We're all disappointed but we (FWP) want the best for Frankie in the long term, so we'll stand by him and help him get the support he needs. In the meantime, I'd ask the public to respect the lads privacy and enjoy the fight that we'll be putting on instead"

true, however if i had spunked all the money out on getting that venue for Mitchell i may not have been that circumspect, either

anyways we have to stop this, because (1) it is polite constructive debate, it isn't childish diatribe so lets get back to what we're good at, eh? and (2) i refuse to post 3 consecutiv e messages in defence of FW

Indeed - I have to get back to irking Buncey into another insult as having been called a pillock and pompous in recent times, I'm hoping for a 3rd P to complete the set.

Based on their schedule I won't pay for it next month. Maybe I will subscribe in January if they have some good shows booked.

What are they showing from Finland? Their schedule only has the Povetkin vs Boswell fight, it doesn't have the Helenius vs Chisora or Sprott vs Gerber fights listed.

Why isn't it on their schedule then? I don't understand why they wouldn't want to mention some of the better fights they have to offer.

They should be appealing to us by advertising the good fights they have.

How much does it cost to update a website? £1.00?

They should put some effort into an enterprise which could make or break the future of allegedly.

Perhaps they don't think its needed. You don't like the look of the Degale/ Groves bill then?

Who is Groves fighting? Groves and DeGale vs no marks doesn't interest me.

I would prefer DeGale fought someone like Paul David rather than the guy he is scheduled to fight. David is higher ranked in the BoxRec rankings.

At least it would mean more than a fight vs Guerrero.

It might encourage others to subscribe, but it has put me off.

I want the best in Britain to fight. I don't want some new WBU vs British title like situation, were half of the best British guys go down a different path to the rest, to start again.

Who is Stephen Ormond? I don't think an Ormond vs Burns fight is going to be an attraction even if he does beat Johanneson.

That would be a good fight. I wouldn't argue with that one.
