Poor ticket sales as far as I'm aware, not surprising since he has been a c*nt to a lot of the people who used to pay to watch him.

Is he an unpopular figure in Glasgow?

In his prime he was well supported but as has been well documented in the press when he is on the ran dan he isn't a very nice person and lets just say a wee bit of an attitude. I know people who have been disgusted by his behaviour at pubs and functions. I used to be one of his biggest fans but wouldn't waste my money going to see him after I heard the stories. I won't repeat what I have been told but it put me right off him.

Feel free to at least hint at them! Are they much different to what has already been reported?

He can be a right nasty piece of work when he's had a skin full. When he's sober he's actually a really nice guy.

That comment could just be about us Scots in general

I wasn't going to go there. I've got a mate who has met Harrison, he reckons he's one of the most intimidating men he's ever met if you take Frank Grant out of the equation.

Ive met him a few times mate. Everytime I've met him he was really nice and down to earth. He has that 'don't fukk with me' aura about him though. I've been at a show in Paisley where he was in attendance and a little worse for wear and he looked like he could erupt at any given minute. I've also heard a few stories about him booting off and taking liberties with folk for no reason etc.....

Has a young family so I hope he gets his head sorted and stays on the straight and narrow.....

Man, this mainman fella sounds like an absolute beast. I therefore agree with everything he has ever said.

haha That is just a poor excuse for the fact hardly any tickets were sold, trust me the show was only cancelled for one reason and that is Scott can't sell tickets. It really is a shame because he was genuinely one of my favourite boxers, I bought ringside seats at almost all of his fights in Glasgow and travelled to watch him for the last time against Michael Brodie in Manchester. But I could no longer support someone who acted the way he did, he was one of my hero's and to see him at a wedding spending all his time in the toilets with idiots, growling at guests who wanted to use the toilet and were at one point fans of his just put me off him altogether. This wasn't just a one off either he was doing the same in pubs, clubs etc

I was at the Brodie fight too. I spoke to Brodie a few times last year, he generally isn't too complimentary of former opponents but he had a soft spot for Harrison. He said it is sad that Harrison went off the rails and that he should be a national hero in Scotland and would have been if he'd handled the latter end of his career properly. The full interview is below but I'm not 100% sure I put all the Harrison stuff in there:
