    Reminds me of the “what have the Romans done for us?” Scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

    Mr Kinahan is a smart fellow and venius businessman,I”m sure he will find a way out of this situation as he has in the past.
    God speed and take care brother.

    If DK's reading this, I have a couple businesses that could do with a cash injection of 'legitimate' money.

    Good to see them getting some pelters in the replies.

    Only listened to the podcast once, Catterall’s ‘Wahey, we love a good tear up’ persona got right on my nerves. Fascinated to see how they address/avoid addressing this though.

    I find myself in a really peculiar position in that I love boxing and enjoy watching it on tv. I enjoyed the Newcastle show. The British title fight was excellent, Alan Shearer was there and it was another avenue to enjoy a sport that I love. Obviously I don’t support anything that has been done to ( allegedly) finance Probellum but we know Queensbury’s and Top Rank’s links with MTK and Hearn put the Golden Contract on Sky so everybody is tarnished. The only plus side to a collapse of Probellum is that there’ll be less competition that could lead to better match ups but I won’t hold my breath. I hope the boxing stays on Eurosport and I look forward to the Paul Butler World title fight that’s coming up shortly.

    The crowd at that Newcastle fight was mad though. You’re sort of led to believe that Ritson is on his way to a Warrington-like following in the north east, and he always seemed to draw a crowd with Hearn, but it was empty all night, even for the main event, like he was fighting at 5.30 or something.

    Question is and obviously Kugan knew, who much was old Danny boy filtering through IFL too, maybe the mad Helder rumours were actually true, that he was told to basically disappear for Danny boy so he could buy IFL and filter his cash through it and use it as a media wing

    Good to see Boxing Social at least trying to ask about Kinahan. Unlike IFL.

    Frank Smith: "We follow all laws and guidelines and no further comments".

    Romesh is apparently meant to be a millionaire. Cant be all from a youtube channel that gets about 10 views per video.

    Tyan Booth reckons Helder got held at gun point and told to give up his IFL stake. Wonder how true that is

    We as the boxing community should hold sunny Edwards, BJS and the others to account. They took blood money and were happy to be a spokesman.


    Probellums biggest shareholder is Ali shams pour. He owns portions of Hennessy promotions. He’s a kinahan frontman that has business dealings with kinahan. No one knows who this guy is or where his money has come from but he has his fingers in the MTK pie.


    Just because your not a director at companies house it doesn’t take a genius to see all MTK fighters have joined probellum to go and fight on Eurosport.


    Jack Catterall could have taken any promoter he wanted but chose to fight in front of 500 fans in Dubai. There’s a reason for this

    They don't owe me any explanations. Therefore I won't hold anyone to account. Kinahan's business is his business it has nothing to do with me.
