After dinner speaker events

[boybrooks]

I took a lad to box on a dinner show in Leicester saturday night , was a white collar prizefighter type thing (cash fighter they called it)

Had Frank Bruno do a guest after dinner talk and had a few others making an appearance such as Rendall Munroe and Joe Egan and a memorabillia auction

Was a really well run event in the main and all the tables were sold out , only downside was my lad didnt make it past the quarter final having lost a very close decision to Kevin Concepcion , personally thought he should have got the nod but hey thats boxing .


ive never been to an event like this previously , just wondered how common they are ? do they sell well ? im guessing the tables werent exactly cheap either .

I went to this show mate and think your lad got robbed. Conception got the home decision and everyone I spoke to agreed.
There's gonna be an over 16 stone one soon which should be good.
I agree with the gloves being checked and a few of the other issues but it was the first event so things will improve.
The table prices ranged from £500 upwards and all had a 3 course meal.

Nobody is having a serious pop. It's all tongue in cheek. It's obvious that almost everybody likes Joe, how else would he have been able to remain on the ADS circuit for as long as he has if the reverse were true?

Experience of both tells me that forums are far more cynical than the ADS circuit.
