thanks mate will do, much obliged youre very kind - I'll buy ya a pint on the 4th if you are coming (boxing rec piss up).
(but they quote even though it says on the tickets not obliged to grant refund). Ill keep you posted if I need a hand. They are getting back to me.

I must say though its guttening, first the pinto debacle then this, Im so dissapointed, and it seems the fans suffer yet more.

Like I say shall stick to york hall and the odd wembley bash from herein. (or reading).

if I fancy a real big one ill save up and go vegas, feck it.

Personally I think this could really damage hatton's following outside Manchester, a lot of people who saw him sun morning foned me up going what is going on? Hatton looks like a middleweight at present with 3 weeks to the original date.


doesnt show a lot of honesty selling tickets for a fight you were never gonna be in shape for.
blame the lack of opponent or whatever but you have known the 5th was your date for 2 months you should be in better shape than he obviously is at present. Dont get me wrong I like Ricky but I wont be going all the way up to Manc to support him again after this and realise this isnt all down to him but I dont see why I should.

Im devastatingly dissappointed at the moment in many people, the promotions / hatton himself and the judges at the weekend in the Sarmiento /Lynnes fight and also in the Pacman / Marquez fight which i feel personally is setting up a money spinning rematch.

Credit to marquez and pacman though.

a really bad couple of days for boxing in my view.

Why are so many people intent on destroying or harming the sport I love? :cry:

Hope Loynesy is correct. Yes, I understand that the boxers on a bill are subject to change (even when totally short-changing the paying punter) but there is no way the date of a bill should be altered with no refund offered.

If this is the case, then the law is totally wrong.

If the law protects this type of thing, it needs changing.

J - let me know: happy to offer any legal advice you need.

Unfortunately can't make the piss up on the 4th - will be stuck in Las Vegas for the de la Hoya/Hopkins/Hispanic causing panic card...

cheers matey have a good one :wink:
yeah could just be the ticket people under instruction not to let people have refunds without "trying it on".

They have now confirmed that I can send them back and will refund my card though I know of someone else who did it via another route and he is having problems. Will tell him to keep on at them.

Nevermind, shit happens as they say just a bit guttening as was looking forward to it but in the great shceme of things a lesson learned I think lie I say will keep to fights within the area as less hassle.

Off to fone the hotel now cancel that. :x
