Kind of agree, but we went through a good few years (5?6?) where almost all of franks shows were home fighter v tba, and marquee fighter v X who drops out. I think thats where mr warren gets his bad rep from, years of practice. Im more forgiving to hearn as he hasnt, yet, given me years of dissapointment - some of franks shows, and specifically his wbu "world title challengers" were ten times worse that tonights offerings, kedebe anyone? Tonight, poor, altho 2 of the fights were IBF eliminators, the bantam fought a kid who came to win. Also he hasnt had all bad shows in his first year of single sky supplier. Brook jones, froch bute were great fights. Purdy jones upcoming, allegedly.... Warren, on allegedly, and just before, has upped his game, simply because he had to. We all got fed up.fizzjambo wrote:I don't really mind Matchroom giving their shows the big hype. It's their job to sell it as best they can and risk their prized assets as little as little as possible. Eddie certainly knows how to do all the extras of a modern show in terms of promotion and production.
What gets to me is how alot of supposedly knowledgeable people seem to carry anti-Frank pro-Eddie goggles around with them. There really ain't alot of differnce in the overall quality of shows they put on. I'm always really puzzled how an ordinary boxing fan can start supporting one promoter over another? Who cares less whose doing the show, what number of twitter followers they have or what bitchy coment they have made to each other? All we should judge them on is the quality of their shows, and there isn't really a fag paper between the pair there.
My glass is half full tbh
To be fair to frank he was making so much coin off hatton fighting stiffs defending a bogus world title. And Whod blame him. If you were making, for example, half a million easy money would you risk it?
