I understand he has to what's best for him, but what about Dennis? I would be suprised if he carried on after this. What's the point?

[thepocketrocket]

Didn't Dennis sh!t away a load of cash getting him the home shot for a world title?

if he's dumped him like that he's a wanker

Yes, he said money comes and goes, memories last forever... I guess the memories are tainted now. Lost money promoting Ricky, too, before been dropped.

Yeah, he does seem to be on the end of the shaft more than his fair share

[Counter-puncher]

bugger me. 'if you want loyalty.....' quotes notwithstanding, that must feel galling to Hobson (who, incidentally, comes across very well whenever i have seen him interviewed)

I bet he used to think the scrap metal game was rough and had some chancers about; that lad had things set up well for him and Hobson was making him into a local hero - 'someone' must be doing an awful lot of buttering up behind the scenes.

I wonder who........

[stevieb_8006]

I kind of hope McDonnell loses in his next fight now ungrateful twat

Boxing is a short career and dangers are very real. It's a business and you can't just stick with someone out of pure loyalty. Yes Hobson got him a title shot over here, he's not promoted him though has he. No one knows who he is despite being world champion. Hobson signed a deal with allegedly not McDonnell. Notice there were no comments from Jamie in the press release. They wanted him to defend against Matty Hall. Again hardly going to get him exposure tucked away on allegedly in a defence like that. Tough decisions have to be made in boxing sometimes

Under Hobson, McDonnell won the British, Commonwealth, European and World title, with the world title costing Dennis a fortune. Lets see if he gets hometown advantage for his next world title fight.

No just the only one that doesn't want to hang McDonnell for doing what's best for his career it seems. Hobson did a shocking job with him

It must have been a tough decision for Dennis Hobson to fork out 10's of thousands to get Jamie a hometown World Title fight - as Doncaster had never had one before - knowing it would lose money. It must have been hard for him to take Jamie on when he wasn't training right and going on the piss every week.

How exactly when he didnt have a tv deal? How many promoters with no significant tv deal that you know of would of got McDonnell the opportunities he has? Particularily a world title fight in front of his home town crowd! There's absolutely none.

I think Superheavy was asking a rhetorical question
