    The BBC said their programme “investigates the murky world behind the glamour of the big fights and the suspected gangster who has been welcomed to boxing’s top table”.

    It added: “How did he become involved in setting up Britain’s biggest ever bout – the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world?” Kinahan is based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where he has built his profile as a boxing promoter in the past 15 years.

    This will be interesting this evening .

    Will watch it but dont expect to find out anything that isnt known already. Kinahan himself wont be too happy about it being screened thats for sure. International drug traffickers are supposed to stay under the radar yet his ego keeps bringing more and more heat on himself.

    Fascinating viewing. Many many questions.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    He is definitely going to find it a lot harder to get his fighters on big shows now.

    Why would he regret it?Carl was spured by Daniel/the company to take the case against him.

    Barry's just upset over Frampton, he's not angel himself.




  • Everything Frampton has been saying in the media is clear as daylight now.

    What little cretin he is.

    The McGuigans and their wives and extended family certainly enjoyed themselves booking all their expenses on Framptons money

    Just watched the BBC panorama documentary, very informative, well done.

    Barry Mc Guigan was brave to come forward and give his opinions.

    No expense spared in the making of this documentary , Ireland, Spain, Dubai, USA.

    What's interesting is the Kinahan Cartell are under investigation for money laundering in the U.S.

    The Americans will leave no stone un-turned and the Irish authorities putting pressure on the U.A.E./Dubai authorities to revoke D. Kinahans visa.

    If he is kicked out of Dubai where does he go then?


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,663 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    A good summary of the situation but no new information really. Interesting though that the Gardai said they are actively trying to get Dubai to kick him out. Was disappointing though that the journalist McIntyre didnt go to Dubai to doorstep Daniel and at least attempt to ask him some questions, these type of docs usually end with an attempt to question the subject even if they dont want it.

    Watched it and whilst not a bit surprising, pretty shocking stuff. Paul "Thugs" Williams will not be pleased at not being featured (that was a blessing)

    The Frampton angle was curious as too was the sudden settlement of his case against Barry, more questions than answers really. Not a good look for professional boxing but then again did it ever have a good look, Don King comes to mind

    Boxing is full of criminals.

    In other breaking news, apparently sewers are full of sh!t.

    Thailand with visa runs every so often to some neighboring country like lots of other Irish people who are wanted here.

    How come none of the reporters go to where he is In Duabi and at least photograph him , they use the same pics of him for last few years

    Is it illegal for reporters to approach people in dubai ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,465 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Frank Warren has been around that game a long time. Remember he got plugged himself.

    Boxing was huge and could command a semi respectable image 30 or 40 years ago, it's all been very low rent for decades now.

    Privacy laws usually and then there is the whole finding him issue.

    Also, fresh pics are not easy to get and if it’s a staffer that got the image, they don’t have to pay for repeat usage.
    Fresh usage = fresh payout to photographer.

    Everyone knows that it was a former world champion boxer that tried to shoot him including Frank,but Frank would not tell,stuck by the gangster code.

    I don't think it would be wise for a journalist to travel to Dubai to confront DK.

    nicola tallant said a few months ago on the last stand that kinahen is holed up in dubai in a compound with ex special services guys protecting him. the monk would kill him if anyone knew where he was and you want a journalist to fly to one of the most corrupt countries and try and find him and knock on the compound door is it. i dont think so. they did as good as a job as they could imo.

    Yeah,he certainly has had that
    Always has a court case going with authoritys

    Was banned from Warren boxing events and got into one dressed as a bumblebee or something and got a bad beating when it was discovered it was him

    Also tried a run at politics

    Warrens lawyer was with him when he was shot but couldnt id him either lolz

    Most promoters were involved in gangsterism to some extent and ripping of their fighters was their main racket
