Mundine v Waters announcement presser this Weds 28th.

'Fair to good local fight' isn't the same thing as 'bad fight'.

If you think it's a bad fight, as you've stated above, why defend it?

 

Most of us hope Waters does himself proud Jet, and many hope he wins.

Big picture though, is anyone who pays for it, only helps ensure Nasser continues with Mundine picking off fringe dwellers, and never steps up to anything better.

...certainly easy money if they are encouraged and allowed to continue getting away with it.

 

So Leapai's in the main event again Ash?

 

It's time alright....TIME TO STEP UP!

While people continue to pay to watch Mundine take leisurely strolls, that's all he'll do.

 

Waters has only been stopped once and remember how 'deadly' Mundine looked against Jerez.

...12 rounds of yawn are highly likely to be the outcome Roscoe.

 

...Paul Kent, you're certainly a man after my own heart:


They've lost the faith

How long fight fans will continue to be asked to buy in to these fight farces, which in terms of credibility are one small step up from the fight fix, is anyone's guess.

Mundine and Sydney's Ryan Waters will meet in an all-Aussie WBA light middleweight world title eliminator, to be announced on Wednesday.

But most fight fans left the game for good last week, no longer able to muster the enthusiasm for another sting in the pocket like the Green-Briggs fight in Perth.

The the ones who dip into their pockets, often with money they can ill afford, to pay $50to watch a fight on pay-TV that isn't a fight. The undercards are often as bad.

Manny Siaca was pulled out of rehab - yes, rehab - to fight Green after just 11 rounds in four years.

Siaca did all that was expected of him. He lasted a few rounds and then he took the count on his knee to end it in the third.

The crowd was disappointed but, don't worry, Green promised he would make it up to them in his next fight. Enter Paul Briggs.

After Briggs was pronounced D.O.A, Green said Briggs "dogged it" and wouldn't be paid. Yet when asked by a Channel 7 reporter if he would give the money back, Green - who has that right as the promoter - ducked the question. Did the same when the reporter asked again.

So who keeps Briggs' purse? The promoter? Who is Green.

I wouldn't be surprised if Green retires. How many more times can he put the hard hat on and mine our pockets? Who else is left?

Mundine has been paying for it, with his pay-per-view fights not attracting the subscriptions they once did.

But it's better than real work. With each fight he still earns more than the average NRL first grader, so he is happy to continue on his way for less bruises than he'd suffer against the Rabbitohs.
