"no doubt you try poach fighters from every show you attend"

No Bridie, absolutely, definitely not! If you knew anything about me there'd be one thing for sure you'd learn and that's i have very strong principles in everything i do. I've got no need to poach fighters, my website and facebook group bring in at least one fighter application per month. I personally don't have any fighters, all fighters are free to fight for whoever they want, it's no drama to me. How i match make is simple: A boxing gym in Newcastle has around 18 active fighters, and another gym in glasgow matches the fighters we have. It's basic stuff. No need for poaching at all. My next show a local gym is putting forward 12 fighters, and the matchmakers are gyms in Glasgow and Manchester, then we reciprocate by sending fighters their way. We do this with 3 different 'organisations' at present, equalling over 20 independent clubs/coaches all helping each other. Again, why poach?

Secondly, you're like a bloody PR machine for the EBF, give it a rest. I noticed that you haven't commented on my 'reasons' for my comments - ie the charity night i almost lost! Why don't you ask Spencer, you know him so well. Ask about why 2 fighters were not allowed to fight on my show to help raise money? If you want the boxers names i'll even give you them (reluctantly) by email, as long as you make it clear that the boxers are unaware about this thread as i wouldn't want them to jeapardise future income from EBF bouts.

I've said it over and over, obviously the EBF works for you and that's good, but the fact that my show was threatened leaves me with a bitter taste.
