Like I said, I am a big boxing fan and would love to ensure he has a opportunity to fulfill his potential. He could be the next great African fighter! One thing, though. I've had issues with Western Union in the past and the fee to send $6,000 would be quite a bit. I would be more comfortable just depositing into a bank account. If you could provide me with bank information as to where to deposit it, I would much appreciate it. I can have the money into the account by Saturday.
