katyjay 5,091 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Bro, I was with mam when we were walking through Battersea Park and I remember him walking towards us and mam saying in her best BBC voice, [that she usually saved for answering the phone] Hello Freddy, how are you? I saw the title of this thread and thought it was something to do with someone being mad at Mike Tyson! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Bubblewrap, can you fill a stadium with thousands of people paying entrance money, generate billions of pounds from TV companies, billions of pounds from merchandise, give millions of people employment, give...I'm sure you've got the picture. When you become a top class sportsman that can generate all this money then you'll earn in a month more than you'd earn in your lifetime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
