I should have known.
I pay for all my own travel and get paid for what I turn in. I also for the most part choose what to cover and then hunt for work based on my choices.
About two weeks ago I had to decide whether to go to London or Florida for MMA shows. At that time the London card was falling apart while the Florida one looked good so I got my plane ticket to Florida. Today I was calling fighters for previews and it turns out two of the Florida ones are out due to injuries while tow good ones were added to London. Now I would rather see London show but it is too late...somebody else is taking that assignment. So much for getting the cover shot this month.
