Lol not quite mick sam had 20 fights on sky and all 7 of his losses were on there.True he got put into the away corner for the last 3 or 4 fights but if they would have got rid of him after two losses. We would never have seen him win British commonwealth european or any of the international titles he won.mickey1975 wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 15:16I saw it. Hype... got rid after two losses!

Cant really say a bad word about Barry hes a top bloke and made sure sam was always in a good position sometimes when he didnt even deserve it. He payed for sam and a few of us to spend 2 weeks in vegas training with mike mcallum ,Sam was one of the few current fighters invited along to barrys big 70th birthday bash and he also went out of his way to get sam some really good sponsors so he could train full time.Its still a business and thats how you have to see it but barry always went above and beyond where sam was concerned.mickey1975 wrote: ↑20 Apr 2021, 16:45I know, bad word selection.
