True Alan, i can understand how you want to keep your sponsor happy, after all thats what brings money into the sport, just out of intrest (and if personal info ou dont need to tell me) Does Kieran have a job?? Just wondering cause i find it hard because i have a full time job, and teacch 3 classes at the gym in the week, Kids Monday, a class Tues evening and also Thurs morning, so when i have to start training hard for a fight i struggle to train as much as id like to,for i work 8-5 so i (try) to get up at 5 and go running 3 days a week, then its to work and i will meet Liam at the gym twice a week on my dinner hour and do a bit on the tread and a few light weights etc, then its straight to Badco after work where Richard will kill us on pads before the session then train the session so all in all im constantly fucked due to having to work. The reason ive waffled all this and asked about Kieran working is this, i was just wondering (and again no need to tell me if personal info, im just interested) does Kierans sponsor just come into play when he has a fight coming up, ie helping out towards the cost of his opponents etc or is he lucky enough to have a sponsor who helps him out as and when needed? I have heard of a few fighters who don't work and get paid by a sponsor to just train and fight full time thats all?? Id love to get me some of that,lol. Soz to waffle on just intersted, and no how important sponsors are in our sport.
