I know we bang on about RTE a good bit. And apparently 'all that craic' (Peters) earlier on in the year didn't exactly help renew their commitment to boxing. You can even accept the money needed to spend on visits like the queen of england, Obama etc.... But I heard today they spent 226 THOUSAND euro sending Jedward to germany. 50 Gs on their hotel. Sickener
Agree about them fighting each other, looking at the galway bill you had two lightmiddles Donnellan and Hannon and two light heavys Mc donagh and Waldron why not let them fight each other next week,If each boxer sold tickets and gave Hyland 500 euros back im sure it would make sense and a great long day of boxing. Hyland Donnellan i wouldnt be sure of Alan has only done 3 4rounders so he cant fight for the title and Eddie would be much much too experienced for him in my opinion.
Thats absolutely digusting crazy money to be spent on a competition we didnt want to win cause we couldnt afford to hold the return, The main problem with rte and the boxing at the moment apart from the money is they didnt get much of a show in citywest and after all the hassle that must have left a bad taste in their d4 mouths.
Its not often a fighter of Rigos Calibre comes to these shores the irish people got to see a special fighter that night IMO
Thats true Max but from a tv point of view it was ****,I know Dolphil stumped up the cash but the set up and people involved is always huge in those outside broadcasts plus someone had to spring Jimmy Magee from the home and make him sandwiches Davey Boy had to surgically remove his sash,Just saying a lot of hassle for what in essence was over after one body shot.
3 years ago and you dickheads are still talking about Irish boxing as if anyone gives a **** No one does
