    So, the dream scenario: Your numbers come up on the Euro lottery and you win the jackpot and it's £50mill.

    Would you put anything into the sport, at any level?

    I'd build a gym in a good location where there currently isn't one.


    And then put the rest on Audley to win via KO

    If I had won the £115million a few weeks back I would have bought the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF. Made a bad ass unification tourement.

    Genuinley promised that to myself.

    Some people on here would win the lottery and still say £6 is to much for Premier Sports.

    I'd maybe do a boxing channel. I'd need to look into it of course.

    Do a British version of 'Legendary Nights' (that has long been a dream of mine)

    Boxing is a corrupt game, and it takes money bungs to get your fighters to the top of the rankings in alot of cases and keep them there.

    I would definately be ring side for all the big matches and move in the upper echelons of the boxing fraternity. I would access whether some of my monopoly money was worth investing yes.

    I'd maybe try and get more boxing on TV and help out former fighters going through tough times. It's not enough to cure the other ills.

    I'd buy a gym, become a manager and trainer, and **** up boxers careers with my half baked ideas on how to develop fighters.

    No nothing - boxing is a dirty business - there are other things I would invest in.

    The most I would do - is build myself a lavish gym with boxing equipment - maybe a ring - sauna and jacuzzi and showers and massage tables - so i could train there - and open to the public in general - but charge them - maybe £7 per session or £35 per month.

    But it would not be one of these sweaty hardcore boxing gyms by any means.

    I would want to attract women - and maybe I could appointment myself coach of ladys only boxercise classes. :yep

    If you won £50 million.......:lol::lol::lol: If is a big word.:deal

    Gym, that's about it. I'd be tempted to start my own boxing channel so long as I had the people around me to manage it properly and I wasn't making significant losses.

    I would get a **** hot trainer to train me for the rest of my amatuer career and if I turn pro. I would jack my job in and get a good degree in sports science and start up my own gym in a few years and run it using scientific methods that are absent in boxing.
