New developments in Nova Scotia
By Zach Arnold | March 28, 2006
Tuesday night is when the Halifax City Council debates Councilmember Bob Harvey’s plan to ban MMA in the city. CBC Nova Scotia has more on the story. In the article, Harvey admits that he has received over a dozen e-mails since his proclaimation last week of trying to ban MMA in the area.
Meanwhile, The Chronicle Herald reports that Acura car dealer Bruce Hill is going to promote his first boxing show at the Halifax Forum on 4/13, two weeks before the scheduled 4/29 MMA event at the building. In the article, Monty Mosher states the following:
The timing of the boxing show appears suspect, coming only 16 days before a mixed martial arts contest will be held at the Halifax Forum. That event appears destined to sell out.
Hill said he’s been working on his promotion for nearly a year and is unconcerned by the Extreme Cage Combat production.
