    Any person, pub or venue that paid for this farcical promotion should be refunded. I don't give a rats arse what you nut bags think!!

    The minute Mandy stepped onto 'those' scales, the game should have been up.

    TeamScum forfeited any right to accepting payments right at that point.

    The pathetic closing sequence with Rayn Waters was the consolidating factor.

    No one should pay a cent for this ****.

    I hope the Waters fight goes belly-up financially.

    Are you trying to say that the confrontation with Water's was staged?

    Nah.. that was as real as it gets. I wonder how Burchy feels about Waters getting a role in Neighbors perhaps??

    Definately pay better... and get a wider audience nationally.

    Tongue in cheek no doubt Smut. But you gotta wonder how far back the whole thing was concocted.

    The coincidental ratings jump for Waters. The fact that he was in Brisbane for the night. The way he was allowed to just wander into the ring. The fact that Mundine actually refered to where Waters comes from when he adressed him prior to their little push and shove comedy skit.

    They obviously had more than enough time to reherse, and should have provided a much more polished performance on the night.

    100% behind that they should have had everything worked out with Ryan pushing choc first then choc with his gloves still on putting one on Ryans chin then a couple of big security guys comming in between the two of them just holding them apart, inches from each other then Khoder and Birchy should have had a slanging match and then as Choc left the ring he should have done his throat slit move with a real deadley stare at ryan before getting the applause of the crowd, That would have created excitment, that would have made the news, that wouldn't have looked like the most AM beat up of a fight that i have seen

    I know no one would have bought it who knows boxing but it would have been as good as any other beat up of a fight that you see at a weigh in or press conference and the not knowing public would have lapped it up and it would have created publicity, what they did was just beyond belief that they were whispering in each others ears. i am not agreeing with doing it but if you are going to do something make it look just 1% real

    In my opinion, with any trace of Mundine involvement you're going to be struggling to attain that 1%.

    What the ****...? Absolutely ridiculous. This is why most hoteliers get no crowd when they screen the boxing; they don't know their arse from their elbow. I'm appalled this fool got his money back. Live and Learn. Don't just friggin' whinge because you've just cottoned on to something sports fans have known for a long time.

    "Scathing"... I'm scathing in my criticism of him!

    We can all form our own opinions on this, and you're as entitled to yours as anyone else.

    The bottom line though is FOX agreed to the refund, and there's no doubt in anyone's mind, including FOX it seems, that the product was a dud.
