A note from Fui Mee
This week has been amazing! We, at MSA, have been so encouraged by your enthusiastic feedback of our show at the MEN Arena on Saturday. The hard work was all worth it to see the fantastic fights that night and the crowd enjoying, not only the agility and showmanship on display, but the great production surrounding it all.
We have been touched by the comments on this forum and numerous emails and texts we have received from so many of you – fighters, coaches, other promoters…. People have commented on how great it has been to see rivalries and politics set aside. This is so important as we, as a whole Muay Thai community, grow this great sport together in the UK. Over the past few months we have had the pleasure of getting to know many of you - at our media training days, at the Sport Relief Mile events and indeed this past weekend and have been impressed by such a fantastic bunch of warm people.
Swee Lip and I would like to thank all those involved. There are too many of you to mention all by name – the whole production and support team, those in the Public eye and all those behind the scenes, the fighters, coaches and gym owners…Thanks for your great attitude and the hard work you put into making our first big arena show such an enjoyable evening. Thanks to Grandmaster Sken for your support throughout - even missing a large part of the show to help sort out gum shields! We value your input and friendship. Pete and Michael - thanks for your great photos and enabling us to relive the action.
You will be able to enjoy more of the fights when the show is screened on Sky Sports probably in May. The DVD will be released just after that. Keep an eye on www.msapremier.com for further details.
Finally, a big thanks to Dan Green and Laura Doyle for organising the whole MEN event. Laura has worked with Swee Lip and I for close to 11 years and is a trusted colleague who is relishing her role working on these shows. Dan, no stranger to you, joined MSA last November having gained much experience throughout the UK promoting his shows. We wanted to take Muay Thai promotion to the next level and we are delighted Dan, that this your first Supershow with us, has been such a success.
To the fans of Muay Thai thanks for your ongoing support. We need this if we, as a community, want to raise the profile of the sport we love. Look forward to seeing you at ExCel London 29 May!
Thank You All
Fui Mee
