Boxing and the mob

[Kirkland Laing]

So do we think this has been damaging to the sport? Not sure it really makes much difference.
While he continues to evade any kind of capture or convictions for gang related crimes, he will continue in his role as "advisor" to the boxers who seem to worship him.
Things will just continue as they have done for the last several years.

He's had involvement for years now and has probably helped (in some way) to give us some big fights that we maybe wouldn't have seen.
All he's doing is simply rinsing his dirty Money from his billions of drug money through the sport of boxing.
It's genius really ������

That's not how money laundering works. You don't launder money in a massively public business where the sales numbers are easily checkable by the authorities and every last penny is accounted for by multiple lawyers and so on. Boxing brings in pennies compared to the drug business. How are you going to launder hundreds of millions of dollars a year? Claim Wembley has a million seats? Sky are not going to have any part in anything crooked with PPV buys nor would it be possible with the layers of accountants and the transparency of their subscription system, same with Ticketmaster. This bloke is doing this because it's a hobby and he thinks he's invincible as far as legal consequences are concerned. And he's probably right. If he stays in Dubai he'll probably avoid the inevitable outcome for guys like this which is being knocked off by some rival, he seems to be aware of exactly how he is vincible.
