    Paulie going on a hilarious rant about Conor's boxing ability, doesn't pull any punches. I miss really Paulie commentating

    What's he going on about

    they put son of Nigel Benn two-time world champion, as in Nigel was that (he wasn't really, as WBO wasn't a legitimate world title in 1990, nowhere near it, but that's what they meant)

    Malignaggi is so hard to listen to

    They’d not been under contract with Matchroom for over a year.

    That was quite a rant for mishearing / misreading a passing bit of noise on the Netflix broadcast.

    However the second half of the rant was spot on, Benn doesn't belong in the same breath as most of the names he calls out. Paulie offering him out for a bare knuckle fight sounds like a good watch though, I'd even pay for that.

    All for his kids future though.

    Imagining videoing that and imagine getting Mr Benn as your number plate. Odious individual.

    The uploader talks a lot about religion in his videos. I believe he's a muslim. Seems a bit inconsistent to be endorsing this kind of behaviour.

    BoxingKingMedia who has over 1m "subscribers" yet only averages about 20,000 views per video... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Yes. But most of these boxers/ ex-boxers probably have the green eye. They're all materialistic people desperate for money so they probably can't stand to see this. That's the comedic part for me. Benn, as mediocre as he is, would piece him up as he is an old man and is feather fisted. I see he's had plastic surgery since his bare knuckler, face will never look normal again. He took all that permanent damage to his face for paltry money in comparison. He is fizzing.

    He's bought followers. That's why Koogan and him have fallen out. Boxing King Media is a proper tool though.

    Point in having a super flash car when the legal limit is 70mph.

    I thought the Reg Plate was worded as Mr Bean at 1st. :biggrin:

    Never understood the attraction with cars and all the bling jewellery – most of it loses the vast majority of its value within a couple of years of buying it.

    Beyond genuine collector pieces, it’s one of the worst investments you can make, and ironically he had to sell most of what he previously had to cover the legal costs, guaranteed taking a huge hit on it.

    Yet the first thing he does is replace all the bling and upgrade the lifestyle again.

    Same kind of moves that ended up bankrupting Tyson and Holyfield, and now has Mayweather needing to fight again. These types never seem to learn.

    I’m sure Ward had Hopkins on the podcast talking about exactly this sort of thing – discipline, longevity, and not letting the lifestyle bankrupt you.

    Yes, everyone knows this, but iFL TV is hardly whiter than white. Some say it has done the same.

    The iFL TV MTK Global, MGM, Goldstar promotion has been and is a disgrace. Taking money from that lot is worse than anything BoxingKingMedia has done. Both are terrible interviewers and Ingle's best friend loves the sound of his own voice.

    The materialistic male baffles me, even if I had the money I'm not driving around in a narcicist mobile like that.

    I wonder what they do with Benn now.

    His last two fights have stunk the gaff out.

    He is so clearly limited and at best domestic level.

    Do they gamble, and start eating eggs again? Or start going round graveyards to dig up opponents with some name value.

    Benn vs Kell Brook or something, and just make him a professional missfits type fighter.

    Or stick him in with a Garcia and just get him splattered and make their cut from 1 last big fight?

    I just dont see how he keeps the casual fan interested if there isnt Eubank in the other corner.

    Also how is he demanding an 8 figure purse, when against anyone but Eubank I dont see him selling tickets.

    That's right. Say what you like about Carl Froch or O'Hara Davies, but they put their money into properties which will hopefully set them up in the long run. That's the way to do it.
