Someone like Darren Sutherland who Maloney is promoting and obviously investing in, should be sent over to a tough area in america to spar for a couple of weeks, leading up to his fights, somewhere like Philidelphia, no high profile gyms, just honest hard working gyms with queues of other fellow prospects as sparring partners, all wanting to make it big and earn.

This is what Eubank is getting at, Degale is being robbed of the need for him to be hungry and had the edge taken off the need to work, as like Khan and Harrrison before him, he has it on a plate already, hes a millionaire before even fighting as a pro
Maloney's Darren Sutherland is the Irish fella that beat Degale three/four times before losing to him at the Olympics.

Degale is a millionaire before starting, but just because Audley and Khan failed (well Khan is still going) doesn't mean Degale will. Everyone is different.

He is LIKELY to FAIL anyway.

It doesn't matter how much heart, determination or areshole you have - TALENT is still the biggest factor in success. And going by the amateur form, Degale is NOT a standout in the talent department.
The good thing about De Gale is he's likely to be the bookies favourite in any future match with sutherland or other domestic rival so we can make some money betting against him.
