Talent Meets Tough Questions - October Red

I've watched a recent interview with Frank Warren on IFL TV, so once again, shout out to Coogan Casias.

It looks like they may have invited a few people down to the Queensbury head office, PR, get some stuff out there.

And what I found, or what I, I got from this interview, obviously we know that there's been a change with the contracts where obviously Dana White can come into, uh, the Tyson Fury side of the contract.

We've already covered that.

Frank obviously admitted that as well, and there's been like a, like a change with, like, Frank Warren's opinion on all of this about who can get involved, and it doesn't really matter, and we just wanna see them fight.

So there was a, not a dramatic change, but definitely a change to the tune that both him and Eddie did seem to be in sync, uh, singing in the first place.

So I found that quite interesting.

The dynamics seem to be changing with that.

So it seemed pr- like I said, it seemed pretty straightforward.

It's about the fighters.

I don't really like when somebody takes center view of the stage, and, you know, before, you know, back in the day, it was just, you know, the promoter sat in the middle answering questions with, like, written media.

You're going back to the old school style reporting.

And one of the things he did say to me, and why I'm gonna bring this up, because it's not just Frank, um, Warren that's mentioned it.

He's mentioned obviously the change with the media, the fact of the questions, that they're getting bored of answering the same questions again, that he's kind of...

The media being saturated, inev- inevitably you are gonna get people that are gonna ask the same questions, and he's not really a fan of that.

So he prefers, like, the old school or maybe, you know, certain channels, uh, going down to his office and, and just doing interviews with them there when, when he sees that it, it, you know, it's relevant.

So there's a little bit of a shift in dynamics towards, uh, media, which I do find interesting as I am in the media myself.

He kept on saying that the fight's on, which obviously we know.

Wasn't really interested in anything else.

But he was heavily plugging, and I do get his point when he's saying this.

Frank Warren's saying, at the end of the day, Netflix are the ones that are investing all of the money in this.

Basically, we just need to shut up and get on with it.

If they wanted it to be in another country, how can you argue with them when they're footing the bill? He's of the, you know, he's of the ilk of don't res- disrespect, uh, your pay masters, which are inevitably Netflix and obviously Seller, uh, Turkey, Al Alsheikh, et cetera.

So he's of the opinion, put up, shut up.

We're getting the fight.
