What I or anyone else says on these boards has zero influence of any substance, it is just an entertaining diversion. I hope nobody is posting 24/7 thinking they can influence anything.

Although it remains to be seen if that will happen or not. In reality they are probably delighted they couldn't get in to power because the state of the country is very different to what it was last Feb. Difficult and unpopular decisions will have to be made over the next few years to get things back on track.

jh79 wrote: » How did that change things, DK has been involved in boxing for nearly a decade. He was involved when Conlan and Barnes signed for them. So why is MLD suddenly concerned now about his involvement ?
FrancieBrady wrote: » Why is Leo all of a sudden concerned? Was he admonishing individual boxers and trying to implicate them in involvement with the alleged crimes of their bosses? You couldn't support or praise most pro boxers in history if that was the case. I'd fancy your problem with Conlan is his very evident northern republican background.
jh79 wrote: » Where in any of my posts do i say i have a problem with Conlan? My issue here is with MLD and SF. Can you explain the differences between the Conlan fight and the proposed Fury fight?
FrancieBrady wrote: » Does she know Conlan personally maybe? Is Conlan an Irish fighter maybe? You can have an issue with a fighter management and still admire and support the fighter you know. Has happened multiple times in boxing.
jh79 wrote: » This is what she said in the papers yesterday about DK. "The future of Irish boxing and of our communities behoves us to resist the clutches of the Kinahans in the strongest possible terms." SF in NI gave him full VIP treatment, lots of pics of him with Pat Finucane etc. Hardly resisting in the strongest possible terms.
FrancieBrady wrote: » Everybody is now saying that. Where they saying it when Conlan fought Nikitin? No they weren't...BBC, Eir Sports all happy to cover and promote the fight. Nobody else condemning them...interceding with royal families to ask them to reassess... etc etc. The situation has changed...politicians have reacted.
jh79 wrote: » Outside of Ireland, DK isn't well known but in Ireland everyone knew and given that he and the rest of MTK were banned from fighting in the Republic prior to the Nikitin fight, SF can't use that excuse.
