That Daniel Kinahan show is on in half an hour on BBC1 for anyone that’s interested..
I'm guessing that show is why Tyson Fury didn't want to be put forward for the Sports Personality of the Year award.That Daniel Kinahan show is on in half an hour on BBC1 for anyone that’s interested..
He doesn’t come across well at all.I'm guessing that show is why Tyson Fury didn't want to be put forward for the Sports Personality of the Year award.
My conclusion after watching it is that boxing promoting is a murky world, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a McGuigan get murdered in the next 12 months.He doesn’t come across well at all.
This is exactly why but Hearn, Warren and Arum didn’t exactly do to well out of it either.I'm guessing that show is why Tyson Fury didn't want to be put forward for the Sports Personality of the Year award.
Probably only be on iplayer mate, you’d need a tv license to watch it.Anywhere online I can access that documentary from BBC the other day? I'm in the US.

Excellent. Thanks. I'll be watching this tomorrow.I think this is it on YouTube
Congrats on getting your book out, must be very proudExcellent. Thanks. I'll be watching this tomorrow.
Yes, Daniel Kinahan was the intended target.So that’s why Jamie Moore was shot at the MGM gym a few years back. Caught in the middle of some dispute?
Thank you and yes, I’m really excited. Very happy with it.Congrats on getting your book out, must be very proud
Cheers. As someone else mentioned this doesn't look good for Matt Macklin as he seems to have knowingly been quite involved in a criminal enterprise. He's always had a really good reputation in boxing as well.Yes, Daniel Kinahan was the intended target.
Its massive overreach now though, his downfall seen inevitable.BBC News - Panorama: BBC team threatened following Boxing and the Mob programme

Some balls on this bunch.
Keep waiting to hear Barry McGuigan has been found floating in a canal.

Might just be me but I felt Frampton became arrogant AF after that split. Didn't even know who he'd mixed up with.I think McGuigan is probably somewhat safer than others who didn't appear cos of who he is. Be a bit dodgy if anything happened to him now after all that.
I listen to Frampton podcast and heard a few interviews with him since his split from Barry and whilst the McGuigans are definitely no angels it was always a really dodgy split.
Can see what you mean, I don't mind him he's pretty funny on his podcast and also brutally honest about his fights which is rare in the boxing industry but yeah can see why some wouldn't be a fan.Might just be me but I felt Frampton became arrogant AF after that split.

Wow. It's one thing to say that he'd been nice when you've met him but to say hes not only of the nicest people you've met and you need him in the sport.Tweet

Bleugh.
Was coming in here to post this bloody disgusting considering Kinahan was responsible for the massive heroin problem in Ireland, you can guarantee Khan has got his pockets lined for this tweet money grabbing wee rat.Tweet

I saw Frampton's recent comments about "despising" the McGuigans and having genuine hatred for them. They've always came across well to me, and I am a fan of Barry, but makes you wonder when you see some of the splits he's had. It's boxing though and that is fairly common.Might just be me but I felt Frampton became arrogant AF after that split. Didn't even know who he'd mixed up with.
I'd have thought the same until you realise they've all been poached and ditched the McGuigans because a gangster came calling. I can imagine the McGuigans became pretty annoyed after that.I saw Frampton's recent comments about "despising" the McGuigans and having genuine hatred for them.

Not really. The mob literally ran US boxing in the 50s. As you can imagine the corruption was off the scale. There were characters like Frankie Carbo among the most powerful promotorsI just feel Kinahan is taking it to the next level with his ties to criminality.
As I said boxing has always had it's shady characters, maybe I should have said for us in Ireland and Britain it's maybe taking it up a notch. Promoters in these lands have always been dodgy, often with ties to criminal links, in this case he is the criminal running the show. There's also been whispers in recent years re mexican cartel money in boxing, I've seen the headlines, just never read into it to know a lot about it. As referenced in the doc, there isn't an overaching body that runs boxing, and that's maybe why its seems a desirable way to launder money and try to legitimise themselves as businessmen.Not really.

For the UK and Ireland you're right.As I said boxing has always had it's shady characters, maybe I should have said for us in Ireland and Britain it's maybe taking it up a notch.
