No BS. It's all starting to look very dodgy.

I thought he was already here! Hmm this does seem very short notice indeed to be travelling, 4 hours time difference isn't a big deal mind.

I thought Pinto was training in California anyway?

No, he's not here. What price Ricky Hatton versus Mike "No Joke" Stewart on Saturday?

frigginell Im personally gonna smack the fornicate out of warren if that happens . No joke.
Ill be close enough cos Ive done my nuts on the tickets. serious look for a very angry geezer punching frank very hard.

(it will be a left hook)
followed by an uppercut followed by a johnny wilkinson style conversion of his friggin head through his arseole.

Gotta admit I pi55ed myself laughin at that post J, but in all seriousness it aint funny - ringside aint cheap and Hatton v Pinto is worth shelling out for but Hatton v a fish monger is not what you payed for.

Dont reckon you will be alone in giving Wazza a slap - he better have Joe Young and a few other choice big uns to protect his fat neck.

This bill is fast going downhill :(

165 quid each with booking fees and stuff.
And i bought two as taking my bro for his birthday.
Ill make sure it costs double that much to fix warren's teeth.
and i nearly went for chi brodie.

Suppose it serves me right for boring everyone to death bout it, still I am truly so excited. Or should say was ( unless pinto turns up then ill be happy.)

aaaaaaaaargh.

im going home to bed.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:22

Bennie, did he not bother turning up, wasn't he scheduled to appear at the press conference? Has any reason been given for his non-show?

knockout · Post by **knockout** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:25

i thought when you were flying in from another continent you had to be here x number of days before the fight...
can anyone confirm the rule???

OH YEAH JUST RUB IT IN

in seriousness will keep checkoin this thread on a minute by minute basis, thanks all advance for any enlightenment to move me out my present suicidal state.

I cant believe they would put stewart in with him surely mitchell to keep the fans happy?

arse biscuits.

ArtOfWar · Post by **ArtOfWar** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:36

If Pinto doesn't turn up, anyone going to the fight better hope that Hatton gets it on with Mitchell. Now that would be a brilliant, but FW is not gonna let his cash cow fight Mitchell unless he has a lot of time to prepare. If I had a ticket, and didn't get my money back, i'd be severely pissed off. Fans should get what they pay for or a refund.

J · Post by J » 31 Mar 2004, 10:40

Being serious.

Pinto may turn up yet.
I will be most irrate if this falls though its bad enough Rees pulling out of the gomez fight, barnes whooping Mclarnen without this as well.

i mean its not only the money is it. Its the hotel the trains, the time...

better get sorted our Francky boy better have a fornicating good dentist. haha.

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:43

I think this is all a bit premature, I mean it is kindof a late arrival, but there's nobody actually saying he is not turning up, at least not yet.

J · Post by J » 31 Mar 2004, 10:47

yeah true but i do like a good old rant...(as if you hadnt guessed).
As with most things in life you can speculate but only actually do anyhting about it if and when it happens.
To be perfectly honest I will have a right larf anyways but it would be nice for it the main event to be what is advertised.

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:50

James,
You say that, but I was told two weeks ago that this fight was in the balance.
Even though the source was very reliable, I dismissed it as a wind up.
Please God, it's not true.

Suppose Pinto doesn't turn up.
Why would that be Warren's fault? Do you actually think this is how he would ideally like to promote a fight. Promise a big opponent, deliver a shite one?
My take on Frank is this, if he doesn't want a fight to happen, he doesn't make it.

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:56

Priff,
You offer too much kindness to Warren.
It wouldn't be the first time, would it ?

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 31 Mar 2004, 10:57

Pinto was due to arrive today. But that's definitely not happening. There's still a chance he may do a Vince Phillips and arrive on the Thursday before a Saturday fight.
But if he's not here tomorrow, forget it.

PS: I've heard from an ironclad source, Sports Network are phoning around Europe in a flap trying to locate a new Hatton opponent.

Hopefully they won't avoid ringing Urkal's peple.

cos i need someone to take it out on and I think i would be doing the boxing community a service.
That good enough for you.

Urkal's tied up for a proper title fight with WBA incumbent Vivian Harris.
