																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																																		 <p>Poor tickets sales due to the recession have forced <a title="Irish Ropes Ltd." href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=Irish+Ropes+Ltd." >Irish Ropes</a> Promotions to cancel their St. Patrick&rsquo;s Eve Erin Go Brawl II show at the <a title="WaMu Theater (New York)" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=WaMu+Theater+(New+York)" >WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden</a>.</p> <p>The card was also meant to be the next stage for <a title="Irish Ropes Ltd." class="informLink" href="/topics?topic=Irish+Ropes+Ltd." >Irish Ropes</a>&rsquo; career after its acrimonious split from <a title="Derry (County Derry)" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=Derry+(County+Derry)" >Derry</a> fighter <a title="John Duddy" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=John+Duddy" >John Duddy</a>, and the cancellation has left the future of the company unclear.</p> <p>In a press release last Friday, Irish Ropes outlined the reasons for the cancellation. &ldquo;This was a very difficult decision to make but ticket sales were way off compared to two years ago when the economy was much better here and back in <a title="Ireland" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=Ireland" >Ireland</a>,&rdquo; Irish Ropes Promotions president <a title="Eddie McLoughlin" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=Eddie+McLoughlin" >Eddie McLoughlin</a> explained.</p> <p>&ldquo;We apologize for any inconveniences, especially to all of the boxers who worked so hard to prepare for their fights.&rdquo;</p> <p>Though Irish Ropes made a business decision to cancel the show, there is no doubt that numerous fans are now making a trip to <a title="New York" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=New+York" >New York</a> for nothing, not to mention the 20 odd fighters on the card who went through their paces getting into fight condition.&nbsp; Though <a title="Eddie McLoughlin" class="informLink" href="/topics?topic=Eddie+McLoughlin" >McLoughlin</a> acknowledges all of this, the potential financial loss, he says, was just too much of a hit.</p> <p>&ldquo;We apologize wholeheartedly. If I had even thought that there was a chance that we could break even or even lose $100 000, I would have gone with it. But the facts are that I stood to lose $200,000 on this, and I had no contract on any fighters to potentially make it up down the road,&rdquo; McLoughlin told the <a title="The Irish Voice" href="/searchresults?searchKeywords=The+Irish+Voice" >Irish Voice</a> Monday.&nbsp;</p> <p>&ldquo;All that was gone was about 1,500 tickets from 5,000, and it wasn&rsquo;t going to get the jumpstart to bring it up to about 3,000 to get even.&nbsp; I didn&rsquo;t think we were going to get the walk up that we needed to break even here.</p> <p>&ldquo;That is the element of risk you take with these fights. We had no TV and we were depending solely on the ticket returns.&rdquo;</p> <p>Breaking the news to the boxers on Thursday was not the easiest call McLoughlin has made. &ldquo;They weren&rsquo;t too happy, but they were appreciative that we gave them as much time as we possibly could,&rdquo; he said.</p> <p>When McLoughlin was asked if Irish Ropes has a future as a going concern he replied, &ldquo;Well, we have to wait until the economy gets better. I&rsquo;ll still be keeping my license, but I won&rsquo;t be doing any show in the short term.</p>
