He only went and set himself up off his own bat as far as I can make out. I wonder if he has a day job or a profession as he’s an articulate guy...surprised he doesn’t have a persona on here actually.
His style is nice and personable, no airs or graces and for instance was very delicate and sympathetic with that middleweight who got beat last week.
Only time he let himself down for me was once or twice with Fury where he indulged the boxer for far too long as he directed various abuse and profanities. And I’m a Fury fan the rest of time.

Mick Goodhall seems like a good guy to me. I think he must be a good cog to have in your wheel. Bags of experience too.

He was part of team Hatton originally wasn't he? Wasn't he Ricky's security? I expect from that he had some ins?

Yeah he was mate, I read about that in Ricky's 'Vegas Tales' book, there's a hilarious story he tells that involves Kugan & Floyd Mayweather Sr

Would you like to have the £$$ of a promoter and all those headaches? Like them or loath them, they do work hard and must have a challenging role?

Would you like to be a trainer, struggle with making ends meet some days then your next world champ walks through the door meaning you get paid some decent purses for a few fights until they leave you?

Perhaps a cuts man, not too involved to worry about the politics but still well inside the boxing world to know what goes on?

So what job would you like to do which involved being within the boxing world apart from being a fighter?

(For the recrod, Michael Buffer has my dream job)

Assuming it is an actual business where they offset the costs, love to see what the bottom line is before tax and salary.

Buffer's a cool guy to be around and not at all precious, IMO the only ring announcer who will ever be a celebrity, thanks in a big part to the phrase. Even non boxing fans know who he is

Mike Goodall is one of the hardest working men in boxing. Work outs, press conferences, weigh ins, fight nights, there he is, setting up the ring, stage, backdrop, PA system etc. Always first to arrive, last to leave then in the van & off to the next one. Drives everywhere, even down to Monaco on occasion.

Not just blowing smoke up your arse Craig but IMO your the best in this country mate
