Comments Thread For: Haye vs Chisora: British Board Backs Off Their Threat!

BIGPOPPAPUMP

The British Boxing Board of Control had an embarrassing climb down today - withdrawing its threat to automatically terminate all of its members’ licences if they participate in the Haye v Chisora fight.

I still take the Board’s threat to call me to account for my role in the fight as Dereck Chisora’s manager as unlawful. The Board seems to have pre-judged the issue without hearing the point of view of any of its members and this is just wrong. I intend to issue proceedings next week and will support all other licence holders who feel intimidated into not participating in the Haye v Chisora promotion. [Click Here To Read More]

Damn right, what were they thinking? They really should have acted more carefully before issuing half arsed threats to everybody involved.

Here's the statement detailing their pathetic U-turn:

The BBBC made a mistake by just taking away Chisora's licence instead of imposing a ban. If they had give him a ban this fight wouldn't be taking place in the UK.

good news. I was wondering....without Warren exactly how many fights would the Board be sanctioning?

Seems like they'd be out of a lot of money losing the opportunity to hold his events with his fighters, and at the same time be caught in a long term lawsuit.
