What a ****!!!

And as for not knowing what happened - how do you know what I know - you find difficulty spelling your own name!!!

[Spud]

i still see everybody saying the same thing about you in boxing nothing changes, i hope every bit of bad luck comes your way think we no who lies cos theres a few people who would vouch for that cannon fodder

B*llocks!!!

Your first line is the biggest piece of sh*t written on here!!! Steve Wood is the most approachable bloke I have met in boxing - your deal for that particular fight is nothing strange in boxing and if you did not have the intelligence to figure that out then tough sh*t!!! - I recently went to a show where Lee Swaby fought Dave Ingleby and after everything was paid for he ended probably less than you for his fight - he didnt moan about it - or try to blacken someones name like you have - he has put it down to experience and got on with life.

spud , you keep mentionining lee swaby , but he promotes now , so if it was his own show , which i imagine it was , then so what if he got almost nothing , its perfectly normal for smaller promotors to not make a profit on a show , i do white collar shows and my next show may be the first one i take a loss on , but i knew it was going to happen eventually , i thought id done well to not lose anything on my first 3 , maybe ill bang out a load of tickets in this month leading up , who knows but im expecting to make a small loss , no doubt lee was fully expecting to not be earning vast sums either.

Hello!!!

FACT 1 - Dennis Hobson promotions promoted Lee Swaby's last 2 dinner shows - Lee did 90% of the ground work and I came in for the last day to do a lot of the running around and Michelle from Dennis Office did all the pay outs.

FACT 2 - Lee Swaby does not hold a promoters licence and if you ask him he never wants to organise or help to run another show again as he says its too much of a pain in the arse!!!

FACT 3 - Lee Swaby received far less money than his last 2 opponents Ingleby and Butlin - in fact peanuts!!!

Please contact the BBBofC if you feel anything of the above is incorrect!!!

where have i spelt my name wrong

[mickey1975]

I agree.Most people on here dont have a clue when it comes to purses...I know how shit the dinner shows pay,but its good money for a Sky show over 4/6x3's

[Old bones Ian]

So going by this thread , is it always better to buy a ticket off a boxer on the show, rather than through the box office?
Sorry if thats a stupid question

[Spud]

I would say wherever and whenever you can get a ticket from a boxer on the undercard of any show - they are on a pittance - they may get a small purse from the promoter and may get anything from 5% - 20% on any tickets they sell - the average is 10%.

Some boxers may get handed say anything from 25 upwards tickets - thats it - they sell the tickets they get the money - if they dont they are f*cked.

I agree, mate. An interesting topic. I have tried to bring up purses before and everybody gets their knickers in a knot. I am glad this one has been allowed to flow. A lot of armchair followers of boxing do not realise just how little most pro fighters get paid. It is, in part, because they are armchair fans that the purses are often as paltry as they are.

I started a small hall thread a month or so back, imploring people to make the effort to get to as many shows as possible. More bums on seat equals more money for fighters.

not if you box on a left jab show
