    Though rarely fought for these days by Aussies, the Commonwealth title has a proud and 'real' history. Unlike many of these meaningless titles that only represent a vehicle to make some greedy boxing hanger-on richer.

    To answer the original question from contendo....the comm title is not what it used to be 30 years ago.

    Back in the day it was a world title for Aussies and was the best you could do.

    Not trying to downplay what Bobby said about money for defense however no way a promoter pays anything close to $50,000 to defend that title here today save one of our top 5 fighters that would get that cash or more anyway

    IMO $10,000 to $15,000 max to defend the title here and less than that to go to the UK chasing one.

    Let's face facts.....the glory days of boxing are gone....it's just not like that anymore :deal
