Shitty Australian Boxing
-
My facebook feed has been full of people live streaming the fight. Seems like Foxtel is watching too, taking note of the names on the profiles and looking down their list of people who paid for the channel and bang they cut it off. Pretty stupid to do something like that with your name right next to it.

Quade's opponent looked like the school wimp. You coukd take him one handed. What a gutless fucker cooper is
He can only fight the bloke in the opposite corner. Boxing has no depth in Australia, so for your third fight, you're really only going to get some donkey. Cooper had a reach advantage and has spent a decade training as a professional athlete. What is he supposed to do?
The ref should have ended it earlier. It was clear McInnes wasn't boxing.

Exactly what is the point of these kind of fights? Is it the money or is there a genuine interest in having some kind of boxing career?
This would be like getting the world's best boxers (all of whom have some prior involvement with rugby) giving them a couple of months of intensive, elite training, then sending them onto the field to play against a team of Filipino cleaners.
In Kwades case he didn't even fight a donkey, but some kind of stillborn wombat.

They reckon Green and mundine pocketed 10 mill each ,
That is unbelievable given their standing in world boxing right now ,
they milked the Australian public beautifully with their supposed grudge ,
I know people who have seen them joking and laughing together .

10 million each? Did the fight really pull in that much?

You can tar SBW with that brush too to some extent. Joseph Parker would fuck his shit up, no two ways about it. It's genuinely like Parker deciding to have a season of Rugby, if he had a crack I could picture him being a more than useful blindside/No8/2nd five but his absolute limit would be Auckland club rugby at whatever level.

That's what they were aiming for , but have since heard it will not be that much, 6-8 ,
Second highest pay per view figures in Australia , second to Mundine green 1 .
Pretty sure Mundine geale , and Mundine soliman were 3 and 4 ,
Says everything about the marketing value of a villain doesn't it ?

Yep, Ali knew that better than anyone.
Still seems incredible that 2 40 year olds could bring in that kind of cash. Impressive.

There is no way they came even close to getting 10 mlll each. Lets do some basic maths.
28,000 watched live .. .average of what ... 100 a ticket maybe? Thats 2.8mm. Which leaves 17.2mm. It was 60 AUD a throw for the ppv ... so you'd need 290,000 orders of that, just to hit the purse for the main fight.
And this would mean no payment for Buffer, the venue, the undercard, security etc etc .
If they took 3mm each, I'd be surprised. Nobody gave a shit about this fight outside of Australia. -
