Still coping with the big words thanks minerve.

The divided EU still hasn't realised that the political realities have changed


Britain can and will walk away without a deal this time

As long as they both walk out of the ring at the end, there are no losers.

Tyson Fury and Wilder, neither would live with Mike Tyson at his peak, or for that matter many others at their peak, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier were far better fighters, then you have Ali who at his peak would have beaten these clowns with one arm.

My opinion is that Wilder will knock out the big pikey! Round 6

Depends on the nature of the defeat Diku but a trilogy would probably be easier to make as both have American promoters in Dibela & Bob Arum, Fury is also contracted to one more fight after this one with Arum (who's a lawyer).

If he loses then will there be a rematch...more money on the table...for the boxer, sponsors, promoters, Managers, Agents etc etc...

[utrickytrees] 22/2/2020 17:13

We will have to wait and see Diku. Wilder has put his WBC belt on the line but I take your point when such sums are involved there are only winners

Quoted it before and here again. W. Buffet. The market is a manic depressive. Tell a depressive they have won the lottery and they won't crack a smile. Tell em they have lost a quid and they will burst into tears. Same with lloy. Mention corona and we down five. Mention a cure and we up four - till dinner cos it may not be perfect so down six. It's how it is

MMA might have something to do with that LB.

[diku] 22/2/2020 16:57

Is the boxing fight really a boxing fight?...

Both 28M guaranteed, + a share of PPV assuming numbers are hit.

cp - a thoughtful post to your credit. I totally disagree with most of the content though.

mitchy #6507: "Why does a No Deal Brexit appear to concern the market so much ?"

Excellent question. No psychologist but it seems to me that bankers and economists, whom the media hang on every word, see everything in terms of risk and things going wrong. They are reactive rather than creative, visionary or identifiers of opportunity. It is the entrepreneurs who see the ideas and borrow from the banks then endeavour for good outcomes, including from new trade deals.

Similar question could be asked why does big business fear a no deal Brexit so much? Imagine a business that has spent the past 40 years taking on board all the rules and regulations generated by the EU bureaucracy. The last thing they want is to have to compete against companies entering their markets, by-passing the burdensome bureaucracy and undercutting them. One of the reasons the EU is seen as protectionist. Dressed up as 'maintaining standards' in reality preserving their protectionist racket. Also assumed by many that EU standards superior though not necessarily so.

Better than getting 0.5% in a bank though hey

[smartypants] 22/2/2020 16:16

Brilliant gaffer. ..I think you may have missed the point..so you made 14p in divs but lost 29p to inflation... you should have bought a speed boat... look at what you could have had

[patientcapital] 22/2/2020 15:59

A statement of fact neither prosecutes nor defends.

M2, I'd say that Britain is the worlds top ranked nation when it comes to boxing, certainly a couple of years ago we had more world champions than the USA. Lots of good work done getting kids off their playstation and off the streets it's a fantastic leveller and everyone irrespective of ability gets respect for stepping through those ropes!
