I'm gonna be a published boxing writer on Friday!

Again, I have to say that BN would pay me. All I need to do is send them an invoice. As a freelance that's how it works. For me to get paid I would send them an invoice. Listen mate, I know your intentions are probably good but I'm getting into trouble because of it. BN are no exploiting me, they would pay me - but as I've stated I'm not wanting paid. All I'm wanting to do is to get my name out there at the moment.

 

the upercut

well doen but i cant really base anything on 5 sentances but hope your in it a bit more

 

Fantastic......over the moon man.

 

I have done work for the bn website, a bit more expansive. Have been asked to write for a boxing site in the states so that's cool. I was recommended. They want someone to write about the uk/euro scene so it gets noticed a bit more.

Did a report on the Huck v Rusal fight to start with.

Dunno if im allowed to name other websites like esb on here.

 

Cheers

 

I could be a whole lot more of a big bad ogre in this thread by saying that Boxing News is a ****in rag, with a bunch of joke writers. I ****in hate it. Full of biased pricks, who dont know ****. I often laugh at how pathetic a magazine its became in the last 10 years.

However, good luck to the man here who just got as gig on it, hopefully he will buck the trend & write some unbiased interesting articles.:good

 

keep it fresh and try not to get boxed in.

****'s sake man, he asked posters pleasantly and politely to tone it down, give the guy and the magazine a break and stop acting like a tit.

 

If that what you want, fair enough, but I can't see why you would want to turn money down. I know how hard it is to get commissions.

Off the subject slightly, if you're not an NUJ member already, think seriously about joining for the benefits it brings.

 

A former BN writer was on another forum a week or so ago slagging BN off for (among other things) getting rid of experienced, more expensive writers and hiring newbies on peanuts, so parts of this thread have probably gone down like a lead balloon!

Not what uppercut intended and obviously not his fault

 

Acting like a tit? ACTING LIKE A TIT?

What did I say there that 'titlike' that I dont like a magazine that has jock haters writing for 'em? specifically a Glaswegian hater who always takes my people down. & he is young enough to not be taken seriously. A boxing magazine should be full of older experienced men, not full of teenagers & internet writers. I expect more from official magazines than reading forum guys who work for next to nothing.
Fuxake Zico, you should realise that I never act like a 'tit' here, I can always back up my arguments. You think if I just came in & threw abuse about without backing it up I would still be here? Think about it before you open your big mouth next time.

I would ask you to take it back, but this place is getting too good for its own good, & respected posters like myself keep on having to answer to noobs all the time who dont do their homework, & its ****in tiring to be honest.
Why didnt you just ask me WHY I didnt like Boxing News instead of hurling insults at me? The forum is about debate, its not rocket science you know, read the instructions on a pot noodle & it will offer you the same advice...

In fact, you will probably be writing for Boxing News the next time I check this thread...

 

You gonna remove that FAIRWELL EVERYONE from your avatar ?

Or are you leaving again...........

 

Listen man. I only came on here to tell of my happiness. I wish I ****ing hadn't. Just incase anyone is interested I'm not some dumb ****ing internet writer. I graduated in journalism and law in 2001, my Dad died and I hit the wall big-time. Only been writing again since last summer and started writing on here. Have since been published in The Scotsman

I'm from Glasgow and live in the Borders now. I'm 30 in October.

And it'll be the last time I work for nothing I can assure you. A guy at the BN who's been a brilliant source of advice for me actually advised me to take the payment, I just wanted my name in print.

Can this thread just be ended please?

 

Ha. Epic temper tantrum ! :rofl I liked this bit where you complained about " good, & respected posters like myself keep on having to answer to noobs all the tim" best. :good

 

Seriously well done buddy. I have been sending out my articles for months but no news. maybe one day!!
