Yeah, it was on Facebook.....ok.....BUT NO WHERE ELSE!! As for promoters, all three of these guys are a joke, however, as for performance planning, Colon did have some nice things in place at the show. The walk in stage was sweet, the ring was great, and the intermission live music was a nice touch. (too many damn songs though!!). Besides the crowd the nasty ass ring card girls (who dressed them up like 15 year old sluts?) were a distraction. The ONLY person that made that night somewhat entertaining was your ring announcer...you better pay that guy FIRST because he was awesome! Anyway, decent show but lousy promoting....doubt you will ever do another show in the South. The real question here was “Where was the promoting?” Yeah, it was on Facebook…..ok…..BUT NO WHERE ELSE!!

Alex Brown no longer works for me and I wish him the best. Poppy has been great with me in my dealings with him but after the fights on Oct 2 I had tried to reach him twice. The tension between Paj, Alex and Poppy is not my concern and I hope the 3 of you work things out. the only thing I care about at this point is the money I invested into the show. Poppy, please give me a call as Paj has no ownership in Lights Out Promotions this is Vladimir, owner of LA Boxing Roswell-Alpharetta and LA Boxing Marietta.

That has nothing with me and if you were such a great promoter you would have known it had to be that way. As far as me not doing shit I was your fucking lapdog for two months filled with empty promises, I even quit my job because of your promises. Are you going to pay my rent or my child support? Doubt that one. Also I gave nothing away for free! If I remember correctly it was you who were cursing at the counter about the amount of tickets that someone else had given away for free. Or would you like to ask the six girls that were standing right there listening? As far as paying people that night, I did ask for permission and your partner knew all about this, as well as him getting money from the ticket sales to pay another individual that night. Then I gave you all of the cash that was left over. So if you wouldn't mind manning up for your own screw-ups that would be nice or you can do what you do best and blame everyone else. Nonetheless it was a great show, but you didn't make it happen all by yourself big man. The fighters may be getting paid, but what about all of the other guys. Answer that one and I'm not even talking about me cause I don't want shit from your crooked ass. I should have listened to every other promoter that I know and stayed the hell away from you.
