I read the news to day ole Boy...

Post by boxingchat »

About a Sheffield firm who failed to make the grade. They sold their Champion very short, they didn't notice that they had no change. Along Came Warren with his dough and it's off to the USAthat he must go.
He could have grabbed four hundred grand, now he's got half of that
sitting in his hand!!!!

He should have listened to uncle Frank, if he loses now he won't be worth a W#!k, Will Dennis Hobson bail him out, highly unlikely cos after Hatton's done he'll be left with nought!!

(Sung to " day in the Life in case you don't know!"

Hello Boxing Twat From Brentwood Who Crys When He is sacked!!!

Thought you would surface ... you really are a prize **** aren't you.

I note you fail to answer any of the posts concerning The Comfort Zone ...

But yet you surface with your smokecreens ...

The laugh could be on you old chap ... because if Clinton wins he takes your bosses money and then trust me your £400,000 will look like Chicken feed!!!

So please go and shove a red hot poker up your arse ... I look forward to our meeting it is going to be fun!!! ... just to see your face quiver or will you be to firghtened and have security do your work for you ...

You are really quite spineless ... you fail to answer anything that has been put to you ... yet just because you win a purse bid situation which I note you couldn't do on your own ... you start to gloat.

Mr Warren ... Who is Joe Calzaghe fighting in September??

Still waiting ... still the same old delays.

Perhaps Mr Warren should concentrate on sending his minor minions out to help make the promotion a success otherwise he might find his little revenge raid is a pretty costly bit of Machieviallian indulgence.

Good move by Sports Network in all reality, I'm sure Glen Johnson has been a little pissed off with the injuries of Joe and the number of times a proposed fight has been cancelled..... I'm sure, he will be pleased that he is getting a decent payday for a mandatory challenge and I'm sure will be greatful to all the parties involved in the purse bids.

Obviously Sports Network are very confident that Johnson still has it in him to beat Woods, cause if Woods does win this move might have set a devide between SN and FA that means a Calzaghe vs Woods fight will never happen.

Of course, Glen won't be a bad fight for Joe win/lose or draw vs Woods - but it won't be a particularly good one if he loses.

Incidently, BC - might be too early to say I know, but will the fight be broadcast on ITV? It will be very good to see?

Also, can you answer the question I brought up about the promotional status of Ben Rabah.... I heard that SN had signed him, was this true and is he still on SN books?

Sorry, I should have made it clearer for those who haven't read what this thread is all about. From Fightnews.

Warriors Boxing and Sports Network teamed up to win the Clinton Woods vs. Glenn Johnson light heavyweight title purse bid with a bid of $505,000. Fight Academy bid $457,000. No site named for that one yet, but it is expected the fight will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock LIVE Arena in Hollywood, Florida. Under the banner of Warriors Boxing in association with Sports Network, whose chief allegedly is the bitter rival of Woods' promoter Dennis Hobson. A jubilant Warren said today, "I'm happy to have won this fight and to cement my relationship with Warrior Boxing and Glen Johnson. Clinton's promoter may have won if he had the faith in his own fighter that his recent offer of a bet suggested. I'm sure Clinton will be disappointed that he will have to put his title on the line against a guy he has yet to beat on two occasions in his hometown and for 50% of what he was offered to fight Joe Calzaghe here in Britain."


Incidently, on a seperate purse bids - Warriors boxing just failed (on their own) to win the bids for Miranda vs Abraham... This bout is now confirmed for Germany on September 2nd. It might have been nice if SN would have "helped" out here and made a cracking undercard for Woods vs Johnson..... Who knows, maybe it could have given the "leverage" for the Lockett vs Rhodes winner to fight Miranda (if he beat Abraham). Although, naturally you don't expect anyone to be handing out $50,000 willy nilly - so didn't expect it to happen.

There are a lot of whispers about Ricky still waiting for his full whack, but boxing is full of lies so I wouldn't believe them

Warren has well and truly shafted FA here, love him or hate him he is the best operator this side of Cleveland.

Ol Frank has turned into a genuine, 100% fully paid up Bunny Boiler hasn't he.

He's packing Clint off to the USA in the hope he loses his title over there, plus making sure his fans have little chance of seeing the fight too, all to get back at Hobson.
He's probably going to lose money on this deal I'd have thought. Clint and Johnson are hardly box office are they.

Pffft better to see it on ITV then Sky. :TU:

What exactly did he fail to get Calzaghe? It was Calzaghe being injured not Warren not being able to get a fight.

You are kidding right? There were weeks of speculation before the Johnson fight was agreed, and numerous names were in the hat.

if the fight takes place in the USA, on USTV and with a site fee and with ITV showing it it to his fans in the UK how on earth will it lose money?

It would lose money on PPV with his following for sure but not on ITV.

Ben Rabbah is not with SN and never has been. He is with a close associate but not with SN. On ITV? Possibly, probably.

As for the comment about SN looking after there own fighters, they have, GJ and WB have a joint deal. It's FA who haven't looked after THEIR fighter for a measly $50k CW may well lose a decision in the USA and then what they gonna do? No Woods, no TV Dates (Sky won't give them any other tha for Hatton) and Hatton getting homesick and restless too too..........

"I have an Agent in the States delivering a Multi-Million pound bid for this fight" - Dennis Hobson, Sheffield Star (27.06.06)

Really? What happened to him then, cos only Don 'The WBC Bagman' Madjeski showed up with a chump-change bid? With the 75% of the bid to play with they still couldn't get it right and grab Clinton 'The new 'Road Warrior' Woods home advantage. Multi Million pound bid....more BS from FA whom incidentally, had they won the bid could not have put it on in the UK anyway because they hold no licence, as FA, in the UK and therefore would have invalidated their own bid if no licence was granted. Another silly error that would have seen poor old Clinton Woods getting rumped once again.

What a smart move Hatton has made joining this outfit. Still he wanted to fight in the US so next time there's a PO that's about all these fools can guarantee him!

Just think, one phone call from Clinton and all could be sorted for HIM. :TU:

I agree MW, FW is making a loss, and one that he can afford.

Doubt Hobson/Waterman can afford it, particularly when they cant pay Hatton his full whack.

Thanks for clearing up the Ben Rabah question, I think it was secondsout (surprise surprise) that said SN had signed him.... although don't quote me on that.

What about M'baye, he is a SN fighter, yes?

Well maybe Frank makes some cash if ITV screen it, but I doubt they'll be falling over themselves to buy a 4am Clinton Woods fight.

How about Frank agreed to help Warrior boxing get Glen home advantage, with the "understanding" that if/when he wins, he then gives Joe Calzaghe first shot.

Most of the Warrior boxing stuff has been on PPV, so I assume Warren will get a percentage of this aswell.

I have little doubt that your second paragraph is correct, not sure it will be admitted on here - but I'd be very surprised that Joe won't be next in line for Johnson.

If Clinton wins though?
