I simply will never understand how some fans diminish that achievement - its a massive plus to say you are a holder of that belt!!!Mooresy wrote:But i have no regrets. I've got a lonsdale belt.
Yes Steve's ok pal, busy as usual. Yes his Dad was a top man and he'll be missed by many mate.Spud wrote:Hey Moorsey,
How is Steve, its been a sad year for him in many ways - I used to love sitting next to his dad at many shows we used to go to - one in particular is the night when Carl Froch was fighting Alan Paige from your stable - I remember screaming for Frochy and Steve and his dad were obviously shouting for Alan - Steve and his Dad are 2 of the nicest people I met in boxing - just a shame I cant sit next to Steve's dad anymore.
How are the kids pal? - will you encourage them into sport.
punchers chance wrote:it annoys me when people put figures out about how much boxers earn - like 'he;s earned 50k for 3 minutes work' if they win in the first round. They forget all months of training that has gone into that fight and the years to even get to the title shots in the first place. then you have expenses, tax, managers, promoters and like Jamie said you've gone down to 40% of the gross figure anyway.
Most pros have to have another job and only the very top guys are truly full time - its not like football.
True, the elite can make incredible money but they are the exception.
I don't see anything wrong with a testimonial dinner. i'm sure it will be a good night out.
my pet hate!!!DINNaE LISTEN TO THE TOOLS JAMIEMooresy wrote:Your right spud, i never did. And as said before, even if i'd have earned £100k a fight, i would prob only see £40k of it, and then i was only boxing twice a year for the last 3 years coz of injuries. So when you look at it that way, you start to see how i might not have a lot of money. Thanks for the kind words spud, and i don't think people realise the little things that you've picked up on. I never asked ANYONE for the money for a glove i'd signed while i was fighting, if it was for charity or not. I paid for them myselfSpud wrote:I find it quite distasteful people resenting what is being done for Jamie Moore here!!!
People should think just for a minute that very very few boxers reach a level where they can earn purses lets just say over £50k - the sort of money where you can put a decent deposit on a house.
Jamie Moore didn't go begging for this testimonial/benefit night - the team around him which includes the best boxing manager in the business Steve Wood decided to put it on for him - if Jamie Moore is that respected and that highly thought of that people decide to thank him for his career in a cruel and harsh sport - then I say good luck to him!!!
Moore is one of them boxers who would do anything for you - he made a friend for life with me when he supported an army boxing evening - he got paid f*ck all for doing it and its not the first time him and his manager Steve Wood have supported events like this by attending or supplying signed gloves which were auctioned off or by simply presenting the prizes to the lads who thought the world of a professional boxing champion taking the time to shake their hands.
Moore is one ugly so and so
out of my own pocket. Even for the people who just knock on my door and ask me for one. But that's probably why i'm skint!!
Thanks pal. I'm doing personal training now fella, and I do boxing-cicuit classes in the evenings, plus I'm distributing CNP supplements to gyms, and I also have my VIP boxing equipment company too, so i've got plenty to keep me busy!! I'm getting a wage out of it so that's the main thing, keep the kids happy. I would have loved to train fighters but i'm just not in a position to do it, there's not enough money in it to keep me afloat. I've got 2 young kids and there my priority. It's a shame coz I think i'd have made a good trainer, but needs must ey.IRLangmaid25 wrote:Well I like to wish him a fantastic evening and all the best for the future, what would you like to do now you have hung the gloves up then?
Sounds pretty good and keep it up and the good thing you have a bit of stability with a consistent wage coming in now and it is important that you want to give your kids good stable platform for the rest of their life as well. So keep it up mate as it sounds very promisingMooresy wrote:Thanks pal.

Spud by what you are saying here I take it you are going to break a habit of a life time and buy a table or if not a least 2 tickets for this worthy event.Spud wrote:I find it quite distasteful people resenting what is being done for Jamie Moore here!!!

Moore is one ugly so and so :TU: but he is a credit to the sport!!! he will now probably train lads coming through just like Clinton Woods is - but the thing is he will get paid f*ck all for doing it and thus evenings like this testimonial are very much deserved.
Don't worry, he won't hold your Leeds United allegiance against you. After all, you haven't been relevant to United fans for about 10 years!!!LeedsLad wrote:Think I might go to this as well..... but he's a scummer isn't he?

Kids are great, enjoying there Daddy not being a grumpy b@stard coz he's knackered and starvin!!
Mikey's right into his footy, play's twice a week and is pretty good, but obviously he's into his boxing coz he's grew up around it, and he's got a right little dig on him! If he wants to get into it later on then i'd be ok with it, but i'd prefer him not to, i'd rather him get paid for playing football than getting hit in the face for a living. Having said that boxings been good to me and i had a ball for 10 years, so if that's what he wanted to do then i'd have no problem with it.
Olivia's gonna be a little actress by the look of it. She's a proper little drama queen....just like her mum!!
