I've missed this. There's a benefit dinner for him advertised on the matchroom website. What's it all about? cheers.

He suffered a serious eye injury in the Bundu fight I presume thats why......

He made a shed load of money in 2013 didn't he? 100K for the Alexander fight alone. I know that was a year and a half ago but still...
Or am I misunderstanding the nature of a benefit dinner? Apologies if I am and no offence meant to Lee.

I don't see any problem with this, footballers that on 100k per week has Testamonial Matches get all the gate etc...

100k take away tax (40% on 60k of it) so roughly 32k to taxman, trainers fees promoters fees, expenses. Soon eats away .

Most, especially at the top level, give all the money to charity.
