No, but that has nothing to do with it. Steven is hacked off because it's unprofessional, and probably worried because Rhodes has previous. We're talking about whether why he's
worried and
p1ssed off, not about the
moral rights and wrongs.
Are you stating that Wood did not have contact with Rhodes and one of his co-managers prior to the press conference?
I am armed with some of the FACTS - in my opinion Moore and Wood directed their frustration at the wrong person.
Now before you have a pop at my posts - run along and look into a boxers and managers contract - a boxer sometimes has to take the advice of his manager/managers.
In addition Rhodes has been completely professional in his approach to all of this - please contact the BBBofC if you have the slightest doubt!!!
Eh????
You came on and wondered why Steve Wood and Moore were so vocal in their condemnation of Rhodes for missing the conference. You said it was unusual.
I provided an answer to that: namely, it was unprofessional behaviour and that Rhodes has a history of pulling out.
This would explain why they would be frustrated and why they would be concerned.
There was no question of "Is it fair that they get so angry when Moore has missed a press conference/withdrawn from a fight?" That's a separate question which should be dealt with separately.
But there's no jumping on your posts. If you pose questions on a forum, you should expect them to be answered. You disagreeing with the answers does not constitute anyone jumping all over your posts.
I'm sure there are two sides to this, and I'm sure Ryan feels completely justified, but then it's not my money and time and effort going into organizing the conference or promoting the fight, so I don't know how people react to no-shows, no matter how 'professionally' the no-show has acted. I suspect, though, that "Sorry, can't make it tomorrow/this afternoon, because allegedly wants to be with me" would be very frustrating and concerning.
So that's my answer to your question.
