Pretty much. It's a shame, but that's the risk you take when you buy tickets to boxing matches.

The only ever fight I got tickets to was a Joe Calzaghe fight. (Who himself had a bad reputation for getting injured before fights.) It ended up being cancelled. Luckily the card went ahead, though I travelled to Cardiff to watch Danny Williams vs Matt Skelton 2, with Amir Khan and Enzo Mac both fighting on the undercard. Feck knows why I purchased tickets for that particular event, as I live commutable to London.

I guess the rule is, only buy tickets to fights that you can commute to. And if you absolutely have to travel to the fight, book a hotel that has a free cancellation policy.

I'm stunning you managed to pick up on that, in that it's exactly what I said.

Yeah, most of my money goes on trips to see snooker. (I post on snooker boards as well, by the way.)

The WMC where we have it are putting six tables in for the pro's to practise on during the UK championships. It is a two minute walk from the venue. I could get free tickets if I wanted. I wont, though....
