Boxing on.......

whaleoil.co.nz

has a interesting piece on the possibility of evidence being fabricated being presented by Winston last night.....

it was a memo from Marco Marinkovich - the same marinkovich that was caught up in a boxing fundraising scandal back in 2003
From tvnz archives


The Trust's acting chairperson Marco Marinkovich says Lonergan's payout was a deserved cut.
"The poor bugger earned his money, he worked his arse off for it. If we spent $375,000 to save the lives of a few kids that's a fair price to pay."
But Marinkovich says the Trust will review publicity about how the money is spent.
The Fundraising Institute accused the Trust of a lack of transparency in presenting the figures with president Diane Armstrong saying expenses across a range of fundraising methods should average 24%.
Armstrong says costs of 50% can be justified for complex events but the Trust should have revealed all the facts and allowed the public to judge.
She says the institute advises that charities avoid percentage-based fees for people working for them. The event will go ahead again this year.

This was also the same Marco Marinkovich who ran the advertising campaign for Winston during the 1996 and 1999 campaigns.
