Have Hermey and Jeff left the country with their stable or something?

Some of their fighters put up some decent scraps on friday night fights.

Someone picked up the phone put them in to immigration. They had blokes sleeping in the garage and were taking 50 percent there purse. When a fighter first came over from the philipines he didn't receive any of his purse until his air fares and lodgins wher paid. Then he was moved onto the 50 percent package which was sleep in the freezing cold garage and eat a bowl of rice 3 meals a day. Still in court with some of there fighters. These blokes where fighting every fortnight for a minimum of $1200. $300 a week to sleep in garage.

Good wrought, gives me an idea, Hmmmmm...........

irony, before you crucify me, irony, people.

That's horrible. I've heard similar stories of it happening in New Zealand with Fijian rugby players.

Damn, sounds rough.

I think it was Dido Bohol that used & abused them for sake of his income and satisfy his visa requirement

What visa? Dido is a naturalised Australian.

That's right Brute. Dido is also not licensed to work a corner in NSW because of a stunt in the nineties where he used nail polish to close a cut.

There should be very 'special' treatment dished out by the authorities to perpetrators of this sort of treatment of fellow human beings.

The Bohol stable saved Aussie boxing from extinsion, with out them Aussie boxing would be in the s##t. Thankfully now we have Aussies fighting Aussies & lets face it a lot off thoughts bouts are boys from the ex Bohol gyms. Credit where cridit is due.

Yeah, Thai agent Tassanu also helped Aussie boxing from extinction & from time to time still does...particularly with Regional title fights. Yep! Credit where credit is due
