"The Filipino American who was funding the trip to the USA for us to play the two matches back out from the contract that was signed. I was told from reliable sources that ticket sales were slow and they didn't want to do it again. Everyone lost including the organizers, the owners of the Infernos, PFF and the USVI. It cost money to prepare and he and his company did not live up to the contract. The match against PFF was sanctioned by FIFA, CONCACAF and USSF."
Comment about Interaksyons article : "But members of the team did not get on flights originally booked for them by organizers. The team supposedly asked the Philippine Football Federation and the promoters to shoulder the cost of a charter flight for the team, a demand which was refused."

US Virgin Isl : It's not correct.......the flights were never booked it is publicity gimmick that there trying to make it seem we never made the flight. During the negotiations we ask for 50% of our appearance fee to cover our airline tickets. They refuse to send the money and when it was time to purchase the tickets all kind of excuses came up. Bottom line is the promoter made money from ticket sales then he cancel the matches. Only person who made money is the promoter and the PFF lost big time because they paid $100k to travel to the USA. Inferno owner lost big also because the promoter pulled out before the match on August 11, 2012 and he had to fund everything.
