Comments Thread For: Shields-Marshall, Mayer-Baumgardner Show Postponed Due To Queen Elizabeth II's Passing

Forced mourning would be if the government mandated events being cancelled. Sporting bodies have been told: it's up to you, do what you feel is best. So some sports are going ahead and some are being cancelled. Classy to say "**** the queen" though, as if it was her decision both to die and cancel the boxing. Newsflash, she didn't have a say in either thing.

The British Board of Boxing Control have made a decision aout what they thought was best and your beef is with them. Perhaps drop them an email and tell them: "I don't think you should show any respect to the passing of the longest-reigning sovereign. Moreoever, **** the Queen." Maybe they'll change their mind.

The "longest reigning sovereign?" What does that mean? She was the longest reigning monarch on paper. What did this woman rule over precisely?

i remember the world of sports stopping over the death of a 3 time felon whose pinnacle achievement was holding the gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman during the commission of a home invasion robbery

the world stopped and mourned

He was executed on the street without trial and jury. He was scum in his past but he served his time but the a hole cop didn't give him a chance to have his day in court on the possible new charges of passing counterfeit money.

What was your point on the to deaths?

There are some choice wankers on here. If it didn’t matter it wouldn’t matter you fools. Most of whom are either, not British or just young and dumb.
a boxing match is a boxing match to be had at anytime, Death comes once in a lifetime no matter who you are.
fact is, you disrespectful nobodies are exactly that where as she was a somebody her whole life and likely the most recognisable person the world over.
when it happens, Marshall by big ko.

It is just a match but the financial considerations are different than the EPL and other events.

Would the BBBoC have cancelled Fury vs Joshua? The cost of staging that event would dwarf this card...

Did they spend fortunes not allowing colored people to work as anything but servants in the royal household until the 1990's too?

The 60's actually but yeah, it was a thing that no black people were allowed to hold positions higher than service roles. Not sure how much it would have cost though, surely they just declared it a thing and that was that?

Can I be like one of the incel kids and call this “wokeness”? Did I get it right?

And if you're quote me multiple times at least add context in so far as what he's said as well when he literally said no one of colour was anything other then a servant within/around the royal family in the 90s which is BS, hence what I said, you really think he's read something from "academia" odds are he's read some blurb or fluff piece, he's not even "British" he's American just spewing an opinion he's read in some irrelevant magazine or some such.



Where did I imply being racist and slave trade inherently intermingled "who wasn't racist AND involved in slave trading" that doesn't automatically mean they're linked, though they often are, though let's not forget "Europeans" couldn't even get to beyond the coast of Africa for years because of diseases, so Africans were just as involved in the slave trade as anyone else.

And obviously I wasn't been literal, I didn't think you'd need to be a genius to figure it out...

You're right I'm not British which makes me hold no bias unlike you because the truth is there and I said up until the 90's you moron. It's all there in those hidden documents that corrupt monarchy held tight. I guarantee I'm more educated than you as well so nice try with your "academia" talk you bum ass boy. Now go run along to your council housing and continue your mourning.

Why would you cancel a fight just because a public figured died? No Soccer events have been canceled, right? Why couldn't they just hold a tribute to the Queen at the event?

A lot of people spent money on tickets, rental cars and hotels. Not to mention both fighters now have to regain their mentality and watch what they eat all over again.

Another problem is there are a lot of good fights between now through October, some of those fans probably have tickets and hotel stay for those now they would have make further arrangements.

I would just say screw it, give me my money back.
