John Joe Nevin fighting on St.Patricks day in Boston

Good stuff!

I remember he was meant to be turning over last year with Khan promotions.

 

shame he has gone to America

 

Another Irish talent, fair few decent level Irish lads around now!

 

It's the best place for him to go. As he will build a massive fan base over there and will no doubt help him as a fighter.

 

America is the place for him Irish fighters don't seem to take off in Britain really remember Frampton has it in Belfast but America has a much bigger market for an Irish fighter look at what average John Duddy was able to do and make fighting in Madison Square Garden and everything.

 

Seriously needs to sign with a promoter. Has twice made a bit of a balls of turning pro

 

Good luck to him. He impressed me at times during Olympics. A lot to work on but talented nonetheless..

 

America is always the best place for a novice Irish pro. Wayne McCullough became the highest paid bantamweight in history fighting in the States. He's the blueprint. Bernard Dunne maximised what he had learning his trade with Roach at the Wild Card.

Irish fighters are possibly less likely to be motivated to win British titles. McGuigan was an exception but he would have sold his granny to make it.

 

John Joe Nevin could of done well with Hearne

 

doubt it Hearn wouldn't bother promoting Irish fighters no market in the UK, and he has Campbell doubt he would sign John Joe

 

i agree, states is the best place for the lad

 

Yeah that's right John Duddy used to sell out the Madison Square Garden Theater. Irish fighters cant go wrong out there.

 

Duddy was an exception. Plenty Irish fighters go out there and can't sell tickets.
