I never heard Steve Bunce give the impression that the WBF belt was anything other than a minor title of little value.stujones wrote:And Audley was a world champion aswell, according to what he used to say on the Beeb.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Yes, I noticed that, I don't know if he meant to be ironic or sarcastic or what, but to the uninitiated it would appear that the IBF belt was a minor trinket.
Bunce article on Hatton-Warren spat
First things first , Hatton comes along he's an exciting prospect who draws the crowds, Warren is a promoter with clout ,
Warren does his JOB and promotes he makes stars cos stars make money, he don't do it for free he makes a lot of money thats why he wants these boxers who people want to watch.
Warren does his job he nurses Hatton along and helps make him a world champ.
Hatton does his job and sells tickets on the way to becoming a world champ , thev'e both done there job , Hatton got paid well because he's an excitting fighter with a very short lived fight style, Warren got paid well because he's good at living off the backs of others fair enough its his job,
They both do there job, but one day Hatton de3cides well i'm exciting i sell ouit arena's what not many ot5hers can do, i can make more money with King , by myself , with Hobson , Dobson , or Tobson it don't matter he wants a change of employers.
What happens next , Warren gets dirty and cry's foul he ain't allowed to leave me yet , and why simple cos he has'nt bled the stone dry. he cry's to the papers he releases info about payments which should really be kept personal unless Hatton agree's to them being made public, all in all he virtually demands Ricky works for him and know one else , well fack him. I wonder what he'l say if Ricky says to him ok Wanky, you want to be my promoter you claim you made me here's the deal
Zoo got 5 mill plus to fight me in my home town , shows i'm the draw so i'll give u a five no fack it 10 fight deal to take me to the end of my carreer ,. bUT COS U WANT IT SO BAD what we'll do is take 3 million a fight , for EVERY FIGHT wether i lose the title or not I want it gauranteed in writing cast iron and non negotible with the first 5 fights paid up front or put in a holding account now this fee is regardless of who i fight course by fight number 5 i could be facked and getting bowled over in 2 rnds , but heh you want me so bad lets do it.
You all think Wankys gonna go for that one will he fack he only wants him now while he's champ . probably had eyes on Khan coming along quickly , a quick go up the ratings keep Hatton fighting bums till he loses to one with Khan ready to step in and be the english saviour , Wanky probably thoughjt he had the title sewn up for the next ten years
