OktoberFIST 2

Why is it funny Phil?

 

Barge, they want people to come, sadly most aussie guys just love to get pissed, like its the aussie way.

but i do agee with u barge, i dont think that it should be on there, everyone knows there would be a bar there, but i guess the are just playin on the octoberfist/fest theme.

in the end, people want to get drunk, im not a drinker but all my mates are, and at the age of thirty i think its pretty sad that my mates cant except that i choose not to drink, i get called all types of names at parties just because im not getting smashed like like everyone else is.

with everything, people need to respect ones personal choice, the macho get drunk thing is ****in lame to me, i know im on my own thinkin that, and thats fine with me.

 

Because it was an obvious play on words Barge that some decided to take seriously which I think is a little silly to be honest. If I weren't a boxing fan it's the bird that would get me in the front door, I don't drink either

 

If you have to resort to advertising beer to get people in the door, it isn't worth it. the other thing about this is that often boxing events are in the middle of nowhere. very difficult to get to without a car. this encourages drink driving.

there is already enough violence in boxing crowds. to promote drinking is just going to fuel it.
you may laugh at this Phil, but i am sure you are one of the first people to get angry when there is crowd violence.
Non boxing fans just laugh at boxing promotion and administration. i clearly see why they do this.

 

Barge I think you are buying in too much on the alcohol side (and I am a tee-totaller!), it is a play on words with Oktoberfest and I think is a good marketing ploy from Ace and Red Corner. I am with Brian on this one

 

I seen a bit of crowd trouble in my time going to boxing events in south east Queensland, The best was when Julian Holland won Aussie title in 1997 again stefan Scriggins, Stefan got knoked out of the ring and lost the fight on not getting back into the ring in 20 second rule, He was not happy and when going back to dressing room, one famous Aussie fighter at the same weight Jeff Malcom had a few words to say to Stefan and Stefan just attacking still with boxing gloves on and all in started, Iwas in the middle of it because I was standing next to Jeff when it happened, Stefan king hit missed by an inch. **** up ****.

 

Yeah they are pretty few and far between TCW - outside of this there was a blue after Gilbert Hooper won the aussie title and there was a push me shove you well after the last Mansfield tavern show. But actuall real full on stuff I can't really remember!

 

I agree have been to at leat 50 cards in South East Queensland since 1995 and there was only 2 crowd troubles I have seen, that one just talked about and Matt Powell v Frankie De Milo, that was a disgrace what when on that night, beer bottles flying fights in the crowd and outside, Matt powell disgrace himself that night.

 

Iv been to two pro boxing cards in Tassie, and both had brawls, ****in bikie gangs sould not be allowed to attend :nono

you are out of touch with society these days and that is why you run F grade boxing promotions. you appeal to the lowest common denominator by advertising this garbage about babes, biff and beer. it appeals to yobbos and that is all you will get.
i went to a red corner fight night at the sleeman centre once. it was one of the worst sporting experiences i have ever had.
expensive parking
No public transport near or taxi rank
cheap dancing girls (one of the only sports in Aus to still do this)
shitty blow up devices which looked like they belong in a 1980's theme park.
uncomfortable seats
food selection was minimal and of poor quality
mismatched fights - not one fight went more than 8 rounds and 5 fights were 5 rounds or less.
and the list goes on...
also, don't you dare question me about boxing crowd violence. are you seriously blind or are you just stupid? every year there are many reports of boxing crowd violence and i have seen it for myself.
i am very dissatisfied with you response and especially surprised with Phils take on it.

 

get a life barge you fukwit.
if you know everything go put on a "clean" promotion and make millions cause evryone will want to come.
another aussie trait- have a crack at those having a go, just like chix, drinking beer at sporting events and the off chance of a brawl in the crowd. they ahve them in soccer more that boxing!

 

Do soccer advertise for people to come to a game and drink? i don't think so.

i enjoy many boxing nights, just seems that these clowns don't understand how to do it.
