Echo Arena, Liverpool 28th March *MYSTERIOUS UPDATE*

[Neri]

A Hayemaker press conference was due to take place this morning at the Echo Arena to reveal the opponents for Hayemaker fighters on 28th March. Anybody know any details? The local websites have nothing on it. I heard rumours Hayemaker wanted a scouser topping the bill instead of Rhodes-Small. My suspicion was Dodson-Magee for the British. Anyone?

[whicker]

I think Dodson posts here, so he might know.

I spoke to a hayemaker chap @ the wigan show,he thinks there's a press conference on wednesday

Shows their media savvy to go in between two Merseyside Derbies.

Only BC could query another firms "media savvy".
Your mob's top of the league for communication aren't they ?

[leforge]

I think its a good bill, these fights are likely to happen unless Small pulls out for some reason.

Everyone has to learn about these things, take the SN website for arguments sake, they are still advertising Brook/Lloyd on Jan 30th, its been Elwell for the past couple of weeks at least.

Glass houses and all that spring to mind

Well, there's only so much space in the local sports pages and on Merseytside these matches are rather newsworthy. This show is hardly national newpaper stuff so to get optimum coverage, which is the whole point of a PC, this is most certainly not the week.

I think this will sell well.

Sports Networks are going DOWN!!!!!!

Fair point, I see what you mean.

To be honest though, I can't see how much newspaper space a bout featuring a local fighter for the British title would get anyway.

[dondada]

They should switch the PC headline:

'Liverpool FC may collapse halfway through a contest but our fighters won't! Come and see a real fight [insert the date here, and the venue, and the fighters on the bill]'

Just stick Stevie GBH on the undercard.

Can you confirm Small will fight?

Small will fight? of course he will, although it's a bit odd that they haven't invited him to any PC, sent him any posters or even offered him any tickets to sell. I think it's Rhodes you need to worry about, him and the poison dwarf have been saying for ages that 'Small isn't on my radar' well he is now! Look out for Rhodes to vacate and defend his WBC International title instead.

Small V Pryce coming soon no doubt!

[boxingchat]

STOP PRESS - I've just heard that the press conference is about to be cancelled due to "No local interest" .

So how exactly are they going to fill a large arena with guys that have never even sold a leisure centre out?

I rest my case!!

[whicker]

I'd think that "no local interest" really means "no press interest" which isn't surprising given the lack of press interest in boxing.

Poster "Twenty-Six" is friends with Ryan Rhodes, perhaps he could confirm-deny what you are saying?

It would be a shame if this fight didn't go ahead- it has been planned for ages, and sounds like a good one!

The press conference set for monday just gone was called off. It is now next Tuesday at the echo arena so not much details released yet.

Although Liverpool Boxing writer Nick Peet says that all he has been told by Hayemaker is that you might want to take a video camera to the press conference because something special will happen

David Haye fighting on the show against ???

On a side note, Robin Reid said he would like to fight the winner of Magee-Dodson as he has never held the British title.

Also, Liverpool have two fighters involved in the light heavyweight version of Prizefighter - Courtney Fry and Carl Dilks.
