    You're argreeing with someone that had a meltdown arguing with me like years ago. He's still butthurt about it, I think he tried to threaten me physically too :risas3:.

    Your attempt at debunking what I said failed. Sorry. You brought nothing new to the table, I was aware that not all of the judges were from NZ, but my points stands. Judges want to be invited back to promote big events. Pleasing the big time promoters is beneficial to them. These are facts.

    David Higgins from Parker's management said the Fury camp have claimed that Hughie has picked up an injury in training and that they have given Parker the go-ahead to fight another opponent."

    "Do I think Hughie is injured? No, I don't. I think it's make-believe," Higgins said.

    Higgins described the Fury camp as "clowns."

    Fury's withdrawal from a fight worth $1.7million to him should have repercussions for his career. He is undefeated at the age of 22, but few reputable fight promoters are likely to want to enter into negotiations with him or his camp.

    Oh, so Fury is injured. I think we can all calm down now. Oh and Parker's management saying that they think it's made believe isn't exactly a credible and unbiased source.

    Parker's promoters should be trying to get a late-notice replacement opponent. He's done his training, get him someone to fight.

    What type of injury has he sustained? Or are they still trying to think of something people might believe?

    That is exactly what they are doing:

    "We want to do the right thing by the paying public," David Higgins from Duco said.

    "We need to show them respect and we will. We as a company need to re-group and make different arrangements and we hope to do that by tomorrow morning."

    No of course not. It was an assumption, but I feel like it's an assumption that holds more weight than yours.

    To id myself? When did I say that Parker having homecooked judges wasn't an assumption? Are you ok? :risas3: I don't understand what you're trying to say. Probably nothing.
