    Havent heard from Degale in a long time, and his dispute with the boxnation boss is a strange one, can anyone shed any lights as to what is James' actual problem? Is it a tv thing? A not getting Groves rematch?

    Anyone got any idea? Seems a stange decision from Degale.

    A wild guess: they can't pay him what they promised or he thinks he's worth.

    Or...

    He was annoyed over Groves signing, wants out but can't, and is trying to get someone to buy his contract out.

    true. and i do actually agree...

    but if i struggled to muster sympathy for one fighter, Chunky would be it.

    Is this what happens when your manager is also your promoter?? Total conflict of interest there should be illegal

    Nearly sure it is illegal in most US states. Should be the same here. It's just too wide open for the individual to take advantage of the fighter

    lets face it, the degale vs groves ended up becoming PPV, and degale was the one who pushed that fight into PPV standard with his mouth, that mouth was probably egged on by fwank ****** and that mouth is the reason 90% of the people on here dont like degale.


    so not only has fwank cost degale the money he owed, he has ruined the publics opinion of degale, and its hard to see a way back for him, i bet deep down, james is a good lad
