There was money to finish the movie, but not enough. Now I'd say that there are a variety of publicans across north Manchester with whatever was left.

You are right and its such as pity as well because it could have been a good story as long as they kept it away from the cliched hackney angle which would he easy to . I would if there is even half an hours worth of footage that they could "cobble together" to make into a TV drama.

The stuff they shot is surely getting more stale by the day.

My Bro boxed Gomez in the ams and i was boxing on the same show as his son last year.

Brother gets a pic with him and reminds him that they fought, Gomez' mate took a another pic of them, all the details of the fight and said it was for the book.

Anyone else heard of a book?

Heard they were going to add to the ending of the film if he beat khan, seems now the tailer is all that will be!
