When did Mark Thomson leave VIP?
Rumoured for a while, confirmed last night, along with Murray, Steve is willing to give both men their contracts back, rather than show disloyalty to Maloney.
In the Box scene piece it says there is still a thompson contract issue
I think Maklin has made a mistake leaving FW!! No chance he'll fight for a world title in the next 12 months!! He would have had a chance with FW though as just look at the chances Jennings and Lockett got!!
I fully understand why Macklin has gone - he is great pals with Ricky and Matt and so its understandable.
I simply cannot understand Martin Murray and Mark Thompson leaving - Steve Wood and Frank Maloney have done a bloody good job with both of them!! - perhaps Hatton offered more money - thats the only reason I can think of!!

Despite Matt's friendship with Ricky I too am surprised he left Frank for a second time - with Gavin and Broadhurst also under the FW banner I had anticipated some cracking nights in Brum.. :(
I would have thought Warren is well placed to help Macklin gain a ranking with the Governing bodies (at least the ones he has healthy relationships with) All I can think is that he wasn't giving Matt the type of assurances that he wanted to hear.
The fledgling Hatton promotions company are expanding quickly - are they taking too much on, too soon??
looks like they are running b4 they can walk,hatton will work damn hard to make this work & probablly m,ake the mistake of pumping alot of persy into it or probably dissappear like hayemaker.
