    Didn't a well known promoter from back in the day once say..."If you want loyalty, buy yourself a dog...!"

    Macklin has been a bit nomadic, I think that he should have left the Hatton/Graham stable a lot sooner... He allowed himself to go off the boil a bit and leave too much in the gym...:yep

    I think that Gallagher has done a great job with him, does this mean he will stay with his existing promoter...? Or will there be a switch there too...:think

    I think macklin is doing this to get noticed stateside, maybe to improve is chances of getting a world title fight.

    That's naughty if he has. Gallagher has helped him no end and also he said that he made him the fighter he is by getting back to what he does best.

    It's a bit naughty if he has left Gallagher.

    What time can Roach actually give him?

    He works with Pacquiao, Khan and various other fighters.
