Worst ever entourage?

[Chinny]

Two stand out for me. Gerald Mcclellan's on the Benn night. Not only were they clueless, they didn't seem to give a shit about Gerald. One of them said 'if it wasn't for the referee we'd be drinking champagne on the flight home by now'. Real classy when your guy is fighting for his life.

Also the gangster wanabees who used to work for Riddick Bowe. They bottled fan man and pretty much started the MSG riot by attacking Golota in the ring.

[HitmanHatton]

Manny Pacquiao seems to have a lot of people in his entourage who dont seem they need to be there.

[GazOC]

Tyson (esp after prison).

Tyson (esp after prison).

I think we have a winner.

[Jack Dempsey]

Check out SRR's, the first ever entourage

including a secretary, barber, masseur, voice coach, a coterie of trainers, beautiful women and a dwarf mascot

Vinny Chases are a load of leeches if you ask me. Seriously Mayweathers is abit stupid. That fuckin clown Ellerbe always in his ear saying how good he is.

What was the story with Bruno and Tysons mate that Crocodile fella? One who wore the army clothes and shades, big mouth etc. Did Bruno chase him or deck him? Crocodile always used to be doing the throat cutting gesture to other fighters, bit of a tit.

Maybe I'm looking at it with rose tinted specs on but with the likes of Robinsons entourage it was like "the show had come to town" and at least most of the guys on the payroll had a nominal job title. This days its just bunch of plastics gangsters who have managed to latch onto a top boxer for a free ride.

[Flea Man]

Did they bottle fan man? I thought they hit him with a radio?

Pretty sure I read in Dark Trade that at the weigh-in for Tyson-Bruno 2 Crocodile was doing the usual shit to Bruno and Bruno's wife told him to fuck off and gave him the wanker gesture and the Brits started singing to him "You fat bastard! You fat bastard!"

Which reminds me, earlier on in the weigh-in the Brit fans were chanting and a couple of Americans went by, it goes something like this:

American 1- "What are them Brits singing now?"
American 2- "I don't know, but it sure sounds pretty."

It turns out the Brits were chanting "Tyson is a rapist, Tyson is a rapist, na na na na." Rather them than me. :lol::yep

[GazOC]

Fan man was the Holy fight, not the Golata fight.

First I've heard of a ruckus with Bruno. I do remember for Bruno II Team Tyson all came to the ring with the words "Hated by many. Loved by few. Respected by all." on the back of their jackets.

Probably looks naff now, but at the time, caught up in the moment, I thought it was awesome.

[Flea Man]

Fan man was the Holy fight, not the Golata fight.

I know.

On 'legendary nights' it says something like (and uses footage to back it up) that the weapon both time was a radio, and it was the same guy that did it to Golota.

I think you nailed it right there mate, I totally agree

[Chinny]

might be my memory, but I thought they bottled him. Either way, he got a hell of a beating! I remember staying up to watch it live on ITV. Those were the days!

[pauliewalnuts]

Bowe had a lot of arseholes around him, he was the king of brawling outside the ring as well. Remember him hitting Donnel ( I think thats who it was) with a 1-2 at a presser, throwing a glass at someone else, I remember another kick off involving Bowe away from the ring but I cant remember who it was with!

Yeah, the caught Donald with a hell of a punch. You could Donald was very intimidated.

I think Buncey said he was there when the glass incident happened and it nearly hit him :lol:. It was against that Cuban with a dodgy hairdo.

Gonzales.

[pauliewalnuts]

Who was it Bowe fought when they went over the top rope like the WWE? I think one of Bowes corner went for the guy and pulled him over? Could be wrong like im not sure!

[ishy]

That's him!

Here's the Donald punch:

Bowe's entourage was horrible. They also started a riot after the Elijah Tillery bout - Tillery kicked Bowe, Bowe's manager ran into the ring and wrestled Tillery down to the mat, 20 guys entered the ring and started beating each other up, fans in the stands started to riot, people pulled out their glocks and started shooting. Just a huge mess.

Dumb question. WTF does "bottle" mean? I'm sure it's some kind of Cockney rhyming slang, but from the context in which it was used, I thought it basically meant to cower away from someone. Here, it seems to being used completely differently. In any case, it's not a term that's ever used in the US.

[Chinny]

yeah, the final press conference had Bowe and Gonzales seperated by a glass screen!

Bowe's last really good performance, he whipped him good and proper

[GazOC]

IIRC Tillery kicked Bowe and Rock Newman (Bowes manager) jumped in and had a go.

Pac doesn't have the bottle to fight Pac = Pac doesn't have the courage/balls to face pac.

*that's not my view of the situation btw, just an example :lol:

yeah thats right, but the way it was used in this thread is as a verb. to bottle someone is to smash a glass bottle on them.

[GPater11093]

Gonzales.

Gonzalez threw the glass at Bowe.

Also for punch ups Holmes vs Berbick is the undisputed.

I doubt even I would be able to take that combo from Bowe.

Tommy Hearns had a pretty massive entourage.

I remember Manny Steward actually blaming the loss against Hagler on the fact that one of Hearns' sycophants gave him a leg massage before the fight.

Probably a bit far-fetched, but I can imagine any interference with your fighter from cretins is going to piss you off.

Yep just read this in the Hit Man biography yesterday

Holmes was like Batman or somebody the way he leapt from the car onto Berbick, was classic stuff! They dont do press conference brawls like that anymore! :D

[BrummyLad]

Tyson (esp after prison).

:deal Tyson by far had the worst entourage, the guy was left bankrupt thru them, Hattons hasn't got the biggest entourage but he has the boggest dickhead in the crew being Lee Beard...

[Beeston Brawler]

Why would you actually need an entourage?

What happened to trainer, cutman, conditioner, mum, dad, brother, sister, wife/gf & your best mates?

Where do all the dickheads come from?

Lennox Lewis always had a few clowns knocking about, not sure what their purpose was.

[JIM KELLY]

Livingston Branmble- he had a witch doctor with him..

[kurt2006]

JT when he faced Lee McAllister had 25 people in his entourage including: a barber, 10 well fit bitches, 6 body guards, 3 dwarfs and 5 other hard guys which included Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Razor Ramon, Million Dollar Man and the Macho Man.

[slip&counter]

macho camacho had a very strange entourage, then there was all those clowns to massage arron pryor's self worth. "what time is it?"...lol

[ishy]

Mugabi had a priest with him for the Hagler fight.

Didn't Naz have a large entourage towards the end?

Odd members of a boxers entourage:

MC Hammer (Holyfield vs Bowe II)
Puff Daddy (Hamed - not sure which fight)

Oasis (Hatton)

I think the worst 'Team Tyson' was the one with Aaron Snowell as trainer. The others were bad, but after the Douglas defeat even King took some of his cronies out of the mix

Watching that Little Prince Big Fight documentary...you will see Naseem Hamed in the changing room fucking about with the gloves etc and then says 'Who are all these people?...get out,everybody get out'.Then loads of muppets leave.Who are these people and why are they there in the first place if he just tells them to fuck off when he's pissed off:huh

Weren't Tyson and Judah part of Fernando Vargas' entourage for a while? Pretty sure I remember HBO mentioning it during one of his pre-Trinidad fights. As was Julio Cesar Chavez, him and Tyson in your entourage is pretty fucking cool.

If you bottle it, it means you lose all confidence, fold and get the hell out of there.

But it also means to literally hit comeone with a bottle, or throw a bottle at someone from point blank range.

Nothing to do with cockney rhyming slang.

Bottle means guts 'he's got no bottle' means 'he's got no guts'. 'Bottling it' means chickening out.
When the guy was talking about bottling the fan man he meant he thought they threw bottles at him/hit him with a bottle.

Worst entourage: Well, don't know if it qualifies but I always found Chris Byrd's wife pretty annoying.

:deal Tyson by far had the worst entourage, the guy was left bankrupt thru them, Hattons hasn't got the biggest entourage but he has the boggest dickhead in the crew being Lee Beard...

I went to the same college as Lee Beard in Salford, played football with him. Very decent striker actually. He was so non-descript, when I heard Hatton had a trainer called Lee Beard, and I saw a pic of him, I STILL didn't remember the guy. My mate had to spell it out to me that it was the guy we knew.

I find it hard to believe he's a) training a world class fighter and b) is a 'dickhead' because he was OK when I knew him, not a dickhead at all.

Was a while back to be fair.

[Beeston Brawler]

An ego can grow pretty quickly though..... look at Ricky Hatton himself.

Around the Castillo fight he was a sound guy - funny, down to earth, the man of the people literally, and he's steadily become more arrogant to the point of being a delusional, irratating.... arsehole basically.

I don't buy Betty's theory that he was always an arse and he has been 'exposed' (:-() but he has changed a lot IMO.

In all honesty, I think Haskins' entourage (if it can be called that) is quite cringeworthy. He's from a pretty nice part of Bristol (by south Bristol's standards anyway:lol:) and his entrance song which 'goes out to everyone in Lockleaze' cracks me up every time!:rofl
