Irish Boxing

I hope it was Padraig. I'd put nothing past Wayne, though, he's been talking comebacks for years.

 

I see the lads on the High Preformance will be looked after after the budget cut the sports grant by 5%. John Treacy and the Sport Council will be meeting in the coming weeks to look into the matters of were the cuts come from.
The way I look at it is in the next few years those grants are going to be slashed again. So what would be nice to see happen be it Aiba or Irish Sports Council in certain sports it would be great to see some of the boxers who got grants and went onto the Pros to give a percentage of there purses towards the running of the High Performance squads in each sector. Say anything between 1 to 5 % to help out the younger boxers to help them train full time just as they themselfs have done so. I wonder if those fighters who have boxed within the High preformance teams would be willing to give back to the AIBA if they were asked?

 

Wayne also wanted Jeff Fenech, if he could lose about 60 lbs. and get down
to 135 lbs.
Kind of a senior citizen tournament.
Is Wilfedo (Round as a Potato) Gomez next?

 

They should cut all the bollocks EXPENSIVE elitist upper class sports that yield next to nothing on the international stage and provide MORE money to improving the facilities for the achievers within boxing.

And no I am not biased! :good

 

leighton u make me laugh.......seriously hahahaha

Anyone know what time the first fight is Friday and if there will be drink there? Trying to convince a few mates to go and it might take the promise of beer to convince them!

 

Anyone see premier sports have got the rights to the world series of boxing and espn friday fight nights . hopefully setanta will show aswel

 

Be wary of the beers. It was £5 for a yingyang the last time I was up north

 

You'd want a blowjob from a ring girl thrown in if your paying that kind of money.

 

of course it was that documentary was done months ago! I saw it the first time it was on wasn't worth a second look to be honest:deal

 

Paddy "Money bags" Barnes probably driving around in a merc he bought with the sports council grants while poor frampton gets the bus

 

Looks like Lee might get his shot at Martinez, apparently its between him and zbik and Lee probably has the slight edge as he is somewhat known in the states unlike Zbik?

Rather than been better known more importantly it will be on around Paddys day,Martinez wants to fight in new york so that will def give Andy the edge..
Big drunk irish paddys day crowd.:happy:happy:happy:happy

 

That sounds rather appealing i must say! at least if he beats martinez he will be seen as the proper middleweight champ! and it'll be big in America so he'll be making a name for himself!
