http://news.boxrec.com/news/2011/alex-arthur-applies-promoters-licence As stated at the bottom of this, I hope he shows a bit more sense with others than he did for himself. It's a mixed blessing nailing your colours to the mast of a football club. Arthur found it difficult selling a lot of tickets in his home city.
i dunno how he will get on with getting the fighters most of the edinburgh fitghters are with alex morrison and one or two are with ****** ... wether they would be allowed to fight on another show is another question ...
i thin kwhen you look at the figures for tickets sales its a hard slog for alex , lets hope he can make a reguler thing of it as it would be good to have a reguler shows throguh here ...
The news that i always hear is arthur is quiet the little alcoholic,drinks jack daniels like water.He says he would fight anyone with 10 weeks notice
I'm not sure he will be doing his fighters many favours if he gets his license. From what I've heard, he's tight as a ducks arse.
on a seperate note,has anyone seen ken buchanan recently,used to see him out and about leith but nae sign for awhile
He will only be doing small hall shows anyway im guessing. Can't see many fighters wanting to go to him.
I'd love to see boxing in Edinburgh but sadly I just can't see it being a success. There just wouldn't be a big enough target market I don't think - Edinburgh's just too much of a rugby type city if that makes sense.
You never know if he has his wife behind him then he could do well. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd1-HM234DE[/ame]
