I know! I seem to remember hearing Barry loves the guy, maybe that has everything to do with it.

Imagine what they could do with Frankie.

Didnt Eddie say in one his recent Ifilm interviews that Frankie was one of the top 3 boxers he'd be interested in signing if it was possible at some stage? Im sure he did.

He said that Birmingham was the next place he wanted to start putting shows on, but would need a big Birmingham draw to do it. So it definitely makes sense from that angle too. He would thrive at Matchroom.

No, just progressing his career will do.

Yeah I think it would be a good idea the way things are going. He doesnt seem to be fighting anyone of any significance at the moment which as annoying as the Brook situation.

Yeah, though obviously Kell had a world title shot in-between.

Looking forward to seeing who his stay busy fight is in December - I hope if it's somebody at Carson Jones level then people afford him the same level of respect they gave Brook. I doubt it like.

In my defense. Ive slated the way Frankie is moving along so far tonight. Im becoming a bit more balanced atleast haha.

Deffo mate , noticed a definite change over the last week or so. I had noticed. Now for me to be a bit less anti-Frank I guess.

Haha we can meet in the middle. At the end of the day promoters are greedy by nature to be honest and looking for the quick buck. It's natural really I guess.

will Purdy have robbbed another old man of his posessions come the end of this fight

ps - Allegedly

I think Purdy is a pawn in the murky world of boxing politics. ..That is only my opinion.

Hearn must know he's not up to much that or its an Essex alliance thing.

Frankie for some reason takes one step forward two back thats my opinion.

Last outing was poor in comparison to his capabilities maybe this is a message from Hearn.

I mean if he can get world and euro shots for bods like Purdy.

Im pretty sure he could take Frankie's career in the right direction.

What say you Frankie Gavin you getting that message?

Is it time to jump ship and climb on board the good ship Matchroom it is apparent Captain Hearn wants you.

Or are you the star of allegedly or is that Frampton this week.

Gavin will be the mandatory challenger soon, so if he wants a European title shot then he can get one.

Not while they have got Kell Brook as no 1 contender, Kell is on the verge of a world title, so he ain't fighting for the Euro title, unless they can see this, Gavin will be behind him in the ratings all the time.

Scamming confused old people out of thousands(allegedly)

Innocent until proven guilty, or at least that what they say.

I would have no problem telling anyone who didn't try when they got a shot at a world title gifted to them that I

didn't like them.

I didn't really know him before he embarrassed himself and British boxing then was arrested for allegedly

stealing old lady's hard earned cash.

But your right I bet he is a lovely fella really I should give him a break.


I don't like people that don't try if your limited but did your best fair enough.

He is limited but never even attempted to try so i don't like him.

If you know him let him know I would be happy to meet him and discuss it .

If Brook rejects mandatory status then the next in line (Gavin) will get it.

How long has he been mandatory ?

I don't think he is mandatory yet.

That's what I mean mate, his position is holding back Gavin, because Gavin needs the no 1 spot, to become mandatory, otherwise his promoter will have to do some wheeling and dealing, like Purdy's guys have done, I can only see an away day,, if anything, unless Brook makes a move.

how has he got a euro title shot? its a joke! hes british level all he ever will be, gavin would box his head off

It's a joke in terms he failed weight twice IMO he ent top 5 in Britain either IMO, he will make weight this time tho just see bundu beating him hope purdy wins tho as could be a big domestic fight if his euro champ...

why should he get a shot what has he done????

Bundu probably sees it as an easy defence

Total different getting him here to fight Gavin

tilt wrote:why should he get a shot what has he done????

His promoter offered the champion enough money to bring him over.

Fighters less able than Purdy get European title shots on a regular basis.

sweetscience wrote:Bundu probably sees it as an easy defence

Not sure about that. I think Bundu would jump at the chance if there were even a slightly decent offer. Bundu got a couple of good purses for his fights with Petrucci but other than that there is very little money in Italian boxing (brief digression: that's one reason why the big Italian amateurs - Cammarelle, Russo, Valentino - have never turned pro. They represent the armed forces and are effectively paid amateurs. They'd earn less as pros in Italy). Unfortunately Italian television gives hardly anything - if they do pay at all - for the fights they broadcast.

From speaking to Bundu I know that he would jump at any fight that would raise his profile/ranking and bring in a decent purse.

so hes tryin to buy him a european title, surely u would want to earn the right to fight for it ,an then win it, boxing is becoming more an more of a joke
