[sumo] The ?Real? Reason London was Canceled

[Jezz]

I would suggest that even 'bad publicity' could be 'good publicity' as
far as the London koen goes.  Genuine sumo fans from the UK - and
Europe - would go anyway (these opportunities don't occur very often)
- meanwhile the press coverage would get the non-fan to go along to
see 'what all the fuss was about'.
