, Hearn Trade Words Over December 22 Head To Head

[DougalDylan]

If a promoter already books a certain date, why would another promoter book the same date? Hearn is an a$$hole, plain and simple.

I hope Warren books Wilder vs Fury on the same date as Joshua fights the winner of Whyte/Chisora.

... because when you book a stadium or arena only certain dates are available ( and Warren could check that easily so you can bet he did ). He would probably have to put Whyte / Chisora back a month.

The story goes originally the British Boxing board of control prohibited such a clash for the "good of the game".

However a new dominant promoter came along and campaigned for that to be changed as it stopped him putting his "super" fights on when a small show existed that promoter ....

Frank Warren.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

Good post.

What's good for the goose...Wilder vs. Fury II, on April 13th! Just kidding, don't do that to the UK fans!

If they're both not in the UK I don't see the issue , run them on the same day.

Warrens record ..

Stub Hub is the most evil thing in the world and robs fans ... then he gets the Fury fight ... now Stubhub is the greatest and the best way to sell fury vs Wilder tickets .


Fight clashes are ruining boxing and must change ... loses market dominance ... now Warren says flight clashes are killing boxing for the fans ... Fury v Wilder may happen ... now its hey lets clash on April 13th.

Warren got the better card for once but I'll still be tuning into the Hearn card

It would split the UK fans between Joshua and Fury! That wouldn't be a good thing?

Maybe the best way to solve it might be just to do away with PPV!

Eddie Hearn vs. Francis Warren in an 8-rounder, maybe Barry Hearn vs. Frank Warren in a 4-rounder as the co-feature.

Fine, put it back or forward a month. Especially since Whyte/Chisora is a re-run anyone outside of the UK sees as a worthless gatekeeper bout. Like Warren said, it's just ******. It not only takes money out of the promoter's pockets, it takes it from the boxers too, not to mention the fans that would have liked to see both bouts live.

Let’s be real Warren is upset as we all know what will happen.
Whyte v Chisora 2 gets wayyyyy more ppv buys.

Clashing on April 13th would do no good for Warren.

With AJ’s huge casual fanbase more people in the U.K. would buy an AJ v Whyte 2 ppv fight at 10pm U.K. time rather than a Fury v Wilder 2 Vegas fight which wouldnt start in the U.K. until like 5am.

Warren isn’t silly but is saying it to try and get Eddie worried.
