Looks like it’s time to re-read this thread and see what all the fuss is about...

A few hilarious ideas come to mind, but I’m too afraid to post them in case Buncey starts tweeting about me

I get why he's upset with Bricks, but he should be big enough to take it on the chin. Ok Supremo said he wasn't a fan of his but was polite and reasonable enough.
Boxing Knockout said some nice stuff, I guess the Ugandan hooker thing got to him.
But seriously what sort of gangster does he think he is asking for details!!
He looks stupid now for not doing anything and if he does do something the trail leads straight to him!

Yeah I think he'd be laughed out of court if he went that route so im not sure what he is implying he is going to do with the details. I'm not a solicitor though so I don't know for sure.

I don't think I'd be worried about taking a hiding if I was any of the posters mentioned.

I can swear like the rest of them, we all can, the difference is we choose not to. I don't really want to read about ' going down the pub on Saturday night for some 'Charlie' and my 'fat ex ' leaving the kids with me and I certainly don't want to read what Bunce or anyone else did with prostitutes. That's my point.

You know Bunce isn't going to get rich with this book. It is a book for general boxing fans, and there's not many about. What we have now is 'fans of boxers' so a book on Joshua or McGuigan or Froch will outsell Bunce's type of book, because they will be bought by fans AND the general boxing public. He'll be very lucky to sell 1,000 copies and most have already been discounted. I'll buy it though,and I'm sure I'll form an opinion when I've finished.

if its swearing and foul language you object to, you cant have enjoyed attending too many boxing shows the last 30-40 years. I first attended small bills courtesy of my dad in the early 1980s..... everything from the York hall,the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley and even Bowlers nightclub Windsor back in 1987 when Barry Michael lost his world title.....there has usually been lots of profanity and drunkenness .the Albert Hall notwithstanding.....british boxing has hardly ever been some German like bastion of dinner jackets and fans sitting quietly to applaud a jab over dinner........its always been raucous going back to our Enery....I attended Bruno_Witherspoon as a youngster forced to attend in the wee hours by my dad and I vividly recall a fan shouting out repeatedly "kill the black bbastard Frank"....and the same fan being in drunken despair when Frank got knocked out............in a sense Bunce is the beacon of all that you dislike in your post above.....he was once someone who spoke and wrote about boxing quietly and seriously.....I mean look at him on Boxing First or Audley era BBC.......it was only after he got the setanta gigs that the loudmouth,screaming hysterical and abusive fat man in an exploding suit with all the banalities u evidently dislike...was born ..........its irrelevant how many copies of the book he sells....that's not the point.....the point which you are missing as you are blinded by a sense of authors must stick together .....is that Bunce, rather than go down the traditional manner of selling a book, has chosen to be loud and vulgar and market his book as the authoritative british boxing bible mainly as its written by him.....and as one BIG F YOU to all the forum posters and online fans who quote "attend boxing matches in their thousands and write up fight reports for websites" but "don't know what theyre talking about"and Im the big daddy Bunce the bert sugar of the british boxing scene and this book is proof of that...that's how the book is being marketed and that's evidently his motivation for writing it , its not a financial thing its a labour of ego.....his whole raison d'etre behind writing the book appears to be that he is uniquely qualified to comment on the british fight scene since the 1970s.......and that forum posters/online writers don't know anything
