    What the hell are you on about. I am not condoning it, just putting forward the reason why it ain't happening. Seen this a thousand times now and its a ****s trick I agree. But its happened and there is **** all we can do about it. Don't be start with me, save it for Groves, he is the one who has ****ed everyone over because of personal gain and glory.

    Hey, lay off - they've had at least three shows on, eleven weeks into the year. :bart

    That's 27% value for money, mate. In this economy that just ain't shabby.

    The cost of a pint of beer a week, remember? You get what you pay for, innit. :deal

    Guys my injury is not a life threatening one, but it is one which has and will prevented me from training correctly in the final stages of camp and I didn't want to fight if I am not 100%. I owe it to you fans not to go into a fight injured only to complain about it after.

    Possibly but I think its all down to the fact Groves has been offered a trinket and a big payday. The case of Paul Ryan I eluded to earlier is the best example of how to **** up your big chance. Groves had dodged a bullet to get to get to the target. He will say he has already beat Anderson by KO and he's fighting a more difficult fight. Mark my words and quote me. Seen it all before :-(

    It was the way he rocked Groves and due to the fact he was a late replacement. This aided his cause for a rematch and lack of opponents around will force it because Groves is too green for the elite (super6) and he don't wanna fight Degale again. It was the only fight out there that could sell, that was until Steiglitz came available.

    Can't say I blame Groves. It would have been nice if he was honest about the reason behind the pull out but its a short and dangerous career and he's doing what he thinks is best.

    What I said echoed. No doubt you will be agreed with whilst I get questioned :huh

    Groves did what was right for him. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The card can still be saved if Frank's wants it saved.

    Unfortunately, yes.

    How many times has this happened over the last 6 months on Franks cards? :-(

    Frank's favourite trick is stacking a card, wait for it to sell and pull one fight at a time. **** knows how many times I have seen that, in the dozens at least.

    Is there any way to just oust Frank's whole operation from the biz, but keep BN as an entity - just have it paired up instead with someone who knows what they're about...like Fearon? :think

    Is there like a board of directors who can take a vote, for the good of the channel?
