    Put it on an undercard in the States.

    Problem solved.

    Not quite.
    Who will pay for it?
    You seem to have all the answers,so who is going to pay for it given that Burns is due the majority share and Beltran will probably want more money.

    So,problem not solved.Fancy another go?

    I'm not a promoter, I don't know the mechanics of the money available to the fighters but the idea it is impossible to put this fight on outside of Scotland is a myth.

    It's perfectly possible to put it on in London,but given that Ricky probably knows that his journey doesn't have too many stops left,he should not be expected to take pay cuts to fight on some undercard in America(where no one is interested in Beltran) in a fight where most of the people haven't entered the arena.

    So it is perfectly feasible in the UK,and completely illogical in the US(apart from to those who would fight every week for nothing from the safety of their keyboard)
    So would London be OK for you? Because Ricky wod have got the same decision in London the other night.
     

  6. Anti Jock.... hahahaha :rofl

    So you telling me that people weren't arguing on the net over the decisions of all those fights mentioned ?



    I still see people going on about how Froch got a gift against Drivel, and even seen people still bitching about the Hatton-Callazo fight not to long ago.

    So no mate, it's not anti Jock thing, that's just your smack infested paranoid mind at work..... :rofl

    :hi:

    LOL - So, If Beltran hadn't punched my boy in the face we would have won.

    No ****

    I've heard them all now
     
  9. Hatton fight... yeah, he was the cash cow, last thing they wanted is for Hatton to lose at that point, so yeah there could of been bribes. Who know's... one thing is for sure the guy who give the fight to Burns by 2 rounds is worse than all the judges in the Callazo fight. At least in some way you could sort of call the Hatton fight close, I happen to think Callazo won but I can understand if someone seen some of the round the other way and give to Hatton... can I do with the Burns fight... erm nope.

    Froch-Drivel... Drivel came over and used the worst tactics ever, rolling around on the floor, crying to the ref and running like a *****. Huge ****ing difference to what we seen the other night with Beltran, the exact opposite. No fvcking way was I going to give Drivel that fight using those tactics, and If I think that then I can see why the judges seen it the way they did. Absolutely **** all like what we seen in the Burns fight.

    There's no way shape or form can anyone say Burns won that fight, Froch and Hatton, you can sort of see why some people could have it for them.

    It really is that simple.

    The " if he hadn't had a broken jaw statement, he would have won" is ridiculous LOL.

    Burns is probably a nice guy and is certainly a 'braveheart' who has a strong urge to be honest, but hes lacking the elite skills and doesn't have time to develop them now.

    The price of honesty when you are 30something can mean working at Tescos if you are not careful,I guess he has no choice but to either be content with the façade and become the next Calzaghe, or be honest and offer Beltran a rematch, prepare for another likely beating.

    Price of bent judges is of course a lot worse for poor ol Beltran, who is to all intents and purposes the new WBO titlist, but a prince without a crown or coinage.

    Hearn has written to the WBO asking for Beltran to get first pop and Top Rank ( who promote Beltran and Crawford) have written to complain about the decision, so if the WBO do the right thing Beltran should get some justice of sorts.
