I cant see Barnes Nevin Conlon or any of em going pro, the money they are on is too good and they are on 2-4 year contracts ! Gary Hyde would find it hard to match the money the sports council are giving them even ! Their signing on Fee's would have to be very big to lure them away , John Joe will be gettn big money in the WSB and Davey Oliver too they have already signed up for the new APP or whatever ya call it
There's rumours that he's announcing a big signing next Tuesday. Good points you made about the lads above though. Who do you think it might be? As someone said, doesn't necessarily have to be an Irish boxer. Sneaking another Cuban out? Rabeisy Rameirez? :shock:
He said it in a recent interview didn't he? If he medals at the worlds and the commonwealth games then he definitely could. He'd have medals at all the major tournaments then
Quigley in the star today saying hell defo go pro eventually and fenoc i get what your sayin bout the 2-4 year contract but it wont make them rich by anymeans and will end eventually whereas lads with their talent could become world champs and make a bucket load of money in the pro game
i agree moorser... its a risk... but its a risk some of these guys r willing 2 take cant wait 2 c paddy murphy... a bucket full of supporters will b making der way 2 dundalk from south down:happy:happy:good
i was reading a statement from hearn der... its interesting tat he said the viewing ratings for his belfast shows were poor ... so 1 of the most exciting boxers in europe doesnt interest the british public... just goes 2 show yet again as much as they pretend otherwise if ur from ireland north r south the british public havent got the same affinity as they would with 1 of der own... dont get me wrong im not complaining ..... from a political point of view im quite happy about tis actually... its the same with rory mcilroy ...4 all his grand announcements tat he considers himself british an all:verysad... in the bbc sports personality awards he got stuffed in the vote by sports people who should have have finished well below in the popularity vote.. of course mcilroy is a first grade c o c k of the highest order an needs a slap but tats another issue:good
