As the fight on 11th December 2008 was
a mandatory defense there was not a
rematch clause in the contract. As such
any rematch would only happen if the
fighters management and promoters agree to
holding one and as is the way with big
title fights these days that means that a
television network would need to take up
the fight for broadcasting.
To achieve this it is necessary to
ensure that the television networks and
promoters are kept constantly aware of
just how exceptional this fight was and
that the public want a rematch.
The best way to do this is by people
keep talking about it, for the media to
keep publishing comments about it.
KEEP THE FIGHT
ALIVE
Boxing Fans
One of the best ways to do this is via
message
boards - start discussion subjects
that involve Cunningham vs Adamek. or
question when there will be a rematch. If
possible always try to have Cunningham vs.
Adamek in the title. - But don't flood the
boards or we could find ourselves
alienating other users. If possible
include one of the banners at the bottom
of this page which can be downloaded for
uploading to the boards or via our server
at
http://wewantarematch.com/

Also post on Versus, ESPN, HBO and
Showtime on-line
message
boards
I have compiled a list of message
boards just
follow this link. If you know of any
other boards please let me know.
There is now a downloadable version of
the Petition.
Please download it
here and take it to your local gym and
get everyone to sign it. Once completed
either scan and e.mail it back to me at
rio@wewantarematch.com
or e.mail me for a postal address.
Write to boxing magazines asking when
will there be a Cunningham vs Adamek
rematch.
Register on our
message
board and at least make one posting -
believe it or not if the message board has
a very high membership showing and steady
usage it will make the networks sit up and
take notice.Traffic at this site is very
important for the campaign as it is a
visable evidence of support.
There
is a page of comments made by some of
those that have signed the petition -

Journalists
Keep the fight alive within the media -
a couple of example of how to do this
below, but I am sure you will have more
creative ways (-;
Request interviews with Steve 'USS'
Cunningham and Tomasz 'Goral' Adamek and
discuss the first fight and ask when there
will be a rematch.
As often as possible use the first
fight as an example within the context of
articles.
Website Owners
We have banners download one and link
to
http://wewantarematch.com/
- If you do so please send me a banner or
link and I will add it to the sponsors
page - The more these banners are seen the
more people we can attract to the
campaign. The quicker we will get a
rematch.
DIRECT
LOBBYING
To this end we have prepared a petition
which will be sent to the television
networks and the promoters once an
adequate amount of 'signatures' are
received.
Petition
I would ask that you 'sign' your name
to the petition - for reference I request
your e.mail address so I can confirm that
it is a genuine e.mail address these will
not be posted on the petition just your
name and city. - which will be sent to the
TV networks and the promoters for both
Steve 'USS' Cunningham and Tomasz 'Goral'
Adamek. To sign
petition click here.
Contact - Promoters and Television
Networks
If you prefer to make direct contact to
voice your opinion Showtime have supplied
a link to a comments page which I have
been assured that nay messages will get to
the correct person. I will try and get
contact details for other networks and the
promoters. I already have their e.mail
addresses but feel it would be wrong to
blythely post their day-to-day business
e.mail addresses.
SHOBOX - CONTACT.
Showtime are considering supplying a
specific e.mail address. In the meantime
they ask that you post through their
on-line contact page. Just click on the
showtime banner below and it will take you
right there.

SUGGESTIONS
If you have any other suggestions on
ways of highlighting the campaign please
e.mail me at
rio@wewantarematch.com
BANNERS
Please add our banners to your website,
myspace, facebook etc.
Below are the banners created at this
time - The large one can be resized to
suit - I will create further styles and
sizes to add to these.
