    For me I want to have the people behind the fights and some of my favorite iconic venues. Ailen Eaton, Don Chargin, George Parnassus, Russell Peltz. I’d probably pick Eddie Futch and Ray Arcel as the others.

    I don’t think Jim would be present if he knew the men who would be attending-

    I wouldn't sit Eaton and Parnassus next to one another. Bitter rivals there.

    Tyson Fury
    Mike Tyson
    Tommy Hearns
    Marvin Hagler
    Pacman
    Ricky Burns (cos I've net him and he's a lovely bloke)

    I'd also invite Tony Bellew but give him the wrong address.

    I think Kellerman would help keep the conversation on track and would use his leverage in the sports media world to bring the right kind of exposure to the dinner and to the fighters.
