Lol <br /> The Chevy is a 1971 k 5 blazer . I bought it 22 years ago . It was junk . I did a frame off 5 years ago it is a blast . Shane is actually the only other person to drive it ( also 17 ) we built him a jeep same color and lift to match . They will bury me in that !

I do get protective when a friend is being attacked . When I was there as a fan , and saw the way the people reacted to the show and I saw all the fights . So I personally know it was a great show .and I'm sorry for saying this again but your personal experience has nothing to do with how the show went off .if a customer in a new home finds one thing wrong , they tend to look harder for more . Magee you were a little over the top .Michael the hammernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953369160015866134.post-76621702839783226512012-03-25T16:18:08.683-04:002012-03-25T16:18:08.683-04:00No it wasn't you with the camera , this guy ha...No it wasn't you with the camera , this guy had a green shirt with white letters and was on the fat side . With a dark sloppy beard.as for deny , Magee it doesn't belong on here but as far as should it be private , the people that read these sites expect a true and accurate revew , not one that was paid for . I may have tunnel vision here and I do like Gary and Linda . You guys had a bad experience with the way you were treated , I'm sorry that happened . Mike the owner of the jungle charged for parking , ( also my friend ) they were forced to build that parking lot a year or 3 ago after the CFX shows brought so manny people that the town shut it down untill they built that lot , added exit doors and stacks of shit houses out side the door .Michael the hammernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953369160015866134.post-58226467104413105572012-03-25T15:16:37.753-04:002012-03-25T15:16:37.753-04:00Also I've never paid for parking at any show. ...Also I've never paid for parking at any show. Never. However I have paid to attend MSAC meetings in boston, $35 bucks and that is not a dig at the commission, but it sucks. My comfort is never a reason to attend a show, the promotion never has to invite us and we never have to go which I hear you saying loud and clear. As far as folks like Rich O or TFT (Whomever they are: A funny thing is I know exactly who they are they just want to lie to peoples faces because they piss everyone off) throwing their two cents in in order to stay in the good graces of which ever promotion they haven't stung lately I have no interest in what they say. Rich is a professional photographer who charges for his photos most of the time and not Press at all so why does he feel the need to criticize me for my opinions. And Why does TFT feel that they can post clearly fictional portrayals and mock actual folks making a difference in the scene? As for Old School, he has our backs, writes extremely well, and has never once mentioned his fees for advertising or any other service which NorthEastMMA.net provides to the local promotions, fighters, coaches, fans, or media. All of that info is private in my opinion and I'm sure if you asked him before posting this here he would have probably rather you didn't as it has no bearing on the current topic being discussed. I however can say that I felt rather torn about having met you and your talented son at King of The Mat recently with a clear first impression that you were a decent guy. I also felt you may have been genuine when inviting me to come out your way and train at CCFA and spend some time talking MMA. However I can't help, but feel a bit apprehensive at this point because you either are confusing me with someone I'm not as stated in your post here about talking to a camera guy with a tripod (Not me in this case, I was wearing a Celtics Green WesternMassMMA.com t-shirt) and by your comments on NorthEastMMA.net trying to discredit me and my opinions. I am however a pretty understanding person and make it a point to listen to anyone's side of a story because that is the only way you either learn or make the appropriate choices. Be well and look for a few more of your sons bouts in the next couple of days as I get back to editing the King Of The Mat matches.

I didn't have a tripod and I unfortunately didn't have the opportunity to say hello to you at the CFX show. I had been crouched down next to the apron behind a corner post for the first three fights of the night until Security asked me to move to a press seat outside the vip area. Jere and I left directly after the Jen Rivera fight. So who ever the poor guy was that you wanted to kick in the dick it was gladly not me.Joe Leonardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953369160015866134.post-79647562498281066492012-03-25T13:29:24.471-04:002012-03-25T13:29:24.471-04:00you totally missed the point. they advertise the ...you totally missed the point. they advertise the parking fee. CFX does not...they also move people through the parking areas way faster not making fans and other people late by waiting in line a half hour just to park. Also what about the cancelled fights that were not let public??

SO I DONT UNDERSTAND THE THING ABOUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH . HE WAS ON THE RING APRON ! LOL I WANTED TO WACK HIM THOUGH FOR THE DICK LOOK HE GAVE ME WHEN I ASKED HIM TO MOVE . YOU ARE RIGHT WE ALL SEE THINGS FROM OUR ANGLE . I COULDNT SEE FROM MINE AS HE WAS IN THE WAY . BUT I WAS RESPECTFULL OF HIS JOB . WE CAN ALL WHINE ABIOUT SOMETHING . I GET IT WAS A LONG RIDE AND NIGHT . MY OPINION IS THAT THE FANS HAD A GREAT TIME , THE FIGHTS WERE MOSTLY GREAT , AND THE PROMOTER MADE SOME MONEY IM SURE . NO FIGHTERS HAD A PROBLEM AS FAR AS I KNOW , AS FAR AS THE MATCH MAKERS . I WILL SAY THIS , WHEN MY SON FIGHTS HIS FIRST FIGHT , WHO WILL MAKE THE MATCH ? THE PROMOTER , OR THE COACHES ? PAT AND MIKE ( LOCO LOBO ) WILL BE DOING THAT NOT THE PROMOTION . . THE WAY I SEE IT WORK IS THAT THE PROMOTER TRIES TO PUT THEM TOGEATHER . HE SHOOTS FOR THE STARS AND LANDS ON EARTH . THEY ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE FIGHTERS , COACHES , COMMISION .......... 10 PARKING , EVERY WERE YOU GO YOU HAVE TO PAY , NAGA , RED SOX , PATS , .... THATS PETTY BULL. THE ARTICLE WAS NOT ABOUT THE FIGHTS , FIGHTERS ANYTHING IT SHOULD BE ABOUT . WE ARE HERE TO MAKE THIS SPORT BETTER . NOT HAVE A BITCH FEST BECAUSE SOMEONE WASNT COMFORLABLE . THERE ARE REPORTERS GETTING SHOT AT NOT PISSING LIKE THIS . I KNOW DENY ( OLD SCHOOL ) IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY . BUT I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE MORE THAN THAT . I DONT GO ON HERE AS I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS OUT THERE UNTILL KING OF THE MATT . I WILL KEEP LOOKING TO SEE SOME OF YOUR STUFF .

We all have different opinions on various topics and everyone is allowed to have their own. We couldn't see at CFX and couldn't write a proper review, that is all. Joe gave his opinion on Jenn, that is all. People don't have to agree, he was just writing what he felt. we try to cover all of the events and do not get compensated for any articles/review.
