FRANK WARREN ON NICK BLACKWELL TRAGEDY, SAUNDERS, BROOK / EDDIE HEARN, HUGHIE FURY & SHANNON BRIGGS

[@01parmy]

the matchroom - stubhub relationship needs investigating

[@bhfireblade]

agreed

[@mactheman8797]

+paul armstrong Cant help but think, the Matchroom/Sky Sports deal is anti competitive or a monopoly. Minister for sport needs to be more vocal....!

[@markybyeah]

Notice this, apart from the ringside seats most most of the fans attending matchroom events seem to be piss head football hooligans. Did they really use stubhub to purchase overpriced tickets? the fans in the stands I mean...

[@BifurPoint]

+paul armstrong Frampton-Quigg tickets were daylight robbery Stubhub were charging 5x times face value. Disgrace!

[@betonboxing6075]

+markybyeah I went to Brook Vs Bizier this weekend and would tend to agree, the large majority weren't really boxing fans, mainly football fans shouting "Just fucking knock him out!"

[@louiskirby3539]

if he ad glasses on he'd look like brick top

[@CarlDraper458]

+Clovis Goman Haha!!

[@miniramptricks1986]

+Clovis Goman sounds like brick top too

[@lengduke6777]

GREAT SHOUT

[@jonhill134]

Brook vs Liam Smith would be a entertaining fight.

[@rmbb3095]

I normally find frank bitter about Eddie's success..... but he's spot on about the tickets!!!

[@FourStepsBack2009]

I agree about the bitterness that warren expresses but that doesn't mean he is wrong about the how matchroom deal with their tickets and their stubhub relationship. boxing fans are being made a cash cow for matchroom and stubhub with let's face it mediocre contests. Taking full advantage of the fans!

[@edotball]

HE'S GONE CHAMP classic line from Frank

[@mactheman8797]

35 mins video, been up for 8 mins.... 2 thumbs down? I take it these are the people Eddy Hearn referred to when he said: "livin' at their Mums house, knockin' one out all day long" XD

[@allblacks4lyfeback2black19]

lol

[@howardsend6589]

Ticket rant 100% correct. StubHub charged me £20 to leave this comment.

[@floyd5325]

+NI H thats a better show then the 1 in sheffield last week

[@floyd5325]

+NI H ya both cards do be shit thinking about backing brad to beat pac and ashley to beat broner could happen

[@floyd5325]

+NI H ya me to....khan can beat canelo with a good game plan

[@psbrayshaw]

I'm not just saying this but I would honestly pay £50 to watch an hours episode of Eddie and Frank (Gloves Are Off style) face to face.

[@davidthomas7108]

+Paul brayshaw Mate it would be fucking amazing

[@benjaminoconnor3380]

and a room full of lawyers

[@mattgoodman459]

+Paul brayshaw as long as frank brings the emails

[@tlig]

+Paul brayshaw Frank is way too sensitive. Believe me he would lose it within 5 minutes if they faced off.

[@boxingfinest4249]

he's right about stub hub and briggs

[@Gypsy_Danger_TMC]

He's 100% right about the stubhub

[@sjoyce100]

+ThomasTheTMC eddie sponsored by them think about next time you pay double for a ticket

[@Gypsy_Danger_TMC]

+sjoyce100 I already know that mate. He was interviewed by a friend of mine recently on the radio and I asked him to put that question to him.. swerved it completely.

[@whutwhutwhut]

+ThomasTheTMC I tweeted Hearn about his bullshit on April 9th sold out in 90secs, said that they've given stub hub 90% of tickets and didn't say a thing. The ticket stuff from match room is nothing short of a disgrace.

[@Cornwall1888]

Don't stubhub also sell tickets at face value?

[@markybyeah]

Apart from ringside seats - notice how almost all,of the fans attending matchroom events are pissed up football hooligans with big bellies... Did they really use stubhub to purchase overpriced tickets?? That's the big question..

[@saltire546]

" Saga Holidays" brilliant quote .

[@sjoyce100]

He's right about Chris Eubank Sr. IF you watch the fight he was saying go for the body earlier into the fight it had nothing to do with protecting Blackwell. Eubank has soaked up all this press attention unfairly.

[@mactheman8797]

+sjoyce100 But he prioritised his reasoning: "Number one, he's getting hurt"

[@teamgroves5611]

+Wazz Berger Jr continued to go to the head so that argument is invalid. Also Eubank posted videos of him dropping a kid in sparring who has never had a pro fight and was overly overmatched. Really care about opponents health

[@jamesmcgarvey4798]

would love to see a gloves are off special with promoters eddie frank mick hennesey and kallie sauland be fun to see

[@andyh3818]

Well said regarding tickets Frank. Great interview this.

[@1truereason]

Frank wasn't in the mood for any nonsense off kugan today! Haha

[@williamhayes1630]

That's because Kugan Hearn is interviewing him.

[@dannyhowell3184]

"Benn Eubank?Who's going to sponsor that? Saga holidays?" Warren is fantastic here.

[@keithneil4464]

The difference between Frank Warren and majority of British Managers/Promoters is that Frank knows his boxing better than all of them. Huge respect to Frank Warren, a legendary Boxing promoter in world boxing.

[@andychand8583]

why didn't kugan ask him more about the tickets?! he just wanted to move on to the next question. Eddie Hearns mate

[@boxinguniverse1064]

Frank can't talk about Eddie ripping off the fans, the guy don't pay his own fighters which shows his full of shit.

[@DirtyDeck]

When are we gonna see Warren and Hearn in the ring together

[@Tech_Soul]

speaks so much sense, like listening to Frank

[@keownred4630]

Shannon Briggs was the Lineal Heavyweight Champion (November 1997 - March 1998)

[@tommytimetelevision3316]

Brook vs Liam Smith - Cracking match up !!! Lets Get it on !!!

[@jamesmcgarvey4798]

hearn woudnt put that fight on he'd think it wernt big enough lol

[@peteradam6739]

+James Mcgarvey it's not big enough.....

[@jamesmcgarvey4798]

+Peter Adam what do you thinks a big fight in the uk for brook

[@peteradam6739]

+James Mcgarvey Khan is only "big" fight in the UK.....smith is a great fighter but he's probably least known brother and brook would be in a no win situation....Garcia or thurman are the ones he should go for

[@jamesmcgarvey4798]

+Peter Adam he wont get garcia or thurman in the uk thats never gonna happend hed have to go to america for that and he wants a fight at bramle lane khan wont happen this year he might get bradley over here but his ego might blow up after he beats pacquiao maybe jessie vargas but arum wont let him come uk if hes serious why dont get get ggg at 157 like hes banging on about

[@bsmith35]

Remember when Spike's corner pulled him out vs Eubank and said it was for his career and health? Yeh, those guys knew what they were doing. Worth remembering

[@Scarface1982G]

Great interview ha ha ha calm down frank 😅

[@Staton84]

Got to love frank he's at that age now where he's knocking on a bit and doesn't give a fuck what he says,to me he's like a fine wine he will get better with age 👍🏻

[@HarmanS61]

More like a well aged ale, bitter as fuck but strangely likeable

[@fedorkus-bebe6780]

shannon briggs is good for the sport..frank is just hating

[@TheFaaSH]

Eubank Snr is telling him in plain English. Don't take him out in the face go to body. How can people say It was strategic??!

[@TheFaaSH]

+Paul Smith You're not the real Paul Smith are you?! lol You have to listen to It from the beginning. I think Snr's wording in that 1 min was absolute genius. He was giving him warning that he is hurt but still reminding him that it's still a fight and they have to win.

[@Daxman360]

Frocth. I'm starting to wonder if Frank is doing it on purpose lol

[@roathripper]

saga holidays lol

[@MrCaptinhook]

Liam smith vs KOE TOE 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Cobretti20001]

This video popped up but waiting for paint to dry in my room....

[@milkey1]

Frank is a smart man great interview.

[@boony64]

+milkey1 funny as well- "sanctioned by saga holidays" cracked me up

[@jackobertelli6845]

I don't mind Eddie Hearn but Frank absolutely bodied him in this interview

[@Prolix8]

You may hate Warren but his rant about Stubhub and away supporters at football is 100% spot on.

[@tommyl6775]

Well said Frank.... Stop letting these secondary ticket selling sites ripping the fans off with ridiculous pricing!

[@keownred4630]

Kugan always stays silent around the ticket rip-offs and would never comment on it.

[@SCOTTMCKAY1982]

Saga holidays! :) lol...nice interview kugs!...funny tho to hear franks take on Briggs!...nothing like Eddies take on him coming to the uk!...not only do i want to see but im sure other boxing fans would also want to see Shannon fight the likes of Haye and Fury! :)...but if you can please try to catch back up with Shannon and see how the movements going! :) lol...also noticed you trying to defend Shannon against Franks comments! :)...LETS GO CHAMP! :) lol

[@DeLash1000]

Don't normally agree with Frank but he's right about StubHub and right about Shannon Briggs. Briggs hasn't fought anyone of note since losing to Vitali so for him to come in demanding big fights is a joke. If he fought Haye he'd just take sustained punishment and following the Blackwell fight (while it was an even fight), it's important that fighters are carefully evaluated on their ability to compete. Briggs is old and likely to get hurt.

[@LDN_KMT]

agree with frank on the whole brigg thing

[@keownred4630]

"He's gone, champ!"

[@JackRascal]

Nice to hear Danny Williams being mentioned in some way.... always loved that guy.

[@craigkelly5386]

Spot on matchroom are robbing bastards all about the money and that shocking card last week my god glad didn't watch it

[@adamblezard7213]

Fully agree on the Shannon Briggs topic.

[@connor8003]

Frank got the Shannon Briggs thing and stubhub bang on

[@B0X2B0X]

Beat promoter in UK. Without him we would have to stream so many international fights. Just wish he never left Sky and let Hearns take it. Such a big mistake.

[@marknoel7742]

he never left,they ended he's and many other promoters contracts

[@B0X2B0X]

www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxing/11909829/Eddie-Hearns-lucky-rise-does-not-affect-me-Im-an-innovator-says-Frank-Warren.html He left

[@eyeballjellyforbreakfast]

+Box2Box He didn't....

[@B0X2B0X]

Go research

[@whutwhutwhut]

+NI H boxnation has had some brilliant fights over the past couple of years. Yes a lot are on early hours but he can't so anything about time zones now can he. Ever heard of recording things? I'd sooner record and watch a show in the morning from boxnation than try to stay awake during a sky show. That 'massive' Liverpool show this week is sure to be fucking rubbish.

[@gratickner]

Spot on about the stub hub ticket situation. Like what Eddie Has done with boxing but 400/500% mark up on tickets that are already reasonably priced is a piss take. I think this is starting to turn the people that Matchroom have originally won over against them.

[@jameswilson1984]

Quick look at the script Frank!

[@TheNightsessions]

Real talk specially on the Briggs situation

[@Enigmatized13]

I don't want to see Kell Brook vs Liam Smith. Don't put those kind of ideas in Hearn's head too.

[@jonlynch2503]

Love Uncle Frank! 😂

[@webb45]

spike I Sullivan s corner knew he was in trouble. I have know idea by Blackwell corner didn't do the same. unreal. he took about 100 punches to many

[@williamhayes1630]

Fix your fucking grammar

[@Chris_Andre_Boxing]

Frank comes across really well in this interview. I have to say that I agree with him on the ticket pricing / re-selling and on Shannon Briggs

[@jupiter-8405]

Evander Holyfield in the background, Leroy Neiman?

[@s87cgn93]

No Bradley Pacaqiou (spelling) on boxnation sort it out frank !!!

[@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55]

+*unknown* Yeah, i'm surprised he never picked that one up. Even Broner v Theophane this friday, i know it's not a big fight but Broner is still a bit of a name and people watch his fights. Nobody in the UK seems to be broadcasting that fights=. If he wants to get more boxnation subscribers, he should be picking these kind of fights up to give people something worth paying for.

[@Soloadriantraveler]

Nigel Ben Senior haha I think you're the senior Frank

[@monkeymagic436]

sanctioned by saga holidays lol

[@WestwoodsMother]

fight should of been stopped in the 8th round it was clear as day

[@ashleyphillimore796]

Proper genuine bloke frank is would love to work for him!! Speaks the truth and takes no nonsense!

[@williamhayes1630]

And explain how you would like to work for him? You have nothing to do with boxing so sort it out

[@s87cgn93]

As a manager of a fighter a security guard etc

[@splottcardiff3993]

Very sad. My thoughts go out to Nick Blackwell and his family... Out of respect, I think the Chris Eubank should be honest about why he told his son to go to the body... Fair play, Nick Blackwell is a warrior!! Get well soon..

[@Basil2TheBulgarSlayer]

On the Lucas Browne thing, people keep saying "he doesn't need to make weight, why was he taking a diet drug" he can still need to lose weight without having to make weight for a fight, plenty of fat heavyweights that would benefit from being lighter.

[@SkyeHearn2023]

+Conrad Dent Heavyweight also want as much weight behind the punches as possible

[@MammaZizou]

Absolutely brilliant from Fwank on the Shannon Briggs debacle. It's a contrived theatre of the absurd that brings the sport into more ridicule territory. Kugan does not know that as at heart he's a TMZ hack kind of chap.

[@MrCaptinhook]

Groves and FROTHHH 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bsmith35]

Frank is right on Shannan Briggs, come on Kugs. Its ridiculous. Briggs would get hurt bad vs AJ

[@TheOtherSide867]

Stop ripping the fans off its wrong!

[@Bash_Factor]

Stub hub ownership is probably 40% Hearn 25% AJ 35% to another of eddies mates

[@Selous_Scout]

So I take it that none of franks fights have tickets on stub hub then

[@EaZyxNoW]

He looks like the villain out of the last action hero with arny. lol

[@gervais412]

Frank Warren, well worth listening to him.

[@dualingramss2356]

He gets a thumbs up just for the stubhub rant.

[@mikeeclea3943]

Benn v Eubank, saga holidays will sanction it 😂😂

[@solidcake3401]

kugan went very quiet when he brought up stub hub lol,he's 100% right though, frank builds up fighters an makes them big names, hearn makes a name for himself an makes himself richer, he's a only way is Essex wannabe who doesn't belong in boxing, and if it wasn't for his surname he'd be working in tescos lol

[@TobyLerone-yn3rr]

It's alright when he's booking private jets for 2 thugs to fly to Luxembourg to fight

[@teamgroves5611]

If yo're referring to Haye v Chisora the fight was in the UK they didn't fly to luxembourg to be approved and im sure you watched these two thugs??

[@TobyLerone-yn3rr]

they was licensed by luxembourg and they did both fly there youtube chisora haye behind the ropes

[@twilh]

GROVES AND FROCK

[@dominicash7077]

Frank clearly knows Briggs isn't going to fight on box nation when he can on sky so he's giving him stick. This is the same frank that was trying to get Shane Mosely, who's 44, to fight Liam smith a few months ago. Complete contradictions!

[@pulvi3329]

Frank going in hard on Briggs! 😂😂#letsgofrank

[@jaybay5939]

**LUCAS BROWNE NEEDS A LIE DETECTOR TEST like armstrong took**

[@You-in6lm]

Id rather watch a Frank Warren Ppv than Eddie I haven't got a clue I ask my dad Hearn .

[@skyarsenallll]

lets go FRANK lets go

[@videomaster8580]

Why you calling it a Tragedy? We dont know what the final outcome is yet. Yes of course its a bad thing to happen, but I wouldnt call it a tragedy just yet.

[@pyoks]

kell brook v liam smith ? a mega fight ?? go to bed frank.

[@tommytimetelevision3316]

Would be a great fight... Finally Kell can earn some money. And will still champion at his Joke Show title at welterweight when Smith leathers him in 9 rounds

[@alexrjharrison]

Lots of sense talked from Frank in this episode, especially about Stubhub & Matchroom and about Shannon Briggs...

[@bawn_again]

Go on Frank!! you tell em.

[@amac8750]

What is with the boxing world and the phrase " it is what it is" "it was what it was"

[@pulvi3329]

....it is what it is Andy 😉

[@peteradam6739]

The whole ticket thing is a fallacy! I've never had an issue getting a ticket for a match room event....all sold out events have tickets being touted on secondary sites....the fact frank can't sell out a venue means it's never an issue for him!

[@ceebsy1997]

Franks going in 😂😂

[@HuxleyWasRight]

interesting that Frank rightly makes the case for boxing remaining legal because it makes it safer yet I've heard him mention he supports keeping drugs (recreational ones) illegal, how can he have such cognitive dissonance ? if banning boxing causes it to go underground and thus makes it unsafe then surely you have to apply the same logic to the drug trade ? it's funny how people can hold such obviously contradictory positions and not notice it, i guess it all comes down to his bias.

[@seanmagee1]

What a ridiculous comparison.

[@marknoel7742]

+seanmagee1 agreed

[@HuxleyWasRight]

seanmagee1 not ridiculous at all and the comparison is very apt. Where there is a demand there will always be a supply, keeping something illegal makes sure the coffers keep flowing into criminals hands and increases the dangers for people partaking.

[@seanmagee1]

+Roughcovers Roughcovers comparing a sport with a deviant demand for illicit substances is ridiculous. I find it bemusing that you can't understand that. Boxing is not a criminal activity that destroys families, whereas the use of illegal Class A drugs does. They are completely different topics. Your example was poor.

[@HuxleyWasRight]

seanmagee1 you're taking the comparison too literally, of course theres a difference between taking drugs and sports, but Frank shows that he understand that where theres a demand theres a supply and that banning something, no matter whether you personally agree with it or not, doesn't make it magically go away and causes all manner of unintended consequences. just because you personally disagree with something doesn't mean it should banned. By the way i don't touch drugs, never have done. I would encourage everyone go and see what effect drug decriminalisation is doing in Portugal.

[@paulk1702]

Would be good to see James interview Frank / Eddie now and again. Kugan has too much association going on.

[@aronroberts1065]

frank ima put a world title fight on in the copper box lmao

[@jaybay5939]

shannon briggs should fight audley harrison or in a HEAVYWIEGHT PRIZE FIGHTER 3 ROUNDERS

[@LED1512]

Old Frank talking some sense there. Brook v Smith MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

[@LonelyTimes2000]

Dead right about Briggs.

[@paul1982100]

sòoooooooo jeleous of king eddie lol......

[@ryanflood635]

+paul handy I dont think he is jealous of Eddie, more like he struggles to understand how eddie manages to take the piss so much and yet the fans still lick his arse. They both do the same job so the sales pitch doesn't work with Frank.

[@oldgregg6915]

Spot on about Briggs! Love the guy but I don't want to see him hurt. sponsored by Saga holidays 😂 hahaha

[@ridwan149]

Will we ever see frank warren fighter vs Eddie Hearn fighter

[@1truereason]

Sam eggington v Bradley skeete happened a couple of weeks ago mate

[@SuperDr999]

It's happened 5 times 3 2 in FW favour

[@psbrayshaw]

Who else is sick and tired of Frank saying "let's do sealed bids...." it will never happen. Eddie will not let his main men fight on Boxnation and Frank will not let BJS and Liam Smith fight on Sky Sports in my opinion.

[@carlreeder1856]

he's gone champ!!!! love it well done frank.

[@bawn_again]

SUPER salesman Eddie 😂😂😂👍🏼

[@Leest0n]

Smith/Brook ...I like that :0)

[@RossyMartin]

Wound right up by Eddie and then begs him for two fights. Classic.

[@pound4poundko701]

Team Frank

[@jamesrobertson4458]

i dont believe Lucas Browne cheated, i think something was put in his food or Drink over there. jimmy the Hat.

[@markybyeah]

He does look a lot slimmer than he's ever looked though. Not saying he's took anything. I'm just pointing that out

[@danielcostello7556]

+markybyeah I thought that before all this came out. A lot more ripped too hope he doesn't get a ban tho I like him an it seems all these cunts are taking something 100%
