    Good luck and if you're going to do it more than once bear in mind that you won't walk away with your pockets full of banknotes every time.

    I've been well warned by pretty much every single promoter I've spoken to about the likelihood of turning a profit mate. It's just something I have to do. Luckily I am bustin my cherry with with a couple of lads that have put their own shows on before so it hopefully wont be so bad.

    Another word of warning - don't worry about how many supposed friends you lose because you won't guestlist them.

    Better regretting something you done than something you never done.

    Good main event for a first promotion, nice to see more boxing in Belfast aswell or in Ireland for that matter, we have been starved of pro boxing in Ireland especially the republic

    Same night as Mayweather-Alvarez.Too bad you couldn't include this event in the same venue and include it in the ticket price.

    Good luck bruv. Tbh its not about the money unless you are Hearn, he must be the only UK promoter who makes money from putting on fights.

    Hey,slap,

    I wish you all the best. You have always been a class act and a true aficionado of boxing, especially Irish boxing. In a perfect world, you would become a rich man!
