Did anyone hear Andy call Booth the 'Best trainer in the world' at the press conference? Anyone know anything about this guy Booth? Andy seems competely enthralled by Booth. Like an inductee in a cult. I hope this guy Booth is on the level - and not taking Andy for a ride......
Fra - Long time no see. I hoped you were after getting run over by a bus - but no such luck. FYI Frampton has relatvely speaking VERY little profile down here. (Largely his own fault I know blah blah...but thats another story.) When I think back to Barrys time (and I was around then too sonny boy)- Barry was a household name to every man woman and child here in the Banana Republic. Relative to what he has achieved, and his world class elite level skills Carl is the invisible man. Oh and FWIW I was one of the 17,000 in the crowd. Thing is though it was in Northern Ireland, was'nt it? Not down here... You see Fra I know about Framptons profile down here 'cos I LIVE here - on planet Banana Republic to answer your question. But I get where you're coming from - No point in being stupid if you dont show it, as they say. :scaredas:
U said he had no profile amongst Irish fans...were those 17000 fans mostly Irish .... In this part of Ireland his profile is huge...len ur a free state c.o.c.k. Who idea of what Irish means is very narrow minded within a 26 county contex
You dope Fra - I am spot on with what I say. 100% He is VERY underappreciated down here in the southern 26. So he is popular in ....what? .....6 whole counties!!!! Big swinging mickey. :tired Still dont believe me? Let me tell you that there is not a mention...not a whisper ....down here about Carls world title fight on saturday. Contrast that with the 24/7 media frenzy that followed that talentless clown Conor McGregors recent dog-and-pony MMA 'event'.
Good post. Whatever about Broner - he at least IS some sort of a world class boxer, you can watch him box and atually appreciate that the guy DOES have some actual talent. There is ability behind the bling. McGregor seems to be good at nothing. Just bling. I saw his recent farce. One guy sitting on another guys chest for 5 minutes elbowing him in the face. Pure mindless yobbery.
30 years ago Barry McGuigan was 'our British boy'. Nothing has changed. Mind you Fra's crowd called him 'Barry the Brit' too! atsch Terrible shame about Framptons current lack of profile down here though. :|
I've been ordered to shut this thread down. It's been decided that all irish fighters are british, and this thread isn't viable anymore.
Sensitive arent we? Typical - when you cant win the ball you play the man as usual. I'm fond of the facts. Show me where I am wrong and I have no problem with any crowd...... The crowd I'm interested is the crowds that should be but are NOT attending huge fights featuring this islands premier boxer, Carl Frampton in venues OTHER THAN Belfast. It should be happening and its not.
This content is protected - fixed it for ya. Nice try though. The This content is protected (as you yourelf clearly admit) only applies to This content is protected . Put it another way, when you have a top quality product - and you are only selling to 1/5 of the market.... In any mans language that is poor management/marketing.
Frampton sells most of his tickets in Belfast and mostly fights in Belfast. Andy Lee sells most of his fights in Limerick and fight his 6th fight soon in Limerick. It is clear enough to me,you fight where you sell.
settle down will u.. im only winding ye cummings fites on frampton bill... hope its broadcast:good:good
