im privvy to the full picture more than most. i was at the event, ive spoken to both sides via telephone, ive seen the email, and ive read all of the threads. it was even myself who was accused of having the prime seat that should have been afforded to the UKBP representative.Deserter wrote:Those of us who have been privvy to the 'full picture' know that Ben has been stitched up.

Rhino, you're clearly entitled to your opinion and you know me well enough to know I'm not partisan on this one. However, from what you've written it clearly implies you haven't seen some of the correspondence I've seen - I should make it clear I haven't written that in a manner to claim some sort of privileged 'insider' status, rather just as a statement of fact.rhino222 wrote:im privvy to the full picture more than most. i was at the event, ive spoken to both sides via telephone, ive seen the email, and ive read all of the threads. it was even myself who was accused of having the prime seat that should have been afforded to the UKBP representative.Deserter wrote:Those of us who have been privvy to the 'full picture' know that Ben has been stitched up.

in my humble and ill informed pathetic opinion, UKBP are at fault here, they instigated a fall out with a reputable promotional party, they made false accusations and allegedly accused FM of being a liar!. they have attempted to grovel their way back into favour, they also let down one of their (ex?) writers with fictional complaints on her behalf (surely she is then entitled to back her corner up with her own statement)
Frank Maloney is a decent man, christ, he has traded crap with the likes of don king over the years so why should a couple of 'small time charlies' bother him, he has looked after the heavyweight champion of the world for a considerable period of time. what i do know is that, despite the internet flare up, UKBP could have continued. All Frank wanted was the whole truth to be aired for people to make up their own mind. Frank is not a grudge bearer and equally he is no liar. But UKBP decided to 'edit' the evidence and then when the cluedo game reached its climax they pulled the plug to delete all evidence.
personally im going for.... miss nield, in the press seats, with a notepad.
i echo what others have said, UKBP should return, but without the forum.
i am, ive had enough. ill do as i was advised too.thepocketrocket wrote:No, no, no ,no more Lawyers and threatenings of Libel!!lol

Oliver Stone has snapped up the rights to this sensational whodunnit mystery, and is due to start principal photography next month - the script is already being worked on now by the Hollywood ace, Joe ( friday 13th part 9 )Eszterhas.
Danny DeVito is rumoured to be set for the Maloney role.
Sly Stallone is signed on for the Ben Carey role.
Sharon Stone and Demi Moore are both desparate to play the pivotal Suzanne part..
And Spud Woolat is going to be C.G.I, animated in a similar manner to Shrek, but with a larger head.
This could be be a roller coster ride of a movie.
You're quite right, and mistakes have clearly been made, but those mistakes were far from 'hanging' offences, that's my only point.DavidPayne wrote:I am now privvy to the 'correspondance' and it does change the perspective somewhat.
Still some big lumps of sugary naivety in this storm in a tea-cup.
I think Spud may be the first boxing figure to transcend the sport. In a way only Ali and Tyson could match.
