well spotted.

Has anyone been to any of these signings?
Is he getting a big turnout & is it worth it?
Is he charging for photos?

I'll have to pay Commander 'Vander a visit.

I wasn't going to buy his book yet, as I think he will still be fighting in 50 years time, but if I can get a signed copy, then why not!!!

I wandered down at lunchtime to Zavvis.

There is a pile of The Real Deal's books near the store entrance.

I asked an employee what was happening later & he said Evander will be downstairs doing a meet n greet.
In order to go down there you have to buy the book first at the till upstairs and they give you a wristband that gets you downstairs.

I asked the guy 'will he be signing them?' after the Waterstones stuff about him not being able to sign for some reason, and he said 'I dunno'

Then i asked would you be able to get a photo with him. Again 'I dunno - that's up to him'

Finally I asked are you expecting many people. He pointed at the pile of books and said ' we've not shifted that many to be honest'.

The book is discounted to £10 by the way.

I reckon if he turned up at Waterstones Watford he would sell more than in Manchester. They are only interested in Hatton. When he retires the boxing scene there will die.
