Surprise surprise Fury v Wlad is off again. Knew this was coming as a guy I know lives near him and word is he hasn't trained a day since this was announced again. His head and heart have gone and all the brass has gone to his nut, pity as he may have got drilled this time.

People are finally seeing through this unsavoury lot !

If madam turns up do you think Elton will do a special performance of "The Bitch is Back".

Post of the day

Didn't know Peterborough was a city and with a pop of c190k as well. Always thought it was smaller than Blackburn for some reason, plenty potential for Posh there then.

Anyway back to Elton I think he'll sell out down there but not sure about up here. Anyone know what the capacity will be for this gig ?

Venkys again ! Gave us Coyle when we could have had Warnock now they give us Elton when we could have had Maiden !

Venkys Out !

Someone said Iron Maiden are touring UK next year so sack Elton off and give him an NDA.

Elton out, Maiden in !!!

Absolutely thrilled at the news that the old Apollo cinema will be refurbished and reopened as a cinema with a restaurant and coffee bar. Love that building, saw the first Harry Potter there!

Great news. They had a similar old cinema in Chorley which stood empty for years and years then they flattened it so place hasn't had a cinema since god knows when. So many things they could have done with it.

His voice isn't what it was imo.

Was dragged to see him in Manchester by an ex a few times about ten years ago and although not really a fan I thought he was really good. Voice was noticeable even then but for a live artist he still sounded ok although it was in Manchester Arena or whatever it was called at the time. Not sure how he'll come across in an open stadium.

Originally named 'The Mary Louisa Suite' after his mother. Now re-named?

The Old Man Of Pune Suite ?

It could be the first time Jacks old suite will have been used in about 3 years if they turn up !

BJS has really irritated me though his blatant inactivity, cradling his title, unwillingness to fight triple G, and all the social media BS on IFL TV.

Agree. He's a good fighter but he's played the fool over GGG asking for daft money when most would have fought him for nowt. He'll never get the type of money he was first asking for he's virtually unknown outside UK and holds the least regarded belt.

Can't believe he's got away with not being forced any mandatories or giving anyone else a shot to keep himself active and earn a few quid. As dicks go he falls right in with the Eubanks who he constantly slags off, ducked that rematch as well by saying he was after triple G. Stalling tactics all around.

Mind you he is Furys pal..............

Late budget cuts by the loons will mean no floodlights just a candle in the wind on Reg's piano and they'll cancel his backing band and loan a couple of young artists in for the night instead !

Tickets in Leeds start at £57, up to about £100, so he'll need to bring a few, unless the scum are subsidising the poor people of Blackburn. Strange choice for him. Biggest crowd potentially for ages.....

Will the cruncher open the BBE upper tier though that's the big question......

I believe the attendance will be 10,696

How many will Elton bring though ?

I remember him in tears at Turf Moor as they taunted him with : "where's virsace gone? F#Ing Elton John"

Unless it's grown as a myth.

If it's from Turf Moor odds on it's a complete myth

Eltons the biggest diva in pop music, disrupt one of his concerts at your peril

If he was a true football man he'd refuse to play a stadium owned by club wreckers.

I think he died from embarrassment, or food poisoning.......

Maybe his reward for helping open those shops was a share in Rovers and now he's kicked back in Brunei and never had to work since as the Rovers royalties roll in

Acorn ate some of that chicken after opening those shops and has never been seen since.

A nice way to calm the natives after we've dropped into league 1 maybe ?

Deliberate ploy from both camps to ramp up interest and make more money from the fight further down the line. In my opinion of course.

Could be although they signed to fight a while back supposedly with both allowed a warm up which is why they let Khan have a go. Most sources say that Golden Boy reneged on the agreement so GGG gets his money spinner Khan type fight and Alvarez gets the Smith gig in front of his own fans on Mexico day. Both lucrative and both only medium risk.

Yep all about the money again probably. If they are going to fight its still going to be a while off as Golovkin has mandatory next and they'll want that WBO belt as well I think. BJS should be stripped of that for doin nothing.

Other than triple G I can't see anyone stopping Alvarez at the min. Was of the opinion he was a bit overated once over but he's developing into a top notch fighter although I still have a pic of Floyd schooling him in mind.

Poor form they keep ducking Golovkin but he's golden boys cash cow so expect a few more of these mismatches for Canello.

I think you knew deep down it was always going to happen, if you're honest with yourself.

Yes.

Canello must walk around at about 13 stone he's a beast. Easy saying now of course but I did feel it was a tad too early for Smith to take this on.

About 3am.

So Alvarez v Smith comes up next and another cracker in store I reckon. Smith should be a good test for Canelo and he has the tools to pull it off. Hard seeing past the Mexican though on his biased home turf and him having an impressive cv apart being schooled by Floyd.

How he isn't a SMW i'll never know he's huge on fight night and I'd be inspecting those scales really close if I was Gallagher. Reminds me of Steve Collins in his pomp and not just because he's ginger.

Come on Liam lad.

Hall started really slowly. Gifted the first 4 or 5 rounds to Haskins. Thought he did well to get back in it and personally thought the scorecards didn't reflect how close it was in the end.

Cheers.

Thought so judging by the reaction in the arena at the decision, always seems to be Halls problem that.

Have a great day Tomps.

Cheers pal twas a grand day out. First time at the O2 and very impressed apart from having to drink Becks Vier and paying 4.50 for a bag of crisps !

What a brilliant venue it is for boxing though, surely go on to be Englands version of Madison Square Garden

Any opinions on the Hall v Haskins fight would be greatly appreciated as I missed the first half of it stuck in a que for toilets then the bar. The bit I saw Hall was clearly on top and there was derision in the crowd at the verdict. He's had a few unlucky points losses Hall from what I've seen it's almost like judges don't like his style or something.
