Im sorry, Im the biggest boxing fan in the world (and involved in NZ Boxing) but for Duco to ask for taxpayer money so THEY can make a profit, is absolute bollox!!

I want JP to be having this in NZ more than anything, but something doesn't add up to me. Why don't they put it back a couple of months... are they hiding something??

Because Duco has the Auckland 9's on in February and the 10's (Rugby Union) in March. It would have been smart to work out a partnership with the government several years ago and build from there. Not the special event fund per se, but maybe go in with the Tourism Board.
