How come John is asking everyone not to post references to their stories?

Fair enough request and at least they are asking nicely.

No, it says in the thread

We have had an email from their publishers informing us that no reference must be made to their content on BoxRec. Please respect this and do not post any content of their stories, references to their stories or links to their stories,

Oh, you edited your post from saying "doesnt say you cant use 'references' ... regardless, seems strange. All of the traffic coming here for news instead of visiting their site, maybe

Oh yes, edited it after reading it again.

Possibly and copyright infringement.

Either way at least they are not threatening to sue.

Danny Flexen was on every other day posting links to articles yet now we cant even make references to them??? Its all gone a bit fwank warren

[Adamj1987]

they wont advertise boxrec so boxrec dont advertise them

[RUS]

maybe Boxing News should spend some money for advertising and buy ads on boxing forums - free advertising is a good thing but it gets annoying when all guys like Flex do is post links all over the place (..and on every boxing forum!)

[m1kee50]

does that mean that we cant say "i read in boxing news that x, y and z" etc..., or that 'BN said he came in at 2lbs over the weight" etc etc?
