Hypotheticaly speaking.....lets say,

Mike approaches the Edmonton boxing commission to hold an amateur MT event in Edmonton and is told by the commission that major extra expenses would need to be paid to the commission to sanction the event because they did not at that time recognize the Canadian Muay Thai Councel - Amateur (CMTC-A) as the sanctioning body.

Mike is appalled and develops bad relations with the Edmonton board.

Then, the Edmonton fight fans speak up and start asking the Edmonton commission questions as to why Calgary can hold these events and Edmonton(BTW is the capital of Alberta) cannot.

Edmonton MT fans develop bad relations with the Edmonton commission.

The Edmonton commission takes aggressive action to so call level the playing field and conspire with the Calgary commission to shut him down there as well.

Of course now.....no one would ever admit to such inside political B.S.

This is just my personal thoughts on the matter and would gladly accept a differant explanation as to why this is happening in Calgary.

If anything....I think Don was letting the events happen because of his love for the sport and someone higher than himself(from the Calgary commission)informed him of the issues going on in Edmonton and was possably ordered to shut it all down.......again please........this is just some of my thoughts...I am not claiming to state any facts here....just things I am thinking.

Good luck to Mike and all of Nationals fighters that they get what they aspire and deserve for all their hard work to make MT possably in Canada.
