IMO F rank Warren and Barry Hearn are miles in front of the rest.

not from a fans perspective they aren't.

Why do more fans turn up to Warren's shows than anyone else's then?

Hatton Promotions 17 shows
Barry Hearn 16
Frank Malloney 15
Carl Greaves 11
allegedly 9
Steve Wood 9
Steve Goodwin 5
Miranda Carter 3

I take my hat off to Carl Greaves running 11 shows in one year without any TV money.
You also have to give credit to Steve Goodwin for running his mega bills in the York hall
Don't know how long Hatton promotions will stick around after Mathew retires.
Whatever your thoughts on the two Franks and Barry, they are great for our sport and we'd be in a sorry state without them. They've had their ups and downs but bounced back on a number of occasions.

Hennessy's still the best for me, but really could do with getting a TV contract in 2011.

He's got by far and away the best World champion Britain has. Hearn and Warren for all their "success" have made a real mess of the game IMO. Always ready to pull their cash cows out of great matchups and deprive the fans of the fights we wants to see.

Despite what people feel about the competitiveness of his shows or anything else, for the promoters job of getting his boxers known, there's noone to challenge Fránk Warren.

Steve Wood is great for our local scene.

good to see vaughan back promoting shows at the olympia aswell



frank w areen is the best promoter by far in this country then 2nd is tied between maloney and hennesay maloney has the tv deal but hennasay has by far the better stable, hatton puts on good local shows and hearn is good for prizefighter but there should be 4 a year to much is over kill

Wood is a nice guy with a good stable....been to plenty of his Wigan shows and always value for money.

I think Hatton will be the number one promoter in the UK within the next 3/4 years.

Fantastic stable in a very short space of time, putting on great shows and treats his fighters well from what I've heard. Notably Quigg, Roberts and Doran.....all unbeaten, top prospects for 2011.

Warren is miles ahead. One of the best things to happen to boxing in this country.

Sue me Frank!

Totally agree.

Some fine Scouse talent coming out of his VIP stable too.

Real gentleman as well.

Warren is by far the best. Haye could become a challenge if he wants to, he is a very sharp guy but he needs to start now and build more off his own success; if he waits until his career is over he will miss his window of opportunity.

It's something to do with legal reasons as if I remember rightly Frank had a forum(i think it was ESB) shutdown due to comments made about him, don't know the full story but it's something to do with legal reasons, their used to be a thread stickied here which explained it, don't know where it's gone though. But if you type Franks name in full it will automatically change it to alledgedly.

Fwank is head and shoulders above the rest, imo.

FW by a country mile

Best new promoters up and coming Steve Goodwin and Steve Wood

Whilst respect goes out to every promotor for their hard work and dedication, allegedly is #1. Magnificent seven #1 consolidated that and 2012 his prospects may well have a few world tiltles in the stable then.

Merry Christmas all!

Warren by a country mile.I havent always liked the cards he's put on and thought there was alot of mismatches but lately ie the magnificent 7,etc he's starting to put on very good events!Nobody even comes close in my opinion.You could some of those promoters together and i still think he's done more!lol

Warren is no1 follow by maloney. Hearns does not invest in young boxers any more Hatton is the new kid on the block but does he have the backroom staff that the other 2 have or the contacts that take years to build. The new year is going to be very hard for all of them with only 1 TV company buying boxing i bet we will see quite a few changes and some names and people dropping by the way side. What is happen out there now it is TV that is running british boxing not any of the promoters or BBBof C
