Fair play to Audley, lets hope it raises a decent amount

Well done Audley.

On a seperate matter, from the article:

However, following Mr Harrison’s triumph in the inaugural three-minute three-round showpiece, the one-time Olympic gold medallist decided to show his support to the family.

Well, before you say that, don't forget he's got to put food on his own table. That prize money is his wage.

[Poncey]

1 its probably more than what he'll get for the trophy, the man does have millions im not saying he doesnt deservethe prizemoney just its not that much to him and would benifit the charity more than say the 10K he'll get for the trophy

Audleys other option was to not mention the Sprott family at all and not donate anything, praise him for what he did do don't slag him for what he didn't

He does not have millions. Where did you get that from?

[Adamj1987]

his big fat contract with the BBC, he was well paid by warren for the williams/skelton/sprott fights, all his sponsor deals when he turned pro

i didnt i just said that would have been better

Not often you'll see the words 'classy' and 'Audley' in the same sentence, but I was surprised by this gesture.

He probably is, or was just about a millionaire.

The contract from the BBC was for one million, but that would have had to have paid for trainers, sparring partners etc as well as paying his wages.

£1.73 !!!!!!

come on baby, come on!! fingers crossed you're coming home with me!

[caffrey]

is audley a millionaire ? im not so sure about that

[Roars Like Me]

Good on him - you could also see it as Audley knows who would have won if Sprott stayed in D

ive out bid you by 7p trophys mine

[jamesmcdonnell]

He had some good sponsorship deals when he turned pro, it's conceivable that he might have a million left in the bank.

He bought a house in Las Vegas - but that won't have cost much probably - because Vegas is cheap as chips.

This pre-pf article had him talking about his money situation.

I think him donating the trophy was linked to the tragic loss of his own brother this year (or perhaps it was last year), he probably knows what Sprott is going through more than most do. A very decent gesture in my book!
