There are some other little tidbit’s that have not been mentioned here as of yet.

The last CAKMA fight card which was held on the Tsuu T'ina Indian Reserve just outside the city limits. Had to be held there due to the constant meddling of the Calgary Boxing and Wrestling Commission and undoubtedly some of its members, just out of reach of there underhanded campaign. It is sad that it had to come to this for everyone involved. But nonetheless it had to be this way to enjoy this exciting, but currently threatened sports event.
The final incident that really put this whole conflict of interest mess into perspective for me. And subsequently led me to really question the motives of the Calgary Boxing and Wrestling commission. Was the advertisement put in the local paper, the day prior to the fight card. It clearly stated (on page 8 of the Calgary Sun, if memory serves me correctly) that the commission was not liable for any of the proceedings and from the wording wanted readers and fighters alike, to believe that this may not be a safe environment for the spectators and participants. It also stated that the Commission was not sanctioning the card.
I was personally outraged as a Calgarian that my tax dollars were misappropriated for this unwarranted and useless public announcement. The only purpose served by this, was to try one last time to poke a finger into the eye of the promoters. I would be quite interested to find out just how much of "our tax" money went towards this scare tactic.
I'll bet it wasn't cheap!
If you truly had no jurisdiction, then why did you guys even bother to make any statement? Oh and don’t bother trying to tell me it was for legal reasons because I don’t believe that for a millisecond. All the past undermining leads me to believe otherwise.
I am left to believe the only reason that makes any sense to me is spite. Vindictive spite, hiding behind legal mumbo jumbo to try and discredit the promoters the participants and the First Nations Band involved in holding this fight card. A desperate and pathetic gesture at best.

You readers might also be interested to know that another Kickboxing and MMA card held the following week - end went on totally unencumbered by you fine folks at the Commission. In fact in the very same daily paper it was advertised quite blatantly that it had your complete and utter support. Oh did I mention that the promoters of this card are on much friendlier terms with D.B. and his flock of sheep.
I read several; no make that a whole lot of post by the perennial loudmouth Mr. Brackenberry. Supporting this card and defending any and all cynic’s who posted anything derogatory about this event. No doubt he would have gladly shouted its virtues from every rooftop in the nation if given the chance.
It made me wonder if he was getting a percentage of the gate.
Too bad we couldn't get him on board for our petition.
We could use someone with his affliction: diarrhea of the mouth.

As a Calgarian, a taxpayer and a MT fan I am going to be the first to call for the total dissolution of the Calgary Boxing and Wrestling Commission. Your reign of terror needs to come to an end.
Mr. Boswell, You remind me of Richard M Nixon, denying any misstep till the bitter end, while full of paranoid delusions of grandeur to boot. There is something corrupt going on here. As you and yours are so fond of saying "it's not rocket science".
The fact is that Mr. D.B. is totally unwilling to answer his detractors and foolishly arrogant enough to take the posture of "I don’t have to tell you anything, you’re not boss over me."
That say's to me that there is some seedy society of old boys trying to promote their own brand of fairness. Not a public openly fair commission concerned with the promotion of "ALL" combative sport’s in Calgary.

BTW Don I didn't see you at Reserve Judgment.
But did see you a few weeks later at the Red and White Club for your pet sport Boxing. Standing at center ring smiling for photo opportunities and helping promote boxing while spouting accolades for the fighters, trainers and special guests. Why won’t you do that for a CAKMA card Don?
Never mind Don, we don’t want to see your fashion statement of a plaid shirt and jeans.
On another personal/ professional note Donny, I've only met you once in person, while trying to purchase a pair of boxing gloves as a birthday present for somebody. Upon entering your store and revealing my affiliation with National Kickboxing your demeanor changed significantly. It was a bitter enough experience for me to never set foot in your business again. This occurred years before I knew any of the B.S. that goes on behind the scenes between you and Kickboxing/Muay Thai promoters affiliated with Mr. Miles.

I will admit that Mr. Miles is not the easiest guy in the world to get along with sometimes and he can be pretty unapproachable sometimes. But to his credit he has at least done more for kickboxing in Canada in a month, than you have during your entire tenure on the commission.
I'm sorry to tell you that the only honorable thing that you have to do that would bring credibility and integrity back to the commission would be to step down.
Resign from your position and prove your commitment to the cities fighters and their respective sports.
Would you do that Don?
Please?

Because I agree with a growing number of sport fans in this city, and now around the world that you are a malevolence that needs to be eradicated.
