David Price ‏@DavidPrice_1

Arl bastards get a brass and a sausage dinner given to them and then proceed to ruin years of hard work and the futures of honest men

David Price ‏@DavidPrice_1

2 GB boxers names are on gold medals. No matter what happens. Mark my words. We'll see who they are. Good luck to them. It's how it works.
It's stating the obvious what us no mark clueless Boxing fans knew anyway, but i imagine the fact a high profile Boxer can openly state the same thing adds more weight to the fact the Olympics and more so Boxing in general is a stinking mess of corruption.

One wonders why he would speak out on this, but my respect for him has gone up.

Midly amusing Eddie Hearn crying like a tart on Twitter at Stalker getting "robbed" whilst he is a key figured involved in the public manipulation of Anthony Joshua who got a bigger gift than anyone at the Olympics.

The sad thing either side is only speaking out when it involves a rival.

I.e Frank Maloney, Frank Warren, Ricky Hatton & David Price
vs
Tony Bellew, Eddie Hearn and other scouse fighters associated with Matchroom and Sky

All this latest bollocks proves is Eddie Hearn is a snake just like FW only he has more charm and is a sexy bastard so gets away with it.

Is there anyone left in Boxing who is honest ?

I personally don't see the point of fixing Gold medals, because the reality is if he struggles in the Amatuers he will most likely struggle in the Pro ranks. So the long term rewards will not come without the talent.

Fair play to Price for speaking up but like you said it's already what most Boxing fan's thought, as for Hearn, I bought into the good guy act at first but I think that was due to my dislike of Frank Warren and it was more hope, his old man is a wanker though and as many people (including the great God OC) pointed out to me that the apple dosn't fall far from the tree, his cards have been good though so I won't criticize him too much, for now.

Boxing is a really hard sport to follow, you need to love the sport just to be able turn a blind eye to all the bullshit that go's with it. I doubt it will ever change either?

Disappointing thing for me Bill is Hearn has come acrss blunt and honest which was refreshing, then to see him one minute lapping up a dodgy gift for AJ and next crying cause one got "robbed" you just think............................prat.

Again Tony Bellew always comes across same way but he was pissed last night at Stricker not winning, yet acted like AJ deserved to win the other night.

Maybe im naive but is it much to ask for people to be consistent, you either want a fair clean sport or you don't, or in some cases they want it corrupt when it suits them. Kind of leaves you bitter about the Sport.

I think they are more just trying to support the GB lads than being concerned with robberies.

Hearn obviously wants to sign Joshua, saying he got a gift wouldn't exactly help Fast Eddie achieve that would it? It is a double standard but who gives a shit..not me.

Consistency is the key but their is none whatsoever amongst anybody in boxing, be it a ref, promoter, judge, boxing writer, everybody involved has their own agenda, Hearn is no different, all he has is a bit more money behind him, which gives him a certain confidence but deep down 80% of what he say's is still bullshit just put across better.
