That money would be better spent on half decent tickets on a good live fight card or something.To my knowledge, I once got a free pass to a Roberto Duran night..... You sit down, have dinner. There is a high table with the boxer in view.dbf wrote:Who goes to these things? It's a genuine question.

After dinner and before pudding (I think) there is a Q & A session with the boxer. Generally this involves a number of local 'faces' and 'hard men' asking asinine, predictable questions such as 'who did you think was the best fighter you fought' or 'out of all the fighters you fought, who hit you the hardest?'.
The poor boxer has to pretend he's interested in the idiot's question and answer it sincerely. Afterwards, those with more than a tenner left line up and get a chance for a photo. (Actually I'm very proud of my photo with Duran. Poor guy had apparently got his room burgled before the event.)
And that's about it. If you really are a fan of the fighter and you're unlikely to meet him again (for example he's based abroad) - it's probably worth it.
But I would be extremely concerned if anyone genuinely booked a ticket to 'a night with Eddie Hearn'.

I can't believe we haven't brought back Joe Calzaghe's old nickname of 'Sick note' for Haye.tiny_acres wrote:

this has really put me off Haye if that's the case. I know a lot on here don't like him anyway but this has pushed me further into that camp.mickey1975 wrote:He's on the panel for the Frampton fight.

I hadn't even noticed he was there.Sklar wrote:We don't know if Haye has made it right with the promoter, do we? Either way, anybody who books him, or buys a ticket, nedds their head feeling - groundhog day.
P.S. The guys sat either side of him tonight in Belfast both look like they're trying to outdo each other in the cock-sucking stakes.
