Excatly my point, He knew he was not going to fight , he knew and his trainers and managment would HAVE TO KNOW he had a booze or drug problem or both . YET THEY STILL SELL TICKETS, to a fight they must know he's not in shape for.JimJim wrote:Frank Maloney has been quoted in the report about Scott Harrison coming out of the clinic to go boozing in a pub; Maloney wants Scott to return to Scotland and he has called on pubs in Glasgow to refuse to serve him.
It does look like Harrison did nip out to the boozer on Thursday, then.
That points to a very, very serious booze problem. If he'd have gotten into the ring this weekend he might have unravelled like McCall did in the rematch with Lewis.
On the other hand, this problem didn't just materialise out of thin air over the past seven days. He must know he's let down his fans, not so much the airchair fans but the supporters who were travelling to Belfast.
I can't see the WBO standing by him for long. Nicky Cook is ranked number seven by the WBO and he's out of his WBC eliminator. Maybe Cook could box for the interim title ?
Now if they were going to let him fight when he obviously is not up to it, bad managment to say the least, But if they knew it was going to be called off for whatever reason but basicly because he's hitting the substances while he's supposed to be training .
Well in that case the BBBC should step in and start fining these people at the very least, rest assured they don't mind throwing there weight around when its not high profile people they deal with , But certain teams managers and promoters never seem to get pulled up
Not to long ago there was an Aussie who had a few problems actually a samoan or whatever fighting out of Australia, Anyway he had problems and did'nt show up in England letting people down , He apparantly had some issues but never the less he was suspended and fined .
What they going to do here aafter all people have bought tickets in good faith and this guy is obviosly not in shapeand has'nt been for a while
