Comments Thread For: Daniel Kinahan Addresses BBC Documentary, Denies Any Involvement In Criminal Activity

[deathofaclown]

There hasn't been any provable organized crime involvement in American boxing since the early 90's. The height of mob involvement in American boxing came in the 60's. We've done a good job rooting out organized crime. The mob of today has nowhere near the power it once had and I'm not speaking just about boxing. Rudy Giuliani crushed the mob in the 80's

Provable being the key word

If we go by provable, then Kinahan is innocent. Never been found guilty.

The mob still exists in a different form. they’re just more corporate now. Most of their kids got good educations and now running scams in the corporate world. Probably moved on from boxing.

Then after you've washed the money you stop doing illegal activities if you've got any sense. Didn't guys like Jay Z and 50 cent use to be drug dealers then go legit?

They wasn't kingpins. Kingpins can't leave the game. Too many mouths to feed. I'm not just talking about mouths within his organization. Your supplier ain't letting you leave the game. That dope is fronted you got debts to pay and even if you get to the point where you can pay outright you still indebted to your supplier for getting you to that point. Who gonna replace that income? They're not letting you get to that point then go clean, especially when you know all their business. They'll extort him. You can't get out at his level

The Irish government feels they have provable evidence that's why they're trying to get him extradited. I don't know of anyone in American boxing in the same predicament. Do you?

Britain has some of the harshest libel laws in the world. Where's the writ?

[Gideon lock]

Kinahan has a boss he's just the decoy.

[adotd]

I don’t understand this world we live in. The Rap music industry LITERALLY focuses on embracing crime. Is that not organized? If Senators actually cares to help the youth they’d ban rap music as it serves no purpose. Lol.

If Kinahan is a gangsta then so was Mr. Rogers

I wish they'd ban gangster films and programs too. They all glamorise gangs, Godfather, Scarface, etc. I'm with you buddy, they serve no purpose either.

Exactly ,boxing and the mob are like Peaches and cream.Don King was kicking people to death in the 60s.The BBC must have some reason to be going after this guy,since they had no problem with kiddy fiddlers running a ring out of their organisation.

They seem to have it in for Fury and spent a large chunk of the doc making links between the two for both reason. He snubbed them after they snubbed him.

[Lance98]

Ofcourse he is linked to organised crime and in a big way. But organised crime has run this sport for a long long time so we don't need to pretend this is thing run by angels which is looking to expel a bad apple.

You are talking about the past. It isn't this bad now so daniel kinahan sticks out like a sore thumb. Where is this organised crime thing involving other promoters and managers that you know of that involves drugs and deaths?

[aaronbnb]

if he were innocent, he'd criticize the gangs or say making money from drugs/guns etc is wrong. where's there smoke, there's fire.

[Pretty Boy32]

If Kinahan's alleged crimes are so cut and dry, why hasn't he been charged and convicted?

He's supposed to be the biggest drug smuggler in Europe, why don't they just RICO him or summat?

I grew up 10 mins from his family. He’s about 15-20 years older than me but I do recall seeing him around the city when I was much younger.

The allegations are most certainly true. He’s hiding in Dubai because he would be arrested in Ireland, the DEA are also now on his ass.

The issue with DK is his ego. He wiped out a family here in Dublin called the “hutches.” I can’t begin to tell you how bad DK and MTK are.
