    inverted snobery is as bad as actual.

    Your making pure assumptions based on a couple of interviews you have seen on youtube.

    theres nothing wrong with peoples parents helping them out and giving them a good education. if you parents could have done it for you....they would have. if you could do it for your children....you would.

    there clearly working, have jobs. trust fund babies i have a problem with, kids that got help from there parents you cannot complain about.

    Of course, you are quite correct - however I am more likely to respect the self-made millionnaire than the young pup who wears a flashy suit who takes over the family business..... that's just how I am.

    There's different kinds of upbringing that a parent can give, there's the one where they receive a top class education, or there's the one where they are taught the value of everything and that without a work ethic you'll get nowhere.... I'd say I was somewhere inbetween, always pushed hard at school but encouraged to enter a job where the employer put you through training - that way I was always earning a fair wage whilst attending uni FOC.

    That's something I'd also look to pursue too as a parent.

    Couldn't agree with you more on the trust fund babies, btw :good

    :lol:

    I'm sure you'd be well proud of your dad who can put away a crate of Skol on a typical weekday (was gonna say worknight but that's not really true....) and also a family size meatfeast all to himself.

    Whilst your mother pushes your two younger siblings round the estate in some rust bucket pushchair wearing loads of 9-carat gold.... especially those big earrings that are more like onion rings from your local chippy.

    No he hasn't. He liquidated his company to avoid doing so. That's why he has Frank VVarren promotions, Sports Network etc. He was told in a court to cough up and he instead liquidated his company. ****'s trick, that's why I cringe when I see posters say he looks after his fighters. He does look after the prospects but as soon as you lose or wanna leave then he ****s you over. The proof is there as well just look at his form.

    All of this is alleged as well I must add :verysad

    Of course you would respect them move but it doesnt mean you should disrespect those who had allot of help along they way....which is what you did with Francis VVarren.

    Trust fund babies drive me mad. My GF went to school with allot of people like that. Its a whole different world.

    It doesn't work like that. If you open up a limited company they can only take what's invested into the company and it's assets. They cant take your house or personal savings as long as all is above board i.e not siphoned at the last minute.

    If I owned a business that sold cakes for instance and went bump and didn't pay the wholesaler where I get the ingredients from they could go on a list of creditors. Then administrators or lawyers go through the business and sell the assets and stock etc. That sum then goes to the folks in the list from the top down by list of importance in which the tax man is normally at the top and man on the street's whole sale business is after that :(

    So if Frank paid himself a good directors wage from the company and left say £250k in the bank when he liquidated firm then Calzaghe can only chase that pot and even then he is behind the taxman.

    Pretty sure about this as the place where I did my first 2 years as an apprentice went bump when the recession started. I got ****ed over for 2 months wages and ended up in a mire through it all.

    Only way that can happen is if a written agreement between him and frank was signed as was out of the business domain. i.e frank was using his other business to fund fight to make sure both were running at such a pace that he would pay less tax rather than one company do well and pay loads. In which the judge would frown upon and do him over. Still I need a source co I am 99% sure J.C got ****ed over royally.

    As for 'daddy'. I went to school with a lad called Joe Roles. At 18 I had a job as a bricklayers apprentice and drove a Saxo. He was a director at his dad's steel stockholders business and drove a BMW M1 at 18. At 21 he got a Lambo and had a ridiculously fit missus :verysad Thank god my mate (r.i.p Ben young) ****ed her behind his back, he was known for having a massive **** too, as his nick name Ben 'long-dong' Young would suggest., That appeased my envy I must say ;)

    Nout worse than the rich kid at school being gifted everything whilst you break your back for next to **** all moneywise. There again I can say everything I have is from my hard work instead of dDddy.

    My memory of that time is that Calzaghe won the lawsuit, Frankie liquidated the company and JC got shafted...
