And I was told, and I'd be a very senior figure in British boxing, that there are a lot of people within the sport at a professional level that are very nervous at where this investigation will go, how deep they'll go in going after the money trail and who got what, where and when and where that money came from.
You know, there's a number of boxing businesses
that had people involved at a high level who were very close to Kinna.
So I think they're nervous now and it will be interesting to see how this pans out for the sport.
No.
And, you know, just to go back to, you know, to mention the panorama thing again.
The reaction to that was very interesting in that the comments from people within boxing, there was nobody that was going public saying, oh, this is terrible.
We have to get rid of this man.
How is he involved in our sport?
Instead, they were all attacking Barry McGuigan because he had broken the omerta and spoken out against McGuigan or against Kinahan.
Like this morning, just for something I was working on, I drew up a list of people within boxing who have publicly praised Daniel Kinahan.
And it's quite a list.
You know, it's got so many former and current world champions, some of the most celebrated trainers, managers, promoters, et cetera.
And then I tried to do another list of people within boxing.
I've spoken out against Kiddend.
And you have Barry McGuigan.
And after that, you count them on the fingers of one hand.
They probably have a couple of fingers left over.
And it's not like I never bought his excuse.
They didn't know it or there was an Irish story or whatever.
