    The $1300 club fee and $50 household fee is basically a fee on stupidity. No way should it be refunded. They need to learn a lesson.

    Was arguably worse, but not by much Ced.

    You don't think it's a good thing that someone's put their hand up and said 'enough of this ****'?

    IMO more people should be doing exactly the same thing mate.

    You're certainly right there Kegsy.

    If enough individuals & venues just stop paying it will force BOXA's hand to provide something that at least resembles value for money.

    Unfortunately too many dickheads continue to support the existing substandard tripe, and while that occurs it's all we're likely to get.

    I agree with Kegsy People just shouldn't buy it if they dont want to, but to buy a show that wasn';t much different to the last few then complain because no one showed up is a bit rich, As i said i had a bit of interest in the undercard but i knew i was buying an inferior product so should have they

    We can all form our own opinions on this, but the bottom line is FOX agreed to the refund.

    This demonstrates that FOX also agreed it was a sub-standard card.

    That's the big picture - and that's what's gotta change.

    If people i know are fighting on the undercard yes I will continue to buy it, I have already said that chocs last 4-5 cards have been no good I only buy them when i know a few of the people fighting so nothing will chnage,

    I agree with all that you say Fox agreed to refund which showed they thought it was a bad fight card, I agree it was a bad fight card no arguments here, all i am saying is that the melbourne PUB should have known before they bought it as you said everyone has ther own opinion so no use re hashing over and over like I have i will leave it there

    Cheers Ced. Let's hope BOXA get their act together, and more will pay, and less will complain.

    MATE!

    Finally. We are on common ground here!

    100% agreed. (even if i disagree that a refund was warranted, i maintain that the guy just made a **** decision and should live with it, but can definitely accept what you have said about bad products deserve a refund. )
