I’m proud to say I have no idea what Manga is. I presume they’re trying to attract children and incels with the video game stuff

what is your idea of grass roots boxing? riyadh season novice amateur shows? paying for gym equipment?

his job is to put on big events to be fair, its not really glaring that he wouldnt spend money on the lowest levels. local communities should do more for that.
As a big time promoter all you really have to do to keep that going is say your Main Event is a Light Heavyweight Title fight. On the undercard or on a few of your other cards in the next few months, have some other Top 10-15 Light Heavyweights fight on your card, and boom, you've got your next opponent for the Champion lined up.

That's really all it takes to keep the big fights coming.

I'd think there'll always be local promotions to build them up through their early fights. If not he may have to hire a guy who's focus is strictly on Prospects, and keeping an eye out for Upcoming Talent.

Right wing video gamers who want politics kept out of their Call of Duty games about invading vaguely defined Middle Eastern nations

He reinvests, Jesus christ, he has an ocean of oil money, Daniel Kinahan invested in his fighters with drug money, and they all wouldn't say a word again at him, now they deny they ever knew him , because their money was being threatened

Remember the MTK "Boycott Irish Media" campaign that Ifl TV and the rest were always promoting

In other words, stop questioning Daniel Kinahans history of murder and being the head of an international drugs syndicate , he pays his fighters!! The manager Carl Frampton, with no management fees!! How generous, wonder why they could afford it pro bono, goodness of their hearts I assume

Jamie Moore got the gig training Frampton as payment for being shot as he stood next to Daniel Kinahan, Macklin let them use his name FFS!!! I thought these lads were all sound working class but it seems like money and status can seduce pretty much anyone

Yes he owns Ring Magazine and a non controlling (for now) chunk of DAZN.

I remember that IFL campaign, was so embarrassing. Jamie did well for getting shot, didn't he get £250k as well?
