If Mr Vocale ever again claims he's never claimed/demanded 2 pay packets for reffing & supervising PABA, I"ll refresh his memory with this fight:- http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=90053
Remind us all again Junior why you pulled out of a visit to Perth in December last year to promote this fight? Seems you have have a over inflated opinion of your own worth. Strangely, despite your one bout appearance on the Contender it may shock you to find your hardly a household name over here. Hows that Prizefighter rip-off promotion you were going to do coming along?
Or anywhere? He was on TV twice last year (both Grange PPV shows), so it's hardly vindicating the self appointed 'the peoples champ' monicker he gave himself! My earlier question stands, if you've self-promoted like he did last year (and apprently it was a good show), why bother relying on promoters, especially when not in your market?
Bring Juniuor in has the late replacememt m Fletcher can fight the winner next show. Oh i know cost too much , well maybee juniour will drop his fee if asked nice . Or do they already have a replacement . Heavan forbid they would'nt already ,,,,,would they .....
hey junior whats the lowest fee you would ever accept for a fight? not including travel, accomodation, titles, opponenet etc... If i walked up to you tomorrow and said ive got a fight next door to your house against an unranked bum whos got 3 wins 40 losses. how much would you ask for?
BRAD VOCALE who is the real grub - A FORMAL RESPONSE FROM MICHAEL K Thank you for the great character reference. Times must be tough and your self appointment as the Martin Luther King of boxing is amusing and primed to give you a job advertisement to add to the numerous positions you already hold. I dont participate in public forums to scathe participants in the boxing world and have previously reprimanded Talipeau for doing so. I will however have my 30 sec response purely on the premise that we work in an industry where if you cop one on the chin you have the right to throw one back. i.e. In response VOCALE: i. I have previously invited you to have discussions with me regarding the PABA debacle but you have refused and have been itching to get to the public arena to ridicule an acquaintance of Kerrys. Your reference to Kerry is purely done so to gain self esteem that you have gunned down one of his lieutenants. Kerry has no relevance in this matter. ii. There is a file that sits on my desk that covers the chronological order of emails and other correspondence forwarded to you, Alan Kim, and others that would indicate the historical account and adverse business behaviour you accuse people of is nothing but a pile of ****. This file sits on my desk for anybody to see. iii. I hate to disappoint you, you have no relevance to what I want to do in boxing iv. Your rather stupid attempt to get your message across through anonymity and innuendo is written in a manner more befitting a student in the Third Grade. The accusations you draw on peoples business ethics and behaviour are far outweighed by the way you have behaved in this matter and you actually adopt behavioural patterns of a grub. not the manager of another leading fighter v. Extended time parameters are given and people not relevant to the issue are drawn purely to throw more mud and nothing else. vi. You disclose confidential information pertinent to fighters and their purses which is disgraceful. vii. You appoint yourself as an arbitrator of fighters purses which you have no right to as a boxing official. viii. You accuse others of backdoor politics but when choosing to publish your written illiterate masterpiece you do not go through the official channels that everyone else has to go through but send the editor your piece in full and he publishes it for you. ix. Its not a boxing officials role to mediate on an argument between promoter and fighter. You act as Judge, Juror and Executioner. Talipeau is a free agent; I do not hold the fighters I manage to contractual obligations. My involvement in boxing is voluntary and I do not profit from boxing. I now have images of you flying into Perth with your superman outfit, cape dragging holding the PABA belt not holding Lois Lane but the import that Robbie Bryant was always scheduled to fight. On all accounts Talipeaus gripe was not all the irrelevant issues you raise but the handshake agreement that was made to him less than 4 weeks ago which was withdrawn a few days later, conveniently omitted in your reported sequence of events. Junior is a friend and a very talented fighter and he will bounce back from here; Trust me. Finally we share some mutual acquaintances who find your behaviour rather out of the norm in this matter. Brad I am willing to forgive and forget & attribute this incident to the Pea Brain Syndrome you undoubtedly suffer from. Was it worth the $750 fee, the cattle class air ticket and the feed? I wish Ty Coleman, Robbie Bryant all the best for the night and perhaps Junior gets a shot in the near future. No hard feelings guys. Thats boxing. Thanks for the laugh Michael Karagiannis
