I have said I would fight away from home, anyone in the super featherweight division! I don't claim to be any kind of miracle in the ring but I try to give the public a fight they want to see! Can someone please answer this simple question? Why is it virtually impossible for me to be an active fighter?

saw the show got cancelled again Ronnie, need to get in with promoter somewhere , its brutall
no prospects will fight you as your winning ,

Ask your manager or promoter might be a start

Is the show in Paisley still on tomorrow? Carslaw not on it I see. I would like to see Clark v Micheal Roberts. 50/50 fight. Roberts is a nice boxer and Clark has the power. Would be a cracker.

Ronnie Clark v Michael Robert. Both Undefeated and Billy wont back down from a challenge

Over to Billy Nelson

Yeah Michael Roberts is a great fighter and also a great guy, we were training together for a while there and he has massive potential! I believe the fight has been talked about but not happening at the moment! I know i will not go anywhere fighting journeymen all my life hence the reason i say i will fight anyone! ANYONE around 9st6 or if weigh in day before i will do super featherweight! I know people wait till last minute to set up fights all in favour for the home fighter! Is this really the way the sport should be run?!

I hear what your saying mate, I like your attitude but its the Pro game and unless your a journeyman these days you have to see tickets. No1 is goni wanna go near you man. Your too dangerous. I like the fact you just wanna fight but, we need more of that. Am sure Dougie Curran, James Ancliff, guseppi DaDaprto would have have a go if you contacted them. Is that paisley show off tomorrow?

Yeah the Paisley fight night is off... I would fight as a journeyman and any of they names mentioned but I wanna fight people like sean watson, arran mckelvie or darren traynor, or anyone actually it's a fight sport so make it real fights!!!

So is super feather your intended division if you get proper notice for fights?
Get on twitter and batter messages to Eddie Hearn, try and get yourself on a future prizefighter.
Do well on that and it would raise your name a bit.

Yeah I would like to fight at super featherweight with notice for fights... I will try the twitter thing and see how that goes :) I always believed to be the best u had to fight the best! People gotta start taking risks! ;)

Out of interest why was the show cancelled?

I heard poor ticket sales and in the current financial state its hard to get sponsors on board with no tv at the show iv read before a promoter will tell boxers you need to sell at least 75 tickets at £30 = £2,250 to cover your wage and the away boxers wage or your not on the show ...and your wage is only £600 dont how much the away boxer gets ..that's for 6x2 or 4x3 and you need to pay your coach and manager from that

Jeff it says in Scotland's DAILY RECORD that you pulled out the show i don't think this is true but maybe you can clear it up maybe Carslaw pulled out because he has a bigger fight in a few weeks and they don't want to admit that so blamed you in my eyes that would have been a 50/50 fight and you train with his Old Scotland team mate KA

Carslaw was gutted show was cancelled. We certainly didn't pull him and as far as I know jeff didn't pull out.

That's a load of shite.... How you doing Colin b too

Was offered it about a week ago said yes and they then said that Gilmour turned me down then yesterday afternoon whilst I was at work they start again. I don't want to go into figures here but due to the notice I asked for what I considered a reasonable amount based on the fact that carslaw is a top ten fighter and I was getting asked to basically perform in an ill prepared state. They came back and said it was too much then I read this.

Carslaw looks a good fighter but I'm here to have proper fights with proper preparation. No disrespect to anyone obviously but with good prep I'd fancy my chances with anyone and I I'd certainly not be a walkover.

Colin, how did the boys from Paisley ABC get on who wer on your show this afternoon?
Was gonna go but decided to leave it so that i could go 2 the pro show instead, wrong decision there. Lol

Thanks for the reply Jeff and giving me/us an insight to what went down...

Is £3000 pound a sensible price for 6x3mins fight if its short notice?

I dunno as i have never had a fight over that duration!

I hear that people over price themselves instead of refusing the fight, is that common?

Lets be honest here boxing is not very honest is it?!

if you dont mind me asking did you get good money when you done 4x3 away from home

No i just got the same money away from home for 4x3mins? :s

Should i have got more money? Ha... I obviously got ripped off lol... Just as well i love fighting :P

Dont tell anybody but i am easily pleased ;) just being in the ring is enough to keep a smile on my face...

good attitude mate... Try telling that to the bank manager

I knows what your saying mate! So fill me in on fighting away from home, how much should i be asking for? Does anyone do shows where winner takes all? Is this an option in the fight game?

Depends on the fight and promoter mate you get quite a lot of different amounts.... The money was better in my first career though

You need to get the fight first before you ask for money ha
