Comments Thread For: Boxing Might Not Be Able To Ignore Daniel Kinahan Issue

[DougalDylan]

He's hiding out in the Middle East and avoiding the police.

Even if they arrest him I suspect he'll still be money laundering etc from prison.

If they've got incriminating information on this guy, then they need to send it to the cops so that he can be arrested, then the matter can be decided in criminal court. Anything else is just a waste of everyone's time.

He says he grew up in an area where he had no playground to play in so he is angry against the middle classes and rich kids who had playgrounds to play in so he supplies them with all the drugs they need and want, its a supply and demand issue, where there is demand supply will follow. Is it his fault he has probably inherited his dad's psychotic genes?

To be fair he may or may not be more corrupt than the current crop we have in boxing but he is definitely more evil, i mean killing people just because they were seen at a funeral & then killing family members of that person in case they go for revenge etc, its evil stuff, they seem to have left women family members out tho, not sure if u can call that a plus for him

Super-duper PC sensitive corps are capable to cancel people just bcs some snowflake pretends to be offended, but they can't "cancel" this guy and people who are doing business with him?
Where's that super sensitive Disney's heiress now?! Not "what about the children" this time?

Are not Tyson Fury's father and uncle drug smugglers? But these guys can be completely trusted not to rig fights.

Boxing can’t do much, nothing he does in an official capacity he doesn’t hold any form of licence.

If boxers want to take advice from him or he mediates between camps to arrange fights on an informal basis what can boxing do to stop this?

Also, despite allegations, no crime whatsoever has been proven. You can’t penalise someone based on rumours!

We were getting weekly think pieces and thesis around Haymon money w/ W&R. We can afford to ask 3 years worth of questions about Danny boy.

Peter fury spent time inside for dealing coke in Manchester and rumour has it that he was heavily involved in trafficking although no longer of course. The fact the Furys know Kinahan is no great surprise. Crime connections with boxing is as old as the hills. Remember Ambrose Mendy being shot, Sonny Liston etc etc. If they want to resolve it they need to legislate boxing properly via an independent body and get rid of the multitude of governing bodies in the process. Unless they do that nothing will ever change.

I used to tend to side with boxers on most issues, but this one just proves how dumb, gullible and selfish a lot of them are (no big surprise there). They are basically saying, "I don't care if he is the leader of a gang that smuggles drugs that ruin families and that he orders the murders of other people, he makes me good money". That's basically it....They don't care so long as it's good for them. I hope those involved with Kinahan get what the deserve for selling their souls.

That's ******....it's like claiming Al Capone wasn't a gangster because he was only prosecuted for tax evasion.

Logic fallacies abound in your statement.

First of all, you are assuming too much in your analogy. In the eyes of the law, Capone was not a gangster because not prove it in a court of law. Hw was a tax evader because that was proven. History shows him as a gangster, but he was never convicted in his lifetime. So, no, he was not ever convicted. In America, there is "Guilty" and "Not Guilty" in the courts because innocence is assumed.

As for this story,, your analogy does not even apply. Capone was convicted on tax evasion and suspected of being in charge of a mafia ring. A better analogy is that Capone's son Albert is defiantly a gangster and a tax evader because his dad was and they are related and keep the same friends. Capone's son Albert was NOT a gangster and never suspected of avoiding taxes, so your analogy is silly.


Prove it or quit assuming he is guilty.

The defining silence from some well known Irish boxers right now is very telling.
