Wont happen.
Lee is looking for big payday against chavez jr, neither of em can sell tickets in the usa and I doubt any major tv network would pick it up. Don't think lee has a promoter in the usa either has he?

 

lee i imagine could shift a **** load of tickets in new york as hes irish and is a good exciting fighter
di bella is lees promoter

 

I dunno is di bella his promoter for sure? He wasn't tied to any promoter before the Vera rematch. Lee isn't a ticket seller in the states yet. If he was he'd be a main event fighter selling out venues like duddy did

 

I totally disagree. Look at the McEwan and Vera fights. Lee packed both places out. There were more fans there for Lee than Martinez. Lee has got a fan base in both NYC AND Chigago.

 

just a hell of a lot wrong there,Di bela is Andys promoter for sure and he has sold more tickets for his last two hbo apperances that the main events and Lee is looking for titles not money as a priority.Thanks for the input though.:good

 

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

BOXING: Irish head coach Billy Walsh has confirmed elite lightweight champion Michael McDonagh will return home from the Irish training camp in Hennef, Germany tomorrow. The Irish Elite squad are in Hennef preparing for the final Olympic qualifier for European male boxers in Trabzon, Turkey next month.

Ireland are also due to take part in the Chemistry Cup in Halle, Germany next week. Nineteen nations, including Russia and China, are due to take part. However, McDonagh, who boxes out of the St Mary’s BC in Dublin, will not be competing in the Chemistry Cup or the Olympic qualifiers.

“Michael felt a bit uncomfortable in his surroundings and it was felt he wasn’t ready for the step up from domestic boxing to the Olympic qualifiers and he didn’t want to deny anyone from Ireland the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics in Trabzon,” said Walsh.

Multiple Irish champion David Oliver Joyce has been drafted in for McDonagh.

 

:huh

 

White bums. Bleeders. Mickey Wards the lot of them. This Fury vs Rogan is another scam, bummy white fighters keeping the titles for themselves.

 

Spot on Steve_Dave a well thought out and reasoned argument,You sir may well be the messiah of boxing,I tip my hat to you.

 

I don't like the sound of that at all Matt!! I feel that there has been too much pressure on McDonagh the whole time and there's probably constant whisperings in his ear that Joyce would do better on the international stage. Regardless of how good Joyce is, Mcdonagh has beaten him the last 3 times fair and square. I feel that this is not fully McDonagh's own choice, and that's fairly disappointing. Hopefully I'm wrong
