I'm still going. :box:

My loss depends on the ticket refund and replacement opponent if there is one. You could say the copius amount of beer drank in dusseldorf will be a loss for the bank balance but I will be rich with memories and experiences of german sausage! :surprised:

Get yourselves over there you big girls!

Good grief.

I'll paypal you a fiver towards your loss !

It makes you wonder if booking with a sports tour operator is a safer bet for insurance for this type of event getting cancelled?

TBH I should've booked with Jon. But shit happens. For every fight that gets called off 7 don't so it's just luck.

It's been a good life.

And no, I don't think I'll get a refund.

jesus f**king christ, i log on, see this thread, think it slightly odd that the poster is asking 'How much would you lose were the Haye fight to be off' and then realise it's actually f**king off.

f**k boxing forever.

I would think so yes. Because it would have been an Ante-Post bet.

Depending on ticket situation £17 of the hotel that isn't refunded. £10 coach from Stansted aiport that isn't refundable and about £60 on flights.

So £87 plus a ton on tickets probably.

I'm a glass half full kind of person and am looking at the few hundred quid I put aside for spending out there as going towards my trip to Dublin for Millwall in July though!

Only 23.80 euros on the flight, 50 quid on the ticket, I presume I can get refunds on the hotel, but i'm still going as I need to get a connecting flight from Dortmund to Poland as I can't get to Poland from Spain, so i'm gonna have to make the most of a weekend jolly in Germany!

90 on flights, 60 on hotel and 100 on 2x tickets. So 250

this was going to be my first boxing trip out of the UK am absolutely gutted. Have been counting down the days for the last week. This will be the last one i book for, i know its always a risk when booking but its not worth it.

i think i am going to go anyway, nothing is refundable so might aswell go

All I can say is ...... b*llocks! :x

I guess most of us will still be going given that the chance of a refund is very bleak.
