Anyone know if Booth has been able to do this deal direct with the Germans and cut Fran k out of the loop?

The Germans won the purse bid to stage this fight, Warren has no promotional involvement and he is not Groves's manager, Booth is. No reason why Booth shouldn't deal directly with the Germans under those circumstances. Hard to see how FW would benefit from the cancellation of his own show as he will not be getting paid off the Groves-Stieglitz fight. If Groves wins, FW would promote any defences in Britain, there is that. But he has lost a major show and an important subscription driver for Allegedly channel, any benefit Warren might get (the win isn't guaranteed) is unlikely to be until autumn at the earliest because no boxing promoter in his right mind would run against the European Championships and the Olympics. Also there is no guarantee that 456 would even show the Stielitz fight as they will face rivalry from Sky in the bidding. Doubt FW is delighted about all this.

That's three fights now he has shrugged off - and I know about 18 people who've lost about £2,500 in train fares and arrangements.

They lost on previous bouts too. Bet Kenny is seething.

Three fights thought it was 2?

Make a big song and dance about it and he might fly you over to Germany. Actually probably not.

There was a half-blind African that got canned at the final hour, then another injury at back end of last year and now this one.

It the hotel money I lost too, due to it being the Arena thought I would stay to avoid missing train. The ringside tickets were 150 quid I had 4.

Well you'll get a refund on the tickets, do you not think you'll get a refund on the hotel rooms?

Sensing a hint of sarcasm here!

It's not the greatest way to go about it but are we all really slagging off a young English fighter gunning for a bigger and better challenge?

Stieglitz is a strap holder but still, he is clearly on a different level to Anderson and the WBO means more than the British and Commonwealth belts.

It's a great opportunity for St George.

It's a bastard for everyone who has lost out though. I hope everyone gets as much moolah back as possible.

Jeff was on the card, Yiddo. He is not going to get paid, he is not going to fight. I think he's got every right to slag Groves off, if the injury is bogus.

I dont agree that its a fake title but the question of to what gain is a puzzling one. Where does Groves go if he wins? Id have a more of a problem if his 1st defence is against Anderson.
