    Yeah

    Also, do you know of Marvin Herbert? He’s one of Kinahan’s gophers and I saw an interview with him once and he was talking about a meeting between two drug cartels or whatever you wanna call them, about money owed between them and he said Peter Fury was the mediator for the meeting.

    So I think the Fury family ties to that world and those particular people may go beyond boxing, who knows. Peter Fury was a big time dealer in the north west, operating a huge drugs ring.

        Fury, Kinahan and their criminal family and associates need to be very careful before things get ugly for them. It’s already trending in UK national news that the BBC investigative team have received threats since the show was aired, and if they’re not careful they could find themselves added to the endless list of people getting cancelled.

        Hopefully his empire comes crumbling down once the idiot fanboys realize he is robbing them with his non-PPV PPV shows.

          I get its probably a money laundering situation or thats the rumor anyway, but why are so many high profile boxers getting involved if the loud whisper is this guy ain't on the up & up & when this goes south, assuming it does, you're likely gonna have a court appearance or two due to your dealings with him.
          I would like to know that too, esp. US fighters.

            They take 15% rather than the standard 25% and have a reputation for making sure fighters are paid and not taken advantage of. So that's pretty attractive I guess. It does raise more questions about their business practices though and how sustainable it is - for example Carl Frampton does not pay them at all for their services.

            Regarding the threat to the BBC team, it's strange. The threat has came from here, Northern Ireland. The Kinahans aren't involved with our paramilitaries as far as we know and they are who usually make the credible death threats that result in relocation. Maybe it's just reported as that as the reporter lives here. Just found it strange.

              They pay well and look after their fighters!

              However they don’t really make any money on their shows so I think all the money comes from criminality

              Good way to wash that drug money

                    Look at this damn fool lol. Instead of focusing on the fighters that choose to be managed/advised by this crime lord (Fury), or the promoters most involved with him (Warren/Arum), you single out one promoter simply acting on behalf of his own fighter to make the biggest fight in boxing. Your blind hatred of Hearn is destroying your brain my friend.

                      Yea thats a weird new development with the US fighters. It was a strictly UK thing for quite awhile, but seeing JoJo Diaz sign with them recently & wondering wut in the fook is that about.
