We should all welcome boris to partypoker. It's about time they signed up an ex tennis player, just like....... on hang on a minute..... other people have signed up professional tennis and football (that's soccer to you) players, but hey he's a famous ex tennis player so that must carry some value. And he's a coach too! Hey and he can play poker, which is a start.

Funny and nice news that Boris is now signed at Party Poker! I thought that he was signed at Stars in the last years, so i was surprised to read this information. It seems that i'm not up to date But why not, Party Poker was also a nice poker room

I cant really understand what they are winning with all these ambassadors. One more wearing their tshrit, wont bring them the money they have spent, for that sign up i think. But i may be wrong.

Interesting promotion but you have to make a deposit to get the first achievement of the mission ... in particular for not having as deposit, I can not play.

This is the dream job, in my opinion. To be paid to play Poker and to travel the world is phenomenal. I have always liked Boris Becker so i wish him all the best in this new venture

I dont think they are paying the specific player to play poker. Like they are not doing with so many others, that have no clue at all with the game. They are just the window front. But in some stores, its just even a waste of time looking at them
Nice! I know he has been a poker player for a long time and he's one of my favourite all time tennis player too. I used to play top spin 4 online on my xbox 360 and his character was great he was so fun to play with! Amazing serves, huge power, good volleys great forehand and backhand too...
I hope he does well as a poker ambassador. I know he still coaches tennis players.

Boris Becker! I still remember the best years of his career. He and his rivals, John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Ivan Lendl, Jim Courier, Michael Chang and Pete Sampras established themselves as the dominant force decades ago. Time passes by so quickly.

I have heard yesterday, that Boris was bankrupt in the UK, but it was nice to read, that he have a new contract But some years ago he was a ambassador from Poker Stars, so i think he changed the team like a football player
Boris Becker still coaches pro tennis players right? It is pretty surprising to find out that he has money problems I thought he was a wealthy guy. But maybe he spends more than he earns And Maybe pro tennis players don't pay their teams as much as I thought they did.
Anyways he was a good volley guy and a good server so I forgive him for being a bad business man

I think that his statement after decision was that he ofcourse have money to pay,but problem is that he wanted more time and that he would pay that bank credit,but judge didnt want to hear anything about it!thats his words!he also said,that everybody know how much earned in life and that this credit wouldnt be problem and that properties that he own worth more then this credit!

he had 1month left to pay and wanted to re-mortgage a house to pay it - he might be asset rich but didnt pay anything during the 2 years towards the loan....bankruptcy though is more of a protection

Now after bankruptcy for Boris Becker what to think of all of us who playing at party poker that we will have a similar destiny luckily I play only a free roll tournament so I can not bankroth I wanted to say that when they signed agreements with known personalities this does not mean that party poker will benefit from that deal It may be negative for them
But some years ago he was a ambassador from
