One of 16 children born in the Dublin docklands in poverty and how he became a millionaire and lost it all I do wonder though does a journalist realy ring your doorbell and call you one of Ireland's greatest losers and then tell the public that you sneered and got angry. Hell the greatest saint in Ireland would be angry if that happened to them. Grandstanding from Nicola Tallent and we have no way to know if it ever happened. Not the first time she claimed to doorstep people, maybe it's part of a journalists job

This is what your dealing with with these morons who turn a blind eye to a blood soaked regime. Same with Katie Taylor who was over at that gym also. You think angel Katie doesn't know the story? Her devout faith didn't prevent her from attending that organisations base to train in Marbella. Matthew Macklin was there but the dogs on the street knew who and what was behind it. Anyone who jumps into bed with this organisation is guilty by association. I wouldn't accept one dirty penny off a pyschopathic killing machine like this. I'd like to think no decent person would. I'd run a mile from it. Or a marathon. Either you have morals or you don't. Everyone has a choice. There's no grey area. That means no photoshoot. No interview. No mention of the name. Stay away. Simple. Anyone who works for these people and accepts their blood money is morally bankrupt and plays a vital part in trying to legitimise an evil empire: No matter how small the dealings. I used to enjoy boxing. There has always been an undercurrent of shadiness but nothing like what this mob has done to the image of the sport. I don't watch or listen to anything got to do with anymore. It's a shame so many turn a blind eye or don't seem to care. The whole scene is rotten to the core.

generalgerry wrote: » I have to go back on my earlier post. In fairness, Ger Gilroy and Off The Ball had an interview with Nicola Tallant covering essentially the same stuff as she discussed with Dunphy. Anybody who has the courage to tackle this subject has my respect. It creates an interesting situation for Kugan Kassius and IFL as well. He's been sort of casually being moved in to the position of PR for Kinahan and MTK. I don't envy his predicament to be honest. He got in to it to be a youtube reporter on boxing, not to be a puppet for a criminal drugs empire.

I'm a long-term listener to the podcast and always find her contributions very interesting and informative. Nobody should ever forget what sort of person Daniel Kinanan is, where he came from and why he's now in Dubai. The boxing part is window-dressing.

Higgins5473 wrote: » Because as Cunningham said, this fight is a huge sporting story with talk of a half billion purse and journos need to start writing about it in sporfs columns, then we went to her and I found it very surprising that somebody could be so clueless about a sport. It’s not exclusively a crime story. Her comment was as dumb as it comes so when I heard that I had little faith in whatever else she said.

Higgins5473 wrote: » It had nothing to do with not knowing about the lads boxing, listen back. she hadn't a clue about the concept of what 'white collar boxing' is. She says " white boxing, or white collar boxing I think they call it?" That is not someone that knows about boxing. That is someone who hasn't the faintest idea about the sport.
Chalk McHugh wrote: » She knows about the boxing alright. Didn't her paper catch those pictures of Flatcap and the lad dressed as woman running away with guns after the Regency shooting? When there was no garda about? She's been following that cartel boss for a long time. Here in Dublin and over in Spain. She might not know much about the goons showing up for the white collar boxing over in Spain but she knows the connection between the cartel and boxing only too well. Like we all do. Doing something about it is a different matter. All we can hope for is those that have the power also have the courage to do what needs to be done.
