Waterman- Arrogance, plain stupidity or both?
Posted: 15 Dec 2005, 06:35
m is There is a bit of controversy regarding Maloney winning the purse bid as Fight Academy actually tabled the largest bid, of around £93,000.
However, the BBB of C disqualified that bid, saying Fight Academy's purse bid did not fulfil all of the rules and regulations.
The Board have a recent rule where a cheque for a percentage of the bid must be sent along with the bid. Fight Academy's bid arrived with no cheque but FA are arguing that they complied line-by-line with the Board's regulations as detailed on the BBB of C's website.
However, Fight Academy's Robert Waterman said: "I'll be speaking with the Board because I believe there has been an error here."
Waterman declined to comment further.
Read this on seconds-out, a website part owned by Waterman.
Once again this fool of a man has screwed up.
1. Fight Academy are not a licenced Promoter so how can they bid anyway?
:( :( :(
2. Dennis Hobson is a Promoter, Waterman is not in his own right, and it was Hobbo who put the bid in. Why would the BBBC want to talk to Waterman about it. It's nothing to do with him.
3. What error has there been? The instructions are perfectly clear and concise and included in all circulars sent out to all licenced Promoters. five recognised promters got it right and they didn't. A simple cheque for £1,000 would have seen Froch and Magee get a better payday than they now are and Hobbo would have got another TV date. DOH!
4. Questions;
a) Did they know their 'record' bid was not going to be accepted, hence the size of it? Make;'s them look like major players when really they are not.
B) Will they expose to fool at FA who cannot understand plain english and/or raise a cheque for a measley grand? Was it Poxon? Was it Waterman? or was it Hobbo himself?
c) How can they justify paying such large purses to two fighters they have no relationship with yet the likes of Clinton Woods and their other boxers are sitting on their hands waiting for dates?
d) Are Sky giving FA more money tha MH, BH and FM for Froch in an attempt to entice him away from MH?
e) With Sky paying so little how would FA make such a fight pay?
f) In making these comments is Waterman stupid, arrogant or both?
Food for thought, don't you think?
ADIOS
