    Just read it 20k . Like Scissors said you might as well go for it , he hasn't got many other options!

    if he does decide to not take this fight he will probably paid less anyway in his next fight !!

    The double standards towards Galahad by some people is unbelievable. He made a mistake and served his ban. Let the guy continue with his career.

    Don't know about that. Many people on here state repeatedly that anyone caught doping should be banned for life. I'm in that camp, but the problem is our sport is rotten to the core.

    Is it tainted Mexican meat or juicing?

    Is it a missed drugs test because someone is in the midst of a mental illness or juicing?

    Did someone's brother accidentally slip steroids into your tea or is it juicing?

    The lines are blurred and it's hard to know exactly what's going on. There's often so much money changing hands we'll never know the truth, especially with the likes of Pacquiao and Canelo

    Is kg a dislike able guy or what? He gets hammered on here continuously. Yet others in the uk with questions to answer seem to get a free pass. Just saying.

    He just comes across as a right prat. That, coupled with the positive test, the cover up and the inactivity just means that he probably won't get any traction in his career at all.

    Didn't Warrington beat kid galahad in the amateur? I'm sure he did with his work rate. Can't see any reason kid galahad if he wins can beat Warrington in Leeds

    With Frank winning the bid he presumably would look at putting it on a UK show.

    For me, there is a much higher chance for his American opponent to pull out. Does it then go to the next available contender?

    For Galahad, I think it’s just about workable with a favour from the Ingle gym with costs and a big push by the gym with extra ticket sales.

    Certainly Galahad would be a worthy opponent for Warrington with the history and being based 45 mins away from each other.

    Personally I’m not convinced Galahad wouldn’t be better fighting at Super Bantamweight - surely he can make weight?

    KG must be feeling pretty low right now after telling the world Eddie was going to win the bid for him, then to find out he didnt even put one in and it could of been won with a little over 20Grand.

    I think Galahad suffers promotional more to do with the perception he boring to watch ! He talks a big fight and doesn’t deliver

    I thought so, i remember been told about this ages ages ago. I dont think it be any different in the Pros. Warrington will out work KG to points. Some styles for KG are not good and Warrington is one. KG needs people to stand with him or have little movement and not as overwhelming .

    I wonder if Eddie did say it? Is there footage of him saying it? Or just that quote from KG? It wouldn’t surprise me if he had tried to be a bit cheeky knowing what he’s like and tried to put Hearn on the spot?

    Or maybe it was part of the Andrade deal that Hearn wouldn’t bid on this? You’d assume that Frank had some inside knowledge to bid so low...

    It wouldn’t surprise me if something was going on between Brook and Hearn which has then had the knock on effect with Eddie fcuking the bid off.

    The Khan fight looks as far away as ever even though their both with Eddie, and it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest to see Pacquiao - Khan on a DAZN show in the states in the near future.

    That whole injury pull out thing the other day was blatantly BS -maybe Kell is pissed
