Are you thinking along the same lines as me that this outcome doesnt bode too well possibly for Burns aswell?

i've thought that ever since i heard allegedly in a radio interview which called Morrison, hilariously, 'Burns stupid half-manager- and he is a stupid man' and basically, the gist of it was 'I am going to fvcking rinse them in court'.

Fwank doesnt seem to lose very often in court at all so im guessing his QC is top notch.

Thanks to that link I've learnt what 'swirl' means. There's an advertisement for an article about black women who've dated white men that always pops up when I go to 'scene, I decided to click it and now I know. I wanna get my swirl on with Eve but some other honky beat me to it!
I wonder if Morrison has to pay all Frank's costs?

i love the bit where our friend says he was just seeking an apology at first- I make no comment as to the veracity of this statement- but his opponent insisted it had to be done through his lawyers.
if that's the case the man really is a stupid man.

Burns must regret the day he left Warren, since then everything has gone wrong.

Eddie has a responsibility here to support him. He lured him away, he must have convinced Burns it was ok to do so. I doubt he'll have to shell out 2 million but it doesnt look good for him getting away without paying something to FW.

If I was a young fighter coming through, the issues faced by Hatton, calzaghe, bellew, burns et al would definitely have an influence on who i signed for. Fight in the ring not the courts

Burns must have been raking it in if Warren thinks he's been done out of 2 million quid.

Good point, and I think it's already happened. Match room have several potential world champs coming through. You can't say that for the opposition. What will be interesting though is what happens when the likes of Luke Campbell and Anthony Joshua reach the end of their contracts with Eddie. Will they re-sign ? I don't mean they'll go to fwank, but they may go it alone. They all do it at that level. I think this is the biggest threat to matchroom's dominance.
