This is a promotional service of HarperCollins Publishers, 195 Broadway, New York, NY 10007, providing information about the products of HarperCollins and its affiliates. The film explores the reasons why they hold these fights and explores in-depth these families' secret life, which is barely known to outsiders of the Traveller community. It is not clear the level of wealth he might have amassed for himself and his family, but it is clear that no matter the level, he still chooses to stay humble.The venues have cancelled because I'm a traveller, and secondly once they know that there's even a traveller on the fight card, they'll cancel it. His prowess in his expertise led a producer to see how much his talent would be helpful in a related movie. After being sent to the hospital to extract the bullet, he had to leave Ireland for fear of his life. As he does in the film Jimmy comes across as likeable, reasonable and different from the image of travellers that we're used to being fed.

McDonagh, born into a family of travellers in Ireland, has fought for that family from a young age, when he took up boxing to beat bullying, and now he wants to take the sport to the next level by setting up his own promotion and staging legal fights.He spent the early years of his life living the traditional way of Irish Travellers, in a horse-drawn barrel-top wagon, sleeping in a tent by the side of the road. If you really want to know more about just the man and some details about his fighting and his mindset about those fights then you should enjoy this book but it does miss out a few details from the film. There are many men out there at the moment - very good men - who could claim to be the 'King of the Travellers' but don't do it because, number one, it sets you up for being challenged for the foreseeable future. This film follows 12 years in the lives of three Irish Traveller families (Joyces, Nevins, and Quinn-McDonaghs) and their bitter feuds and fights. For instance his brother Michael who eas recently jailed for the brutal murder of his wife and who features quite heavily in the film barely gets a mention here and this was written before he ever killed his wife.

The way the game is played in recent times has attracted a lot of fans, who also get to bet on their favorite fighter. The money would drive it further because the guy that lost the fight would have probably given up earlier, only for the money. The title isn’t one that James Quinn McDonagh has given himself, rather one that has been thrust upon him by others due to his rock-solid reputation as a fighter.It’s a journey from his grandfather’s horse-drawn caravan at the side of the road to the country lanes of Ireland where he stood, fists bloodied and bandaged, fighting a clan war that he never asked for. Throughout his career, he has taken part in a large number of fights, some of which were for large cash sums.
