Will Sky go for a range of promoters? Or just dive in with one?

meaning of corporate sabotage

Corporate sabotage involves deliberate actions to harm a company's operations, reputation, or competitive advantage, often through illegal or unethical means such as information theft or physical damage. It is closely related to corporate or industrial espionage, which focuses on gathering sensitive information.

I can guess what is that mate - but who are you referring to? Come on spill it.

So basically two other names besides John W will be getting pulled into this.

I am genuinely concerned for your mental health.

You're showing clear signs of manic behaviour - dormant periods alternating with back to back to back maniacal conspiracy posts and desperately portraying as an insider.

You already wrote long giant posts recently explaining your Parkinson's diagnosis and how you recently just decided you were going to try and be someone in boxing.

You yourself said you had no idea about Sky contract or any of this until you started on your mission to "become someone in boxing" and the sky contract seemed like the most interesting topic on the table.

This is all in your post history for anyone who wants to check it.

You also wrote that you met Ben Shalom at a funeral. Since then you've been frantically shilling for Boxxer non stop, presumably as he's the only promoter who's given you the time of day and now in your mania you are clinging on to the hope that boxxer is your pathway to "becoming someone in boxing".

Since then it's just been weeks and weeks of unhinged posts about subjects you know nothing about, and have yourself admitted you knew nothing about until recently.

You said you've got four offers on the table that you are "considering". Where's that up to? Which promotion will you be becoming a boxing industry professional with?

None of this is going to happen mate. You are spinning yourself up into a mania which is all going to come crashing down. There is no insider status to be had. Nobody is taking you on in any capacity. None of the bits of hearsay you are mindlessly parroting mean anything. It is all a giant nothing.

You were completely blindsided when Dubois was announced as leaving Boxxer. You will be blindsided again when Price goes. You'll be blindsided by each departure after that, because nobody is actually telling you anything real.

You're showing textbook signs of manic behaviour. Could be from medication, drink or drugs, could be inherent. But your posting pattern has hallmark signs. Speak to your GP.

The agenda is getting you to get help. The sooner you stop this manic behaviour, the more manageable the crash is going to be.

You don't know anything. You are a Walter Mitty bullshitter lol. You literally, literally don't know a thing 😅

You got the time of day from one promoter and now you're manically flying the flag for them. You're going to end up looking an absolute fool as more fighters leave and then the BBC don't renew.

Hi John. I don't have a dog in this fight - and have seen Spud fall out with numerous people over the years in this vein.

I just did want to say, however, that I don't think Spud wants to become someone in boxing in terms of being a big-shot.

I can't speak for him (we haven't spoken one-to-one for 20 years probably) but I am guessing he just wants to be back involved in ways he was before. Spud was/is a grafter if nothing else and when he worked for the company I was involved in would turn his hand to anything, from driving and putting stickers on seats, to shifting hundreds of tickets through the army.

Oh and he definitely isn't manic - he has always been like this :-)

Ah fair enough then, I'll take your word for it. I am only going off what I've read of his posts in recent months and weeks. But obviously I am not familiar with him like you are so I'll defer to you.

Like I've said before, he seems well liked around here so no hard feelings or anything, just some of the posts are a bit mad, running me down as a "spineless rat" and demanding my phone number etc for disagreeing with him.

I'll see can I find a way to pop him on mute.

You’re equally slippery, John. You clearly find it easier to take the p1ss and swerve Spud, but appear to lack substance and credibility behind those polished words.

You’re excessively patronising with zero backbone. Other than that, please continue with the self-righteousness so others can draw the same conclusions. Takes a lot for me to come out of retirement these days, so much kudos.
