Sugar Ray Leonard Dinner ESB announcement

Brilliant deal for £50 BTW. I'd love to attend, but alas its a little far for me.

 

Another question for Ray

"Did you ever have doubts in your mind about winning a fight you were about to compete in?

 

nah what happened was his family was comfortable not poor not like rich but comofrtable

after he won gold his Dad had to stop working and needed an expensive operation and Ray boxed to get the cash

also if it wasdnt for leonard we wouldnt have £1 mill signing on fees

 

Saw stuff bout his dad been ill ayes.

He was the biggest pro debut when he turned over, cashwise i mean, at the time.

Kind of why i was thinking about all the big deals boxers were getting offered, how he sees it now and then etc.

 

yeh it is a good question

Jeff just meet you or Kevin there and pay you, still not 100% im coming (ill get ripped for this) but aint got my parents permission yet

also is the seats just getting a meal and a talk from SRL or are we getting a chance to get a poto and all that

 

Shame I can't make it.

I'd like to hear him talk about the rationale behind his many retirements and comebacks. Whether he knew he didn't have it any more v Camacho and with the benefit of hindsight when would have been his perfect time to hang up the gloves.

If he could have given the young version of himself a piece of advice what would it be.

And what was the deal with the hookers?

 

From what Kev Maree says to me today, if i picked him up right, you would probably be able to take a friend or parent at the same cost, pretty sure he says that, as you is off the esb.

It aint strictly shirt n tie ( school ties are a no no ) as he says, just well dressed, presented.

Looking at sub 300 going i think also, so theres plenty time for pics and questions with everyone.......

If i got anything wrong, excuse me, i aint too good with "foreign" accents when am on the phone in a **** windy field


My accent/english probably made no ****ing sense whatsoever either :good

 

i can do smart

my Mum and Dad cant manage, ill find a way

 

They is good.

I will just do what i do here, STFU, sit and read/listen.

:good

 

How long is long serving?

 

Jeff, that's a great deal you and Kev have come up with.

Have a great night :good

 

Not sure if I'm eligible or could even make it, but does he feel that he was indeed a light heavyweight champ, having beat the man, but not at the weight? Also, does he regret making both of the comebacks in the 90s, or was he glad to have tested himself again and again to know he was finished for sure?

 

What a nice move from Jeff & whoever else is organizing this.

A meal & meeting a legend like Ray Leonard for 50 quid? Thats an amazing offer.

I know I am the ESb evil scotsman & we all **** each other around, but a table with a bunch of ESB'ers & Ray Leonard, its the stuff of dreams.

No joking or fannying around from me here, Im being deadly serious when I say that this thread makes me swell with pride. The proper boxing fans on here take care of each other.

Big respect to everyone who arranged this, 50 quid for a meal & a meet with Sugar Ray Leonard... excellent stuff.

 

****ing hell Dunk, getting a bit emotional there :good sorry, no fannying about or joking from now on
