That aside there have been rumours floating about that Witter might be upping sticks soon, whether they are true or not is of course another matter entirely.

I've not noticed Witter at London shows before myself....

Good point Beagle, Witter & Nelson were at the last Henessey show to cheer for Ryan Rhodes not because they're looking to jump ship.

Why would Warren be pissed off.

I'd be happy.

Witter cant sell out a phone booth and Warren doesnt want hin to fight Hatton, now he has the perfect excuse not to make the fight.

I know for a fact that Witter has been speaking to other promoters since before Christmas.

Not many are interested, he over values himself.

James,
I assure you Witter attends shows all over the UK if Ingle fighters are on the bill - and so do all the rest.
Obviously there are going to be some exceptions but in the main, they all support each other.

By the way James, Witter was at the show at York Hall when Rhodes fought.

In a nutshell Frank is left with egg on his face!!!!!!!!

Wether Frank is bothered about witter or not doesnt matter he still cant afford to lose SKY fighters to the BBC,obviously the money passing between Sky and Warren isnt making its way to the fighters.
Tell me who do you all consider SportsNetworks 3 main fighters? and apart from those three what esle do they have apart from a slew of WBU bums?
Remember the days of Eubanks,Benn,Colins Hamed,Reid and Woodall quality fighters at the time all proper world champions.

How times have changed

Whether they are genuine world champions or not, a lot of Warren's fighters go to him because they know they will earn more money....

I'm not sure whether Frank is really bothered about losing Witter, he was becoming more trouble than he was worth....not that Witter has actually gone anywhere yet....
