Re: Nathan Cleverly made $100k vs. Badou Jack

Re: Johnny Nelson

I like it when he sits backwards on his chair. Who the eff started that shite anyway? AJ? :doh: Max Kellerman does it on Face Off and seeing how Gloves Are Off is total rip off everyone has to do it there too. He is a knob but Floyd turned his chair round on one of them and sat on the chair like a ...

Re: Conor McGregor “Dublin Brawl”

Where does that British mentality of binge drinking etc come from, out of interest? Genuinely curious why it seems so different to other cultures. The only thing I've seen similar is when Scandinavians come to Liverpool for the football and have a skinful because it's so much cheaper than at home f...

This is terrible if you like a few sports. I'd want the football which they have nicely spread across three channels. Cricket, boxing and NFL. Which is potentially another three channels.

Re: Conor McGregor Winning-Would It Be The Greatest Upset In The History of Sports?

There's a lot of people who think Conor McGregor has a chance... Skip Brainless, who appears all the time with Stephan A Smith, states emphatically that Conor McGregor is the world's greatest fighter and has underrated boxing skills... If that clown can be so stupid, so can many millions of others....

Not really no. South Koreans tend to only get patriotic with sportsmen and women who are 100% South Korean in sports they like. Baseball players and soccer players rule the roost.

Be interesting how this is viewed in 25-30 years. "That did how many views Grandad ?".

Re: How much money should a pro boxer make enough to retire and how he should invest those money to live comfortably ?

It depends where they live, if they are supporting an extended family (parents, cousins etc), if they have ex wives and most importantly how they day to day spend.
