Boxxer and especially Ben Shalom need to quit bellyaching. They know they have promoter's insurance to cover all of the losses and damages that were incurred from the postponement of their event.

Bellyaching? The article quoted him lamenting the burden put on the fighters and the fans more than anything else.

I agree, there's certainly more important things than boxing or sports in general. That said, but a rich person dying isn't one of them, ( granted the Royals are only rich because of the hard work of tax payers, their basically living of welfare while looking down on those hard working people that support them) people die all the time, while death is sad and hard, it shouldn't be shoved down people's throats. If people want to grieve, they can do it on their of own private time, the whole wall to wall coverage on every channel is ridiculous, for people who do absolutely nothing for it's country or it's people other than take their money and come out on a balcony and waive.....

After washing all of this Queen worship the last few days, I don't want to hear about y'all making fun of North Koreans and how they worship the Kims like gods.

I'm not a royalist. At all. But if you are going to comment you might as well do so from an informed point of view. The amount of tax revenue that comes in from tourism inspired by the Royals would go a long way to offset government expenditure on them. But even if you would take an abstract view that the Royal family are entertainers for the serfs, then they are good value for money, as much as any other entertainers anyway.

If there is wall to wall coverage shoved down people's throats then that is probably filling a demand - there's always an off button. Nobody forced Boxxer to cancel - their choice, made out of respect.

Also the diamonds the Queen stole and the people she had killed on countries you have never been to. SO.....
