I cannot recall any (many) times whereas I would never buy a Frank ticket as its just too reliable. Fck, me, I have said that too many times, and that I say it again, after another cancellation, says it all
This comes up on here every year or so, and as I've previously posted, I've had my fingers burned by FW in the past, when buying tickets for a show, and then on the night, the bill has changed dramatically. I wouldn't buy a ticket to a show of his, regardless of what it was, because there is a fair chance it is either cancelled, or you don't end up seeing the fights originally announced.
My thoughts exactly. Warren shows also have the bonus they don't tend to sell out anyway so come the night if it amazingly is the card you want to see you can buy the tickets.

I get matchroom with things like the Wembley date being cancelled being annoying as a lot would have sorted travel if trying to get trains cheap etc but it is a lot rarer and at least they ain't had your fight ticket in their account for months knowing it was likely cancelled.

That is definitely one bonus about an FW card. Another bonus is if it actually happens.

Eddie’s putting sh!te on in the UK atm but Fwank is taking the piss! The odd couple of shows a year that get put on channel 5 are better than 90% of FW’s. He’s got some intriguing fighters, like Dubois, Gorman, Yarde and Saunders. He’s certainly struggling to make fights and full cards.

He’s not eager to put on some proper bangers like Yarde vs Burton and Dubois vs Gorman.

Remember when the BT deal got announced and people were all circle jerking like it was gonna end Sky and Matchroom?

I ain’t gonna dig the threads or news reports up but I think the announcement was for a hell of a lot more shows a year than has actually been shown too.

Yeah - when FW first signed with BT it was for 20 shows on BT sports plus a further 10 just in allegedly. Based on his start to the year I’ll be surprised if he gets to 15 shows in total. We’re 9 weeks in so far this year and still no shows.
