Sounds awesome! lol, he has a weekly column every Saturday in one of our tabloid newspapers. If he has to talk about a fighter such as David Haye who is not promoted by him he just rips into them and belittles um. Really annoying. Then he hypes his own fighters like they're the next Ali. "James Degale is already getting a shot at his first title in only his 6th bout when he fights for the WBA International super middleweight title". Yeah nice one Frank, that'll make the general Sun reading public think he's already a genuine champ in such a short time. I would love to read his column just for fun sake to see how much crap he can spit out...No wonder it is in a tabloid.. I have to say and I mean this in no disrespect to British fighters or smaller British promoters but out of the big 3 that are well known here....Warren, Hennessey and Maloney I have to say Maloney is the only one I have respect for...Hennessey puts out more crap in the media then I have seen from many tabloids

I'm drawing a blank on the name right now but it can't be any worse then the promoter who was on Billy C and compared Maskaev to Willie Pep

I know Khan has been abity of a tool himslef but like I said some of the things would have roolled off your shoulder if he was not with Warren... My FAVORITE Frank Warren momnent and a reason why I will always be a Larrty Merchant fan is when Calzaghe fought Manfredo and Larrty interviewed him after the fight called him out on the quick stoppage and the quality of opp Manfredo was...Asked Calzaghe who he was going to fight next and Calzaghe replied with the normal..."Well my promoter decides that but who ever is next I will be ready and beat then so you will have to ask Frank about that"....Warren who was about 6 steps behind them during the inrterview startes to walkj up thinking he was going to speak on the issue and Larry turned around gave him a dirty look and a "No One wants to hear what you have to say asshole" expression then said..."No were not going to do that" then motioned to Warren to get away...Warren looked so embaressed it was worth a million dollars I wish I had a copy of the moment I would watch it daily I think that particular moment REALLY cemented in Calzaghe's mind the damage that Warren had done. Here he's JUST beaten Lacy, which was supposed to be the breakthrough win for him in terms of being universally accepted as a P4P elite, and Merchant doesn't even want to listen to Warren's crap. He MADE Warren put together the Kessler fight next, when I think Frank had the idea he'd be selling HBO more Manfredo/Bikas.

Yeah Haye was a tit with his words, but Warren is still a dick! If that was his fighter he would have backed him saying its marketing etc! You will soon see his bitterness towards other fighters and promoters! That is always a laugh to read when a fighter loses and he'd be like "if I was his promotor..." and basically it'd be a jibe at the promoter.

Oh make no mistake about it I know how Warren is WELL...TOO WELL sadly enough....I have worked on promotion cards of his before setting up pressers etc and Warren is a tool....I don't know him well on a personal level where we have hung out and talked shop etc but a few interviews and a few times working on cards and he is a pain in the ass.... I just agreed with the stuff he said in the article I am in noo way a Warren fan..... Just have to make that publicly clear just in case we have visitors who run by this thread and they mistake my agreement for Warren Praise
