deGale and Gavin and BJ Saunders sign prof terms with Warren!

From what I saw in the olympics DeGale was the worst Gold medalist of the lot.
He seemed like a nice chap when he was on the boxing hour with his old man but I really cant see Chunky making any impact in the pro ranks.
If I was betting on which of the 3 will accomplish the most in the pro game I would have to go with Saunders, but i may be way off the point as Im only basing it on what ive seen

 

Poster boy my arse, the guy has a huge forehead and looks like somthing out of a horror movie.

Looks like the talk of GBP being interested in Gavin was just b/s to build his media profile before turning pro. Same with degale and his b/s about £2m offers to turn pro.

 

It would be interesting to see what £££ they eventually signed for

 

I agree Frank, they might all end up mediocre fighters but im pretty sure they'll at least get a shot at the "Sports Netwo...." sorry "WBO" belt.

 

He just said on 5live it was not far off the 2m he wanted, but it's spread over 2 years.

 

If people on here didn't like Khans personality wait till they get a load of James DeGale.

 

If thats true it is an awful lot of cash for siomeone who in my eye is fairly mediocre....Fwank may see something in the man that I don't. :bbb

 

DeGale makes Khan look like some sort of self deprecating, publicity shy choir boy. James DeGale has a face that requires re-arranging...I am a hater already :good

 

They replayed a clip from about a month ago where he bet a tenner with the newsreader that he wouldn't turn pro. He refused to give it her.

I must admit that I didn't see a lot boxing (pro wise) in De gale, but I could well be wrong.

 

rumour says it 1.5mil over 2 years. i reckon warren will have them rotating on friday fight nights and then all 3 on his big shows until they get to british, commonwealth level.

 

Haha Im already there, I cant stand the guy. Every interview is either talking about "money" or the "lights and glory". Nothing wrong with having ambition of course but I get the feeling he thinks he's the best ever already and thats it.

He might get on some sold out Khan undercards for example but I doubt many people will be in the arena when he's on so I think he's in for a rude awakening if he thinks everything is fighting infront of massive crowds. He's got to earn that and judging by his words so far im not sure he has it in him, but then that is just guesswork so we'll see I suppose.

 

****ing hell, just heard him on the radio "I'm a little superstar". This guy is a ****ing bellend.

 

We all knew this would happen before the boxer themselves even knew it. How is Warren gonna give up his chance on more Amir Khans. Warren knows that even if they aren't world champs he can't create enough of a buzz to get his money back.

I don't blame them. Warren is still the best promoter to sign with despite his flaws. Hennessey and Hayemaker have the right mentality but don't deliver in the same capacity.

 

Spot on

He needs to learn some humility or the whole of the world is gonna be on his back & willing him to be knocked out.

 

Well the Khan haters might focus their love on these guys now who will be getting all the limelight. Khan can tuck his chin in and get on with his career
