And what he's saying there is, you know, MGM look after, you know, managing me, arranging fights, things like that, publicity, but they're not my trainers.

So he's making this kind of distinction.

But,

He goes further in a later interview with the Sunday Business Post and he says that he has no issue with Daniel Kinnahan sitting in his corner for his professional debut because Daniel Kinnahan is still appearing in the rings at this stage.

And he says, you're telling me about the Kinnahans.

I don't know anything about the Kinnahans.

I only know Matthew Macklin.

But what has Daniel Kinnahan been convicted of?

Yes, and the company, the renamed company, experiences a major boost when Michael Conlon wins his Paddy's Day bout in New York.

I think he's walked into the bout by Conor McGregor.

There's a huge fanfare and even just McGregor being there gives it this huge publicity in the US.

And I suppose it's kind of a point of arrival for the company at that stage.

Kenan, is it there or certainly isn't pictured at that stage?

There's now a hundred or so boxers are training at state-of-the-art gyms and they're being treated with incredible, they're getting an incredible treatment, they're being fed by private chefs, they're being paid wages, which many boxers aren't of course, they just get a cut of whatever.

You know, proceeds come from their fights.

So the wages is a big thing.

And Kenan is still continuing, of course, with his other business.

Yeah, he was a write-off effectively as a boxer.

But it was a gamble by Daniel Kinnan.

But it really paid off because we're talking about big Irish boxers like Paddy Barnes and Michael Condon.
