I don't think that Daniel Kinihan has actually been convicted of anything but that dent mean he isn't at the heart of it though lol

I hope that there is nothing untoward with MTK promotions as they certainly putting on lots of shows in Scotland, lets see how MTK Scotland performs over the next few years and hopefully all of the badness associated with the MGM/MTK brand can go away with time. Maybe this is Daniel Kinihans way to go legit? The problem with that I suppose is that you open yourself to the likes of the attack in Ireland and the trouble near the gym in Marbella
We have folk up here that haven't been convicted of anything. They're still as dodgy as fukk! I know several people that have various business interests and they have never even been approached by the cops! I've worked for a few of them and the money that goes through these places is on another level. Lazy policing. There's certain people the dogs on the street know are crooked but our police seem to turn a blind eye? It's all money!


The only reason the cops are cracking down is because of the shootings. They didn't have a problem before all that. It's not just the hotel shooting but there have been several other shootings which happened afterwards.

I'm no angel myself so I'm not complaining but there are fuckin stacks of folk that the police must know are at it! Sometimes there's no need for an investigation. It's plain as day!
'would the prosecution like to begin their arguments?'

'thank you m'lud. he's guilty your honour, everybody knows it. Prosecution rests, m'lud'

Judge: :-?

EU rules will get this overturned, i am sure of it.

I personally have no problems with upstanding folks like Kinahan running boxing, what could possibly go wrong?

yeah, just imagine a world without IFL, how would we all cope?

off-topic: 'Mack The Knife' Promotions is the worst fucken promotional name EVER. its stupid. the song mack the Knife is about 60 years old and nobody EVER referred to Macklin as 'mack the fucken knife' anyway. which is a good thing, it was a crap nickname.
yeah that name always kind of puzzled me, annoyed me, even.

As far as I know from speaking to Paul, nobody asked him to put the bid in. He thought he had a chance and went for it.

No idea on the amount involved (don't like asking these things) and he's still looking at venues. He had suggested on Facebook (as a wind up) that he might go to the Fauldhouse Miner's or the Cleland Club!!

Bloody hell there's a name I haven't thought of in two or three decades

John Breen. If you read his comments in the interview you'll know what I mean ;-)

Yeah I guessed you meant John Breen. :OhYes:

I suspect John, having lived in Belfast during the 70's/80's won't be intimidated in the slightest by those alleged to be involved in MTK!

So you're saying Jamie's explanation "some Russians and Ukrainians were feuding at the time and the police said I look like I'm from one of those countries" isn't true :lol: :lol:
