Wow wow wow firstly I'd just like to say I am in complete and utter shock as to what I am reading / hearing and to be told by my dad at 12 o’clock last night after I had just finished training (training for the fight may I add) that apparently he had been told I have pulled out the show without me being aware of that fact was complete news to me.

As you said Lee when I spoke to you and John Jarvis yesterday I was in the same position as you both not being able to get hold of Mark and still under the impression the show was going ahead. Truth be known I was actually out leafleting and collecting money for tickets at the time so why would I be doing that if I had pulled out?????

I have not come here for a slanging match with anyone and as I said to you last night Mark I extremely annoyed and disappointed with how you have dealt with this matter and can't believe you have told everyone that I have pulled out of the show when I quite clearly I hadn’t without discussing it with me first. I was completely unaware that my wife had emailed you expressing her concerns about my health, sleepless nights and stress in relation to the show with you being in Ireland but not for one minute did she say I had pulled out.

I am not falling out with you over this but I can’t believe that your email to everyone makes out that I had pulled out leaving you to carry the can which is a complete lie. Especially at the fact that you had not even spoken to me about it before telling everyone YOUR decision to cancel the show not MINE which is completely unprofessional.

I am not saying you have but on my part it feels like you have used this an opportunity or excuse to save face over the fact that your major sponsor pulled out of the show and the fact that you have been that busy with work commitments and in your own words “a little naive” to realise the seriousness of how much involvement on your part the show actually needed. I am not discrediting your input but I have more or less single headedly been carrying the can for this show which has completely taken over my life, work, well, everything at a major financial loss to myself personally and a major inconvenience to my wife my business partner and to myself for that matter, for a show that I originally got involved in for both my dad and yourself to help take the sport forward, to then be kicked in nuts like this is more than disappointing my friend. Not to forget the fact that I am fighting on the show also.

Whether you realise it or not you have made me out to be the bad guy in this and to make matters worse after me speaking to you last night I went home and gave my wife a grilling at 2:00am for something that clearly was not said. Yes she expressed her concerns to you about me not FIGHTING with all the stress for your opinion in confidence, but did not say I was pulling out of the SHOW.

I won’t lie in admitting that my head hasn’t been on the 100% on my fight as you well know, how could it be with all that is going on and I have not shied away from telling people that when asked, but why else would I train till daft o’clock at night (which my dad will also vouch for) and be giving out flyers and collecting ticket money only yesterday if I had allegedly pulled out????

I apologise to everyone who has had to endure this but I can assure you that I am just as stunned and shell shocked as you all to hear and read what has been said by Mark if not more so. The truth of the matter is I know Mark doesn’t want to let down or upset anyone due circumstances out of his control with his work commitments and being let down by people financially that has not allowed him to put maximum input into the show, but unfortunately Mark I feel that on this occasion that most important person, being me, you have let down in a big way.

Do you not realise that I have to continue work with these people who have been let down by you??? Who will want to work with me now???

I wouldn’t mind if it were true, bottom line is I feel you have panicked through stress and people letting you down and used my wife’s voice for concern as an excuse to lay blame and cancel the show. I have worked my ass off on this show working till all hours, training, selling tickets and marketing in the local area to be painted in a bad light by yourself. Can I ask what is it you have actually done and how many tickets or tables have you actually sold to try and salvage the show as you say??? The answer being none. I’m the only person that has actually sold tables, sold tickets and bared major expense out of anyone to then have this thrown back in my face is well and truly out of order. You have acted very unprofessionally in taking the responsibility on yourself to cancel the show without discussing it with me first regardless of what my wife emailed you (which wasn’t as you say) and made me out to be a let down to everyone which is completely unfair, unacceptable and untrue.

As far as I’m concerned the show is / was still going ahead I’m just not sure how its all going to pull together at this moment in time based on a few set backs. So if anyone has any suggestions, all help and support is needed to try and salvage this show.

If anyone wishes to contact me with ideas, suggestions or update feel free on 07776 137 389 or email ronniegreentribute@hotmail.co.uk. I will keep everyone posted asap and apologies for the inconvenience to all concerned. I hope between us all we can find away to pull this off. I appreciate those who have posted kindly and contacted me to voice there opinions already. Once again apologise to all.
