Alex Arthur applies for promoter's licence

LISTEN,IF RICKY WAS FIGHTING A DECENT FIGHTER HE WOULD SELL OUT ALL ARENAS IN GLASGOW,MAYBE THE SCOTTISH FANS ARENT AS THICK AS THE REST OF BRITTISH FIGHT FANS,,IE,MAGNIFICENT 7 PISH O.K.:goodGET HIM ANOTHER FIGHT LKE MARTINEZ AND U SEE THE TICKETS FLYING..!!!!

 

All this englander bull**** trying to bring down Burns through his ticket sales, all I can say is

:rofl

Hes world champ, get over it

 

I'm Scottish mate.

 

No he's not.

 

Let me tell you mate ricky done the guts of a 700 tickets for the laraya fight,wrong arena to quick imo.No disrespect to Alex but he never sold 700 tickets in 4 fights or so

 

Mate your fgures are a mile out,if yoiu paid that you certainly would be skint very quickly lol

 

I was shocked at how poorly attended the Laryea fight was, even against the Norwegian dude there was a big crowd.

Good luck with the promoting Arthur, I'm sure there's easier ways to make money!

 

as was stated, the arena for those two fights are a ***** to get to, public transport links are also poor, plus the Laryea would have been hammered after a heavy snow fall on the Friday and Saturday.

 

Burns needs to fight for a respected version of the world title then his attendances might pick up a little. Can't just keep defending against top 50 WBO 'contenders'.

 

I was at the fight against the Norwegian and I think it's what put me off going to the Laryea one. By the time I'd paid for trains to Glasgow, taxis to Braehead etc it cost about £100 for a pretty boring nights boxing. It's not like Laryea was that impressive against a very poor Paul Appleby so why would I want pay the same again to see him in a title fight where he was obviously going to be way out of his depth. Even if Burns had been fighting a good British level fighter, like Sykes or Foster, I probably would've been tempted enough to go.

 

If your shocked at Burns attendances, you should check out John Murrays fanbase, a group of about 20 guys in 'Heres Johnny' T shirts at York Hall bethnal green:rofl

 

Murray doesn't have a belt round his waist with world written on it though...
