Has the likes of Mundine and Nasser destroyed Boxing in Australia?

Fair enough....and I understand what your saying now....sorry a bit slow today

Why do you think the casual new fans didnt take to Kats, Vic and others in 2006 - 2007 while Mundine was going strong?

 

Just watched a Paul Upham interview who says that if Mundine beats Margarito and Cotto next, then a Mundine - Mayweather fight will be viable. What great insight from an experienced journalist who I used to respect.

We have the most incompetent, idiotic, and ****-weak boxing media in Oz.

The pure amount of drivel these clowns come up with is simply mind-boggling. All Mundine has to do is fart and the media are all over it like a cheap suit. Seriously can we find some journalists who aren't completely spineless, and call it as they see it?? You'd think 99% of the boxing media are on the Mundine Green payroll.

 

I agree with this mate...I was trying to get the media interested in Alex V Travis and all they wanted to know about was what choc thought about state of orgin and SBW playing for the all blacks atsch the pres conference was all about footy :dead

 

you may be right but i hope your wrong.IMO he won 5 rounds against Mundine.probably more as Barry Michaels
having an orgasm every time Choc landed anything affected my opinion.1 of 3 judges scored it for Geale.2 of 3 who reviewed it with no volume scored it for Geale.Mundine ditched the belt which if you believe Mundine would of helped him secure the big OS fights hes after as he had a belt.i will not give up on Geale yet.

 

I think what OZ is tryn to say Stifler is Mundane has the gift of the gab, he could sell Sand to the Arabs his that good at spinning sht! but thats half of why the public love to hate him and hate to love him! its a great formula thats worked for him and i dont think he will stop anytime soon. Geal is too quiet, he cant bring the circus that mundane brings with him to the table. Geal is a quiet speaking guy who is very modest and down to earth, quite the opposite of mundane. The media love mundanes antics it gives them something to talk about and they know the public lap it up, its a vicouse circle that will only end when he hangs up the gloves imo.

 

The target market of the Khoder steered Mundine circus is not the boxing purist, or even the knowledgeable fight fan, Oz. It's a hybrid fan who's happy with a night amongst a noisy crowd and some 2nd rate ring action.

That's why the formula, though sadly lacking in most of the traditional key boxing ingredients, still brings in the $$$. Trouble is, as demonstrated by the other night, there are diminishing returns on the thickness of the mixture. You can only include so much **** to the mix before there's problems with the aftertaste.

 

I think the problem Oz is that alot of our up comers have been fed a diet of tomato cans which looks great for their records however when they come up against a good fighter or finally get a world title shot they fall short because they are not used to this calibure of fighter. I could mention names but i would offend to many people.

Good points about KT and Fenech m8, they never fought tomato cans and always had the public behind them 100%, when fighting the best in the world the country always gets behind our sportmen imo thats why mundane trys so hard to convince us all he is going after the best! he knows the public is slowly slipping away from his grasp.

I had hopes for Katsidis and Zappa, who knows m8 only time will tell. I think KTs son if he choses the path of boxing will be the next rising star to grace our television screens in the near future.

 

publicity needs money

 

possibly the first australian to win gold at the olympics if he contuines the path. he has the gene's and the right direction and gudieance from his father and from what ive seen of him he is a natrual.

 

I won't say they destroyed boxing because it was already in a sorry state.

Mundine may have gave it mouth to mouth but he is definitely leaving it in a worse state.
He seems to be milking it for all its worth like a few other fighters these days.
