Yeah tbh watched both press conferences online and got the feeling they were just banking on the main event and Katie to get the crowd in the door,Disappointing could have been used as a great stage for some irish pros,Maybe even an irish title or two,
Yeah, with a crowd like that, you'd think they could afford a couple of decent fights. Also thought it'd be a good fight for Sheahan to make his debut, since he's from Tipp
Poor undercard is bad form. But if tix are selling anyway they are under no pressure to upgrade the quality of fights, unfortunately. Spike has been talking all along like he is confident of being on it though????? Even if he is I doubt itll be against anyone serious, so as not to outshine Andy. All the promotions eggs are in one basket here - if anything goes wrong with the main event, or if its a stinker.......
Len if you are heading to Limerick for the fight ill have a good bet with you that my man Andy takes care of business against bjs,we can put money behind a bar of your choice and ill buy you a few pints in some of our great bars here with my winnings afterwards.
Way-hey!!! Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to go to Limerick, meet Dutchie, and simultaneously enlighten both his mind and his wallet. Sadly- not this time cos I wont be there. Im kinda regretting not going now though....:thumbsup
Another time Len,cant see Andy being beat,bjs has no power and fades and it will continue in Limerick,if Andy doesn't knock him out he wins by dominating the last 5 rounds imo. Funny thing with Katie,doesn't make sense,pity as the undercard seems very average,amazed to hear 21k sold,if so super sales. Roll on Thomand pk and roll on GGG next year.
John Joe Nevin said on twitter that he has a couple of fights lined up within the next two months. Time to get a move on.
Not too sure why and its a terrible shame,when will she get a chance to box in front of that crowd again,She put this message on twitter earlier reading between the lines it doesnt seem because of Booths side,Would love to know what actually went on, This content is protected Katie Taylor @KatieTaylor 5h Huge heartfelt thanks to @boxingbooth and @AndyLeeBoxing for their support and eagerness to get me on the show. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. I wish Andy the very best on the night, a truly great ambassador for our nation.
It looks like Aiba were trying to have Ward and Joyce on the card under apb rules thats why I would say Katie had to pull out.
So the old story of old men in boardrooms getting greedy and in doing so preventing athletes from showing their talent to an apprecitive audience,:roll: Are the APB bouts still on?In one way i hope booth tells them to stick it and leave them on the outside looking in,
