if ever there was a time for correct grammar and a more serious tone it's something like this.
and a few things are confusing. No one who pays dollars is staying up until (or 'till' as it says) 4am.
I've signed it.

Awesome will be signing, most important thing is we get the people in the sport knowing about it, if they start talking then maybe big journos like Dan Rafael will talk about it.

Also Sean Khans twitter could be the place to go, he has hundreds of thousands of followers and given he had a highly disputed loss a retweet from him could be massive....

That's why I suggested a fight is not won unless you knock the opponent out, but then I don't watch boxing anymore for this exact reason.

Awesome stuff Sean, I've spammed a few journos and boxers myself. Ricky Hatton usually retweets a lot but for some reason doesn't seem to be bothered by it.
I'm sure if enough of us started spreading this over Twitter it's going to help.

Good few of the guys have signed it over on Ringnews24 now, WelshDevilRob has also forwarded it on, he wrote '' Posted it on several other popular boxing Facebook pages/groups. Boxologist, Amato Sports Memorabilia, NoHoldsBarred, Bill Calogero (Billy C) and Amici Anne Flares.'' He had posted on their own facebook page for the site and the Welsh Boxing Group one already.

Not bad in a day, but yeah, not what i had hoped for. Problem is advertising. RT on Twitter have been great but would have been great if more people promoted on sites like you did. Look, it's a chance to say something, for fans to bond together; symbolism. I appreciate the sig, and we'll see what happens. Cheers!

Nice one knows it. Not as well as Ihad hoped i'm afraid, needs much more publicity and espon the evening of any robbery, which come fairly regularly.

Clev has agreed to fight a top boxer due tot his actually, as long as he gets to wear a head guard and the other fighter has 2000 ounce gloves on. Brave young Welshman.
