Gallaghers Gym Homeless

Post by Big-Beryl »

Heard that Joe Gallagher has been kicked out of Kerry Kayes' gym. Any truth to it?

Heard this about 3 weeks ago so if he hasn't yet, probably not.

When Mooresy took me round the gyms, we stopped off to see KK (very nice guy).
He told us then he'd already taken the keys off him and gave them to Joe Murray as he didnt want anything to do with Gallagher. He was definitely planning on throwing Gallagher out of the gym but wanted to wait for the big fights to be finished (i presume Macklin and Murray) as it wasn't fair on the lads.

I wouldn't be suprised if this was now true as he was adamant that he'd had enough of Gallagher

I get the impression that Joe G likes the limelight a bit?

I heard the same. Not a good vibe from all the other Manchester gym's towards Joe.
Apparently the whole winning streak for Joe was created by himself and not the media. He was hyping himself.
Again, never met the bloke so he might be alright

Yeah - I don't know him so I shouldn't have passed a comment, it was just my impression of him. Could be a great bloke.

Wonder where he is going to go if he leaves Kerry's place.

If he has been booted he's daft for burning bridges as Kerry pays for it all and Joe G doesn't even pay rent i believe?

The smith's are all on Twitter saying they're training today so not sure if they're out yet.

Joe is a good guy, works hard, loves boxing and his fighters and gym has a great family feel. Not too dissimilar to other good gyms.

He is well able to talk and has solid opinions so media types are usually more likely to give him a shout for an opinion because a. they know him and b. he knows how to play the media game and give them something to work with.

That is a little different then "seeking out limelight" - its the fighters that are the stars and that is what he talks about (apart from shoehorning in a Man U reference into every discussion)

Good guy, good trainer - I wish him good luck! Simples.

I don't think there's a lot wrong with that type of self-promotion. If you don't do it, who would? I often hear football managers talk about the kind of run they have been on, and Joe's fighters are his team so I think he's entitled to do the same. I've never met him personally and I have heard this kind of thing before so perhaps I'm naive on the subject, but I agree with Slap's intepretation.

I spoke to some of the lad's who live over there and they told me he's been kicked out of every gym in Manchester so I doubt he'll be welcome back any time soon.

I'd presumed/thought been told but may I've dreamt it, this was due to someone making a comeback, not Joe and KK falling out.

did you join for the sole purpose of having a pop at gallagher or was there another reason?

its not like there is a shortage of gym/mill space in east Manchester. I've a feeling he will be alright. :TU:

KK took the keys of Joe G a while back mate as they had a falling out, Joe Murray has been opening and closing according to KK

KK's gym has every bit of kit worth having, not to mention the infinite nutritional advice that Kerry gives out for free.

I don't know Joe so can't comment on him but I do know Kerry and he is one of the nicest guys in any sport so I imagine it must be a major thing for Kerry to do that.

I got exactly the same impression when I met KK as well. Top guy and only had the boxers interests in his mind as well so didn't let the fued ruin upcoming fights for the lads.

Both top blokes. Joe's always been happy to have a chat with me and is a decent guy. Only met Kerry once but he got his wife to make me a cuppa and was sound. Sometimes these relationships just run their course.

Why would I want to just have a pop at Gallagher? I'm simply relaying info that I've received>
