On the flip side of that there are people like me who 4 years in realise that there is no way that they could have set up on their own and been as successful in an industry that they had literally no experience in without the support of a well respected Franchisor. We get all the...

Agree and by the same token also important to get some confirmation around the conditions of renewal of the agreement, my franchisor had some things in there around performance which it was important to clarify in terms of how this would be measured and benchmarked.

Its 4 years ago now since I opened my Franchise but I used Nina Moran-Watson http://www.nmoran-watson.co.uk She seemed good and at a reasonable cost. I came to her after having a bad experience with another solicitor who charged me a fortune and advised me not to sign the agreement as it was...

Yes I was in the stadium for that as well. Incredible atmosphere and a genuine 'i can't believe this is happening' moment. Funny thing is I remember being not particularly fussed when I won the tickets in the ballot as I wanted to get one of the better known track races and didn't realise at...

Always been the same to some extent though hasn't it? Certainly since the likes of Don King took control of the sport, I remember for example the Bowe vs Lewis thing rumbling on for years and they of course never fought. We often harp back to the British hay day of fighters like Ben, Eubank and...

Not sure what the financial penalties would be of not doing the rematch but my concern would be that Al Haymon will do everything that he can to keep all the belts within the PBC. A potential undisputed heavyweight bout between Wilder and Ruiz would be a huge money spinner in the US and give...

Knowing Fury I doubt he would allow someone to speak on his behalf!

Hardly a journeyman he's 31-1 with his only loss coming by majority decision to Joseph Parker in New Zealand for the WBO world title in a fight which many people felt that he won. Nearly everyone thought AJ would win but anyone who knows anything about boxing knew this guy was a credible...

Its strange isn't it boxers are either totally rubbish or world beaters in many peoples eyes, there seems to be no in between. Clearly you don't win a olympic gold and the unified world championship by being rubbish regardless of what many people on here are now making after Joshua has suffered...

Its easy to look back now but all of Lewis's career defining fights against the likes of Tyson and Holyfield happened after he lost to McCall, who then refused the rematch and left Lewis having to rebuild. Lewis's planned super fight with Bowe was cancelled and at the time he seemed to be left...

No doubt its a big blow for Hearn but thats a very UK centric view of things. Under the DAZN deal matchroom have a bunch of current world champions including Oleksandr Usyk who is undisputed cruiserweight champion and considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.

Yes, why would that be a problem? A lot of boxers come from deprived backgrounds where drugs and violence are part of the territory. Taking PED's when you are a professional sportsman is a different story, in any other sport Fury would have been labelled as a 'drugs cheat' and his career would...

AJ has never tested positive for PED's.

He was, in the worlds biggest sporting fudge he received a back dated 2 year ban which he had already served with the time out of the ring due to his Mental breakdown. Hughie Fury who also tested positive received the same ban.

You mean to say that you missed that he tested positive for a banned steroid in 2015?

Exactly, and all of a sudden Tyson Fury is everybody's hero despite also taking PED's.

Surely every boxers career should be constructed to make as much Money as possible?! This is a classic example of what I am talking about, we create massively unrealistic expectations of our sportsmen and what they do in and out of the sporting arena. Wilder is the most protected fighter in...

Always something wrong with our best sportsmen isn't there? Either they are too media trained or always running off at the mouth to much! Rather than focusing on our sports peoples frailties it would be nice if we got behind them like other countries do and celebrate their achievements. After...

Got reckless trying to finish Ruiz and got tagged around the top of the head, never really recovered from it. I think he will learn a lot from that and come back stronger. Never understand all the haters in British sport, rather than get behind a guy who's won a Olympic Gold medal for his...

I do know a couple of people who own care businesses in and around Brighton though so if you get the puppy trained up let me know and I will ask around.
