McGuigan' s facing liquidation
Posted: 29 Dec 2023, 17:19
by bogan whisperer
The promotional company and gym set up by Barry McGuigan’s family looks set to be liquidated.
Both Cyclone Promotions and McGuigan’s Gym have filed a public notice indicating that meetings of creditors for both businesses will take place in London next week.
All that legal stuff with Frampton wouldn't have done them much good.

They are thieves. It’s in black and white. Who in their right mind would work with them?

I imagine many of the creditors are boxers, has Billiam-Smith been paid?

For a guy who demanded the Ali act and masqueraded as a fighter for fair boxers pay, he's a shady businessman
I was on Framptons side until he moved from the dodgy businessman to a complete gangster like Donkey Kong
Yeah of course he didn't charge any management fees, he gets his money peddling filth

I probably wrong, but I`d expect Shane to cover the running of the gym.
So what would there be a need for creditors to cover?
Boxing is without doubt a shady business of each trying to bleed the other dry of money. But I guess thats business in a nut-shell anyways.

It won’t affect Shane’s fighters as none of them are signed to Cyclone promotions.

I think CBS (and possibly other others) are managed by the McGuigans. I don’t know whether that’s through Cyclone Promotions though.

Yeah but if Shane gets paid top end, the fighter is then waiting to get paid.
Fighters don't often get paid directly, usually they are the last ones to receive the money.

Mr Mcguigan offered me a job many years ago.
Well when I say offered me a job he kind of did
Is his business still called Barrandra?

I don’t know about the business name. I followed a lot of the stuff with Frampton and what they were up to was despicable.
What job did he offer you?

Interesting, are you ok to share what the nature of the job was? And how did you find him?

McGuigan's are so contradictory. Come across so well but clearly so different behind the facade. It doesn't help however when their main critic has all the DK stuff amidst him.
I do hope CBS has been paid, he seems an intelligent person and I hope he has a lawyer/accountant who he trusts.
It is a bonkers sport with some of these characters isn't it. Imagine if Barry's union had taken off and he had the union subs to invest. His missus would have had gold pants.

When I was in corrosponance with Mr McGuigan I'm sure his company was call Barrandra Promotions.
Many years ago Barry was instrumental in forming a boxers union. I got talking to him over letters as email wasn't out then I don't think when he was trying to set up a union for boxers or maybe it was prior to me having a pc. Anyway through our corrosponance he offered me a position when the union was formed.
Years later I again had corrosponance with Mr McGuigan regarding a comment he made on TV, I don't remember the comment now but it was completely the reverse of a previous statement on the subject. We got into a bit of a argument and saw the other side.
That was that really

Back in the day Mr McGuigan was regarded a saint by bringing together people. He was a very respected person and lots of people including myself looked up to the guy and his achievements in boxing. Especially that bad night in Vegas. But I saw a completely different side when I discussed something he said on TV to a remark in the media. I went off the guy after that.

It sounds like you were one of the early people to see beyond the surface re Barry. I am glad you dodged that employment bullet mate.

I've never met Barry in person nor ever seen him at a pro boxing event. I only ever started to correspond when he was going to start a boxers union. Incidentally did it ever flower fruit?
