    Google Kit and Kat Lee. It was rumoured, maybe confirmed (I am not sure - it was the consensus) that he had been on a boozy drug bender with those two. Former Jezza Kyle, adult film star, "working girls".

    If they are fit and healthy enough to spar a few rounds then what's the problem?

    No chance this is happening

    Holly field said he wants 25 million to fight Tyson which he has no chance of getting so he's not gonna get anywhere close to that for Mccory either

    That's not his bottom line. That's Holyfield simply trying to optimise his earnings for any potential bout with a massive cash cow. In reality, he will be setting his figure high and his bottom line will be far lower than that. He's just trying to get some leverage.

    I'm sure Holyfield would settle for some sort of six figure sum to batter Glen McCrory. He could probably do it for free.

    I laughed at the post made by a guy in this thread saying McCrory always comes across as level headed when he sees him on television. He really does. I had no idea he was unhinged until the Sky sacking.

    What? I don't see an issue with it. Let's them scratch the itch and earn a few quid.

    You're not going to know his bottom line unless you're him...

    Basic sales negotiations.

    His bottom line, in reality, will be less than 10% of that. Holyfield boxing Mike Tyson is pretty standard stuff to Holyfield. He's done far more humiliating things for far less money.

    I'm his lover, we don't have secrets. 25 million bottom line or no fight, take it or leave it

    Mccrory sounds like he is struggling sad to looking at his twitter it's well documented his problems he's had with alcohol.

    His Twitter is an absolute car crash and has been for a few years. Constantly posts about how he is single and is confrontational with everyone from fans to public figures in the sport.

    Its a shame his time on sky ended, but you can clearly see he can't move on from that and he needs to let it go !

    I am shocked to be honest. His commentary with Ian Darke was one of the best I have listened to. Sky commentary hasn’t been as good since.
