Floyd is not coming.

Surprise surprise. Parsons was right all along.

[ILikeBeer]

Floyd is not coming.

He shouldn't feel too bad, happens to all men at some point.

He was probably tired, or stressed from work.

[Parson Cross]

Don't give up on the 28th just yet Mickey. That's a whole different ball game.
Had to laugh though - unspecified visa issue. mmmm.

[The Law]

Parson was indeed right all along. I remained sceptical despite all the nonsense being spouted by various promoters of the various dinner shows.

[Sklar]

I'm glad he's not coming. For me, the after-dinner-circuit should be reserved for retired pros with increasing waistlines and decreasing egos. Floyd should stay lean and mean for as long as he can.

The issue would be that he didn't apply for one.

[Parson Cross]

I don't think that's accurate mate.

[Taansend]

If anyone is interested I'll fly over & do a series of talks when I can tell you about my two pussies (I don't physically have two vaginas) & my Toyota Matrix.

5 quid a head with a free kebab thrown in afterwards :geek2:

[Poncey]

More like his domestic issues prevented him from getting a visa.

[stevieb_8006]

hes painful to listen to anyway. with his self given nicknames and always saying "the sport of boxing". It drives me mad, he never just says boxing.

I cant fathom how he got to be such a draw when hes such a dullard. tho OBV hes a genius

[whiskey]

Looks like he ain't fighting Khan soon then.

[mickey1975]

Looks like he ain't fighting Khan soon then.

Exactly. The only reason he was coming in the first place.

It looks like Mayweather is coming on 28th June in Leeds for a charity dinner show. Gary Atkin has just confirmed it. You were right once again

The Leeds show will be the ONLY dinner show he will be attending.

[Sklar]

So the visa issue was horseshyte from the promoters, right?

Looks like it. I have been told that it was allegedly a contractual issue with the tour contracts. Gary Atkin's show was not part of the 'tour', it was a separate contract.

[Parson Cross]

Sadly Floyd has pulled the plug in the 28th.
Feel for Gary. He's talking about rescheduling for October.

[Sklar]

No surprise but I also have sympathy for the organiser as he'll feel the brunt.

Edit: Parsons, is Mayweather likely to compensate the organiser?

[Parson Cross]

No mate.

[Taansend]

My offer still stands. I also completed a 4 mile race for a turtle charity this morning. I can tell people about the sacrifices I put myself through (like not getting completely hammered last night).

[mickey1975]

No mate.

He's told Gary he's 100% coming in October and will make a donation to his charity.

It sounds to me that pretty boy wasn't as popular in the uk as he thought so possibly promotors couldn't sell all the tickets Just a thought that's all I could be wrong

You're very wrong. He's just a diva who does what he wants. He pulled the plug. Not the promoters.

[Parson Cross]

Spudder - MILES off the mark !
Every event sold out. When you're TMT though you call the shots.

Mickey,
Got a message after I posted mate. I'm pleased he's done that and I understand he was genuinely upset he couldn't do the 28th which is a bit more like it because my dealings with the team were how can I put it, tedious !

[Andrew]

I wonder who people dealt with on the Floyd side arranging these

You'd like to think it was the man himself or Leonard Ellerbe.
