Definitely not Taylor. If she goes pro it would be with one of the big promoters. Golden Boy, Sauerland, Top Rank etc.

I am interested to see who it is because quiet simply all the team that went to the Olympics are staying on for Rio. The money is way too good now for the Irish amateur boxing team to turn pro.

Had the pleasure of watching darren sutherland in 2 of his 4 pro fights. The lad had something special, but much like larrys PEDs, or Ray Hattons stealing of money we must not speak or discuss what happened.

p.s all of the aforementioned should include or be followed by the word "allegedly".

The way I understand it is that Hyde's a manager not a promoter, but it won't be Taylor because she's staying amateur until Rio.

Gary has also managed to get Levan 'The Wolf' Ghvamichava a contract with Top Rank. Gary let his other Cubans go so he could focus on Rigo and it has worked wonders so far. Gary is doing really well with quality and not quantity.

Yeah but sauerland aside where's the real demand for a top female boxer? I cant see golden boy or top rank being that interested to be honest.

To be honest no is interested really. Now with womens boxing in the Olympics and women in the UFC, womens pro boxing is going to die in the next few years. Sure Holly Holm has left to do MMA.

You are assuming the OP knows who the individual is. They don't. Hyde simply said he was signing someone big. He never said that it would be someone Irish.
