Dear oh dear...another 'magnificent' pull out!

Rhodes getting a world title shot Novemberish??? :thumbsup

 

Hopefully they will now get the Mosley vs Mora card and link it in the one package.

Wishful thinking maybe.

 

:rofl

Everyone knew there was gonna be some pullouts. With 7 potential title fights in one night, it was always ambitious to believe that none of the 14 fighters would get injured and with all fighting in pretty much there biggest fights to date if one was to become injured they'd just fight on. Macklin was by far the hardest test Barker would have faced in his career.... If he was slightly injured it makes complete sense for him to pull out.

How many would have believed him if macklin beat him then he came out with the 'I was injured' line?

 

Good point, for me this is the only way Warren can redeem this thing now. Split PPV with the LA card. That would leave;

Clev-Murat
Enzo-Frenkel
Brook-Jennings
Chisora-Sexton
Degale-Dilks
Macklin-TBA
Gavin- Kelly

Ponce de Leon-Escalante
Baldomir-Alvarez
Ortiz-Harris
Mosley-Mora

Call it 'Oceans 11' draft George Clooney in to present and have a random little chinese kid flipping over Nicky Piper during the broadcast.

 

Was really looking forward to it. Still am but it's the first time i've shelled out for ringside seats, if another of the big fights goes i'm going to look at getting a refund which i'll have no chance of......

 

Absolutely no chance, everyone was warned about this when the bill was anounced, never buy a ticket until about 2 days before hand imo.

 

Well when i was buying the tickets i didn't get a warning! I'll still be going any way just feel a bit agrieved. The 2 fights i wanted to see have been called off. Going with my best mate and he wants to see Jennings Vs Brook so no doubt that will be next to go!!!!

 

The stupidest thing was calling it Magnificent Seven. Asking for fate to **** it up.

 

Interestingly Frank Warren is no longer Rhodes manager i've heard. This ruled in court last week.

 

Hmmmm :think

 

Mentioned this on another thread earlier in the week that the Barker Macklin would get pulled, its a buisness lads and Fwank def knows how 2 play it.. Barker they reckon sold over a quarter of the tickets now thats a nice little earner for our Fwank, now Fwank has handed Barker a tidy little earner to pick up a injury !!!! as he's already made on the ticket sales, so when and if they do reschedule this fight they know they can sell them all again and LADIES & GENTLEMEN.... THATS BUISNESS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Pretty guttered about the way this card is going considering ive forked out good money to get my arse up there on fight night and watch it first hand. No doubt there will be good fights but with big names like Barker and Rhodes dropping out (and no doubt more to follow) it does **** me off.

 

brilliant :good

 

The cards falling apart at the seams...

The best fight gone, another solid fight gone. It's looking more like a normal card now.
