    Simple question...EUBANK seems to want the fight, or claims he does, right? So can't the outstanding difficulty with the terms be resolved today, and the fight still go ahead?

    Why can't this fight still happen?

    You can get a refund. Not you, but how many Matchroom drones are on here? Jesus wept.

    ******s going to argue this fight is an undercard so tickets purchased for the main event, (fury chisora) are valid and they'll be no refunds. Don't think box nations going to exist in its current format much longer, think they'll maybe do a deal with BT sports or something, and charge an extra £2 a month to get both BT sport and box nation.

    Sorry DSG you are wrong on this occasion.

    Google the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and read sections 2(1), 2(2) and 2(3).

    Section 2(1) deals with a fraudulent misrepresentation i.e that a person made a statement knowing or believing it to be untrue which induced a person to enter into a contract. The inducement does not have to be the Headline fight.

    For example if you bought a car and were told that there was only one previous lady owner and that turned out to be untrue but it was that representation which induced you into entering the contract and not the car itself, then you may well succeed. The burden of proof falls upon the representor.

    Section 2(2) deals with a negligent misrepresentation, i.e. a person is careless in making the representation and failed to check his facts but did not deliberately and knowingly make the misrepresentation as in section 2(1).

    Section 2(3) deals with a wholly innocent misrepresentation, i.e. the person making the representation genuinely believed that the representation was true but in the event, it turned out not to be.

    If a person wins their claim under either sections 2(1) or 2(2) they will be entitled to both tortious damages and the right to rescind the contract ab initio (in other words to be placed in the position that they were in before they entered the contract. In Short you will get your money back.)

    If a person wins their claim under section 2(3) they will be entitled to rescind the contract ab initio (see above for definition).

    So if you can show that ANY representation induced you to purchase a ticket and enter into a contract and you are not happy, check the Misrepresentation Act 1967.

    I have no intention of commenting further, so do not ask. For free legal advice go somewhere else.
