if maloney's fighter was earning a fiver he'd take 4 squid :!: the man is ruthless he'd sell his own mum :!: but apart from the latvian lemmings maloney does find out if his boys can have it. obviously heavyweights are shy & there aint much comp & you cant blame him, he's shifted the ball in the bbbofc court & they have to start demanding eliminators etc.

also i see maloney getting dry humped by some 6ft mongrel looking poodle last sunday

I hope you can prove your quote on here about the money Maloney takes from his fighters and it was an Airedale show how much you know about dogs my friend.

it was a tongue in cheek comment , nothing more.maloney's shows are allway's great value as he dont shell out for survivors & does match ticket sellers against one another.
& thank's for letting me know he was getting humped by an airedale D
frank is a lovelly,lovelly,geeza

so did you meet ian on here or you knew him in the 'real world'? ha

he pmd me after a preview i did and posted on here ...but have met Ian many times over the years and consider him a friend.
no nonsense down to earth straight down the line chap

I have to concur with the 'J' man here.

I have covered a couple of shows in Hougton-Le-Spring promoted by Maloney, working for Boxrec and I have to say Maloney has come across very well, and has taken a little time to have a bit crack with someone like me who is essentially a fan lucky enough to have been given what is basically journalistic access to shows.

Bearing in mind one of these shows was a World title fight (Booth v Molitor) and there were loads of established journos like Ron Lewis and James Lawton I was treated no differently and Maloney took time to talk to everyone.

Again speak as I find, Maloney comes across as being down to earth and his shows are decent.

He is also promoting in the North East which can only be a good thing.

As for McNeilly???

He seems ok even for a smoggie

This argument always makes me wince. Pound for pound, smaller men hit just as hard if not harder than talentless, overweight, overrated heavyweights. They are simply better fighters.

Not just the heavys, Joe Hughes who I was matched to box stopped his man in the first . What I mean is a lot of lemmings get stopped in their first 5 & are called journeymen. I'm a light welter & them boys can hit. I walk about at 10, 2 so I ain't a big man, I know what its like to get hit, I'm well qualified to add my peice, you? Get of your high horse plank!

Ill always hate maloney for that day in early 1997. when as a excited 20 year old i picked up the london standard rag in my college on regents street and read lennox was doing a booksigning in waterstones on oxford street. Me and fat NAz my 19 stone buddy ran to the store. It was damn near empty 10-11 people in there, we picked up a book and pretended to buy it so we could pretend to get it sighned and meet Lennox. Maloney picked on me when I asked to be able to take a photo with lennox and lewis himself wasnt exactly mr charisma he was almost asleep. To compound it the damn photo the fat bastard naz took turned out to be a dud on the disposable camera. Ill always blame maloney for rushing naz so the guys fat hands shook and he messed it up. Maloney was on our case saying no photos to two kids.

I had a mate at Uni called Fat Baz who occasionally worked the door at York Hall in the mid to late 90's. Through him I met Paul Scap Iron Ryan and asked for a photo. Fat Baz also had trouble with his fat fingers and covered the lens when we had our photo taken. I went to Boots the next day for the 1 hr service only to find the fat pudendum ruined my photo. Gutted!!!! Fat Baz, Fat Naz, obviously useless!! DD DD DD

In proportion though a 17/18st man hitting another 17/18st man is/has the same affects as a 10st man hitting another 10st man if you want to compare it like that. You obviously dont have a real understanding of boxing. By you asking a question to a 10st man if he has ever been hit by a 17/18st man is like asking a 17/18st man if he has been hit by a 30st man? Absolutely pointless statement. I wont be so rude and say you come across as a knob jockey so I will just put it down to ignorance and naivety

Well said des1, the guy does talk pony!

For the record the truth, I get hit with 8oz gloves by boys that are fitter, stronger pound for pound & actually throw more than two shots a round. Is say judgeing by your post , when it comes to boxing, you don't know your arse from your elbow!
