Very good points. Warren is definitely looking long term.
Warren has been quiet in recent times compared to Hearn, but he's been around for donkey's years and has a determination to be the main British promoter. I bet he's pissed off seeing AJ's success and wants a piece.
He's done well recently with getting the BT deal and building his heavyweight stable of Fury, Joyce, Dubois, Gorman and several young, undefeated heavies. I think he's going for the nostalgic days of huge, all Brit affairs, gain the interest, then have a merry go round of his own fighters.
