Oh yes, I agree I was very annoyed about Pinto vs Hatton not happening, I had my eye on some big cash with a Pinto win but all I am saying there is nothing that can be done. Whether the promoter is just making an excuse or is telling the truth, what can be done.bennie wrote:I'm having a go to you, Stu. Not at you. It's frustrating when these fights fall out - but even more frustrating when promoters seem to get away with it time and again. We all know who the worst offender is, but Howard Eastman gets a late sub, Carl Froch gets a late sub, and now this.
Just sickening.
I suggested that FW should have offered a full refund for all those people who didn't want to see Hatton vs Pedersen, that would have been the best he could have done - how many though would have taken him up and how many of those tickets would he have re-sold? As Ricky has said he could sell out the M.E.N fighing a telletubby, the vast majority would have been gutted and complained if the card was scrapped.
If a double header gig of the Beatles and The Stones was arranged and the promoter announced a day before that the Beatles were forced to pull out cause two of its members have died, then I would want some refund. Thats the only thing I could ask for, I wouldn't go (like the article mentioned in John Shep's announcement basically did) claiming that it wasn't because two members of the beatles had died, its was because of something else. I'd have to accept the promoters reasoning.
