It's disgusting Billy.I know you won't say so but I'm guessing you know this "viral infection" claim is bull****. I'm sick with my own circumstances here but I genuinely feel for you and Ricky.
Agreed, mate. I honestly think Burns would fight Vazquez tomorrow and Broner on Wednesday if he had to, so it's a shame that he's the one who takes the brunt of it. People will call him a coward or whatever, but it's a load of bollocks. He's just a nice guy who happens to be lumbered with a failing promoter. For me, Burns, Nelson and Morrison should not face any criticism at all. It sounds like they've been messed around with as much as anyone. When I read it was cancelled, I remember what you posted the other day, about spending £600 on this. Gutted for you :-(
:good cheers mate. What a **** Fisheyes is. Sooner he's out of boxing the better. If Burns can't see this now then he's a dick too. This is what he also gets for ducking the Broner fight when he had the chance. He had a golden opportunity and he didn't take it. Now he will always wonder if because that fight is never going to happen for him now. What a **** up. If Ricky Burns has even an ounce of ambition and cares about not wasting his prime then he must do everything in his power humanly possible to... GET A NEW PROMOTOR!
My mate spent a fortune for him and his dad to go down from Scotland to watch it. Now that it's off and been re-scheduled for a date he can't make he's fuming. Here's the video. Sums up how I think we all feel to be honest. Warning, he is very scary. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCy5txI67hE&feature=youtu.be[/url]
This is actually a timeline I have 'borrowed' from a top poster at one the internet's premier boxing forums. I hope he doesn't mind me using it here: January 14th - Fight announced at London press conference (not featuring Vazquez or any of his representatives) and tickets go on sale. February 17th - Miguel Vazquez says the fight is not agreed. - [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=QaW4Y0TQlIM[/url] February 18th - Journalist Ben Jacobs reveals that Vazquez has told him he will not be travelling for the money on offer. February 20th - Dean Powell releases images to *********** showing that the fight was agreed with Vazquez's promoter: [url]http://www.***********.com/uploads/6...el-vazquez.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.***********.com/uploads/62574/2.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.***********.com/uploads/62574/w.jpg[/url] February 22nd - ****** spokesperson tells Scotland's EveningTimes: "There isn't a problem and there never has been. These erroneous reports have now been removed from the various boxing websites that were circulating them.". February 25th - Vazquez has doctor's note signed saying that he is suffering from illness. Not revealed until March 4th. February 26th - Vazquez's promoter Zanfer Promotions release a list of upcoming fights with Miguel Vazquez due to fight an unnamed opponent on June 1st. March 1st - Eddie Hearn says that Matchroom will be announcing a big signing on March 4th. Later revealed as George Groves who was due to fight on the undercard. March 2nd - Daniel Ponce De Leon posts picture of Miguel Vazquez training in his gym. - [url]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BEYmEVqCMAASMEZ.jpg[/url] March 4th - Frank ****** announces that the card will be postponed to April 20th as a result of Vazquez's illness, citing February 25th doctor's note. March 4th - Alex Morrison on the rearranged date: "They can say what they want about it. I'm not saying if it is or isn't going to go ahead on that day."
Why are people saying they think burns would fight broner tomorrow when burns himself said he wasn't ready and backed out of the fight
:-( Were you able to get any kind of refund on anything? Frank should at least offer the fans some kind of discount, not just because many will be paying extra for new flights/hotels, but also because of the inconvenience of it all. I hope he does the right thing for those like you. This really must be a **** experience.
They'll just fob the fans off and say "injuries and illness can't be stopped, lets look forward to April". They won't give the fans an honest answer.
Which means he owes everybody something, if we're being pedantic and picking up on double negatives :yep
You have no reason to apologise, most on here like you coming on and fair play for you coming on today and apologising, you NEED to move promoter to find out how good Ricky is, you want them fights and so does he and Alex Morrison seems to have had enough to.
He mentioned it on his podcast, he just spoke about the illness and groves. He kind of brushed over it. However, wazza is on his show tonight talking about it.
