You would have thought a man that eats jellied eels would brave the haggis but clearly not, Kev's let me down. :-(

I agree with everything that he's said in the article.

It's time for a no-confidence vote in the Board. Not that it really matters, because the Board members unfortunately aren't elected.

Even the FA and FIFA hold elections. Albeit probably rigged ones :think

@Dinamita Yep spot on, Im hoping that this Luxembourg argument may force the board to reform and modernize, They are going to need o do something they have quite a few lawsuits coming there way by the sound of things.

I do find it slightly ironic that despite the argument it may be the bbbofc that ends up saving Franks bacon.

the board are no different to any other governing body. Jose Suliman president for life

How do you mean, Bill?

How do you mean, Bill?

Possible money from lawsuits, I mean it won't pay off all of his (alleged) debts but it could keep him going a while, the board has played right into his hands and being the cynical old bastard I am, I reckon Frank knew this would happen all along?

As much as fish eyes is abit of a cunt Robert Smith and the BBBOFC are a bunch of "dodgy" pricks(in my opinion). That shit with Jamie Cox fight, fuck all was done yet Smith bangs on about the integrity of the sport and how this has damaged it, guys a complete shit eater, the dodgy decisions and bent results do more damage and the board do fuck all about.

This Sport is so easy to hate as from boards, promoters, refs, judges it's full of corrupt motherfuckers not just in the UK, America and any place Boxing exists, it's a Sport that is rotten to the core. Now with these fighters failing drug tests, it almost makes you realise why the BBC and the big stations avoid the Sport. It's bent.

Pretty much how I see it. I still cringe at that interview on Ringside where Smith basically just says "What can I do about corruption?" *shrugs shoulders*

I agree.

Smith is happy to play the boss man when it suits him.... but like you say sorting out all the problems in boxing seems to be at the bottom of his priority list.

Having the Board paying the officials would be a start. Ian John Lewis openly admits that their salaries are paid for by the promoters. Absolute bollocks.

Obviously your main obligation is to your employer, who pays your wages......

I had high hopes for Robert Smith when he took over the reigns, being an ex-boxer I thought he would be a bit more clued up when it come to robbery's and corruption, sadly he like many others only seem to care about the sanctioning fee's and his hair, the whole way the board treated the Chisora incident reeked of amateurism and was about as unprofessional as you can get, Just ban the fucker, its all they needed to do.
