in what way Stu?
Premier sports have claimed that they have rights to HBO or some kind of contract with them. Premier have a strong affiliation with Irish sports - if they cannot get this fight, then it shows that they don't have a particularly strong contract with HBO.

Aer Lingus fly into Boston from Dublin. From Boston it's around 2 hours drive/bus journey to Mashantucket. I just done a quick search on flight prices and it's the bones of €500 return. Greyhound coaches go from the airport in Boston straight to Foxwoods where the fight is on. The coach will cost around $30 e/w.
Tis feckin hardship no doubt. Seven hour flight to Boston from Dublin plus the usual hours of shite you put up with in US airports. Foxwoods looks like a complete kip and the venue holds only 4000 (I think). I can't understand why it isn't in MSG ? There must be brown envelopes involved
MSG is so much handier, plenty of hotels within walking distance and not to far from airport in New York. I wonder if demand is good enough would they tranfer the fight to MSG????

American promoters aren't known for being practical with venues. In fact they are fecking useless at it. It's the same with putting Bradley/Alexander in Detroit. There is no market for the fight there, where as in St Louis they would have done at least 15,000 tickets.
