I was there. there was 100% an ambulance already there and is at every event regardless of what hearsay you believe. The show i boxed on was delayed due to having to move the ambulance as someone had complained it didnt look nice having an ambulance parked outside, like it indicated there had been trouble.

In fact id argue your post is libelous

Why would they ring 999 for an ambulance, if there was already one there?

On my shows I have paramedics in attendance but I do admit I've not always had ambulance in attendance but this will change now. How else could I change it? Also is there anyway at all of getting proper insurance for shows? Yes something has to be done but what? Do you really think a fighter that's getting 100-200 per fight will get a proper medical prior to fighting? The pre fight medical we have on our shows are as thorough as any I had with the bbbc and I know the same goes for Damien's shows he always has medics in attendance the Matchings are fair and the referee is spot on with his decisions. My thoughts go out to all involved

BOXINGCHAT Do you really think Damien knew what was going to happen? accidents happen in all sports at all levels people know the risks involved and although the disclaimer means nothing really by signing it they're saying they understand and take FULL responsibility. The truth

yes and the same tests you mentioned are repeated every year to see if there has been any changes in the results of the tests which may cause concern it is a condition of the boards insurance policy which i beleive costs an absolute fortune and even then there is an excess i beleive of 50 k which the board have to pay in the event of tragedy so henceforth thats why licence fees charged by the board are always higher than people want to pay
every promotor who is not licenced by the board and run these white collar shows can get insurance as long as they are prepared to pay huge premiums if they choose not to pay for these policies they must face the consequences of their actions should the worst happen because after all said and done they had the choice to insure properly or not to insure at all and they must stand or fall by their own decisions

But you don't with the amateurs so what's so different to the amateurs and white collar?
