Come on, Leeds are an RFL member club and the hosts for the weekend. They absolutely have the ability to promote this event to their membership and sell tickets for it. The RFL certainly aren't stopping them, even if it's not via the regular home ticket sales website then on a similar basis to away games.
They put more effort into promoting the boxing that was on than they have into this. Hell I've had more emails from them about ***ing netball than this event.
They are not hosts for the weekend, Leeds Rhinos are nothing to do with Summer Bash, it is a rented stadium, simple.
Leeds promoted Josh Warrington as a Leeds lad and Vice President of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, more than the actual boxing event and they never actually sold the tickets, just put a couple of articles out about how to buy them. Leeds Rhinos Netball are a part of the Leeds Rhinos entity therefore they are always going to promote them.
Summer Bash is nothing to do with Leeds Rhinos, and the staff frankly have enough to do.
