Let's run with your theory for a minute Ash: 1/ Mundine goes ahead with Geale II - should pay better than Geale I - but hypothetically let's say he LOSES - not far fetched - only an SD result last time. Where does that leave Mundine?? OK, a little bit richer but certainly nowhere on a world stage, and I'd suggest from there it's: 2/ Geale III, the decider. 3/ The immenent $$$$ grab at light heavy with Green at Subiaco. 4/ Retirement... Unless of course Green happens to beat him! Then it's 4/ Green III, followed by 5/ retirement. Where's the 'world domination' & 'comparisons with Bradman' in that lot Ash?? Ok: But what if he wins in Geale II, you'll ask? ...what if he does? He's a little older, a little slower and no closer to achieving anything remotely in keeping with his b/s promises! FACT: It's now or never for Mundine!
Mundine im my eyes will pick up vacant and regular titles fighting top 5 to 15 guys over the next 2 years.....he will wait for his chances...not risk Pav, AA or Sturm. I am very happy with this outcome...looks like all the haters are the only unhappy people :yep
I heard that Mundine got $600k for the Ottke fight. So if you use that as a guide, he'd probably get around $2M for a Pavlik fight given the Ottke fight was only 18 months into his career.
Dont know for sure but I think Mundine averages $500,000 each fight and more for the bigger fights. Against Geale he may have made $1,000,000. 30,000 PPV and 8000 at the gate and 150 pubs.....almost $2.8m.....Fox, Geale, Venue and costs = $1,800,000 So what I am saying is $500,000 for a loss to Pav is a big pay cut and a bigger risk.
The $600 sounds right for Ottke.....however I think he will get offered US500k for the Pav fight....dont see the $2,000,000 until he has the WBA title.
Does this equal World Domination: Won vacant WBA World SMW belt against a blown-up MW in Antwun Echols - the vacant belt was created when Sven Ottke was elevated to Super Champ status by the WBA when he unified his IBF belt with the real WBA SMW belt against Byron Mitchell Inherited real WBA SMW belt when Ottke retired. Lost real WBA SMW belt to Manny Siaca. Won vacant WBA World SMW belt against a blown-up MW in Sam Soliman - the belt was created when Joe Calzaghe was elevated to Super Champ status by the WBA when he unified his IBO belt with the real WBA SMW belt against Mikkel Kessler. Inherited real WBA SMW belt when Calzaghe vacated it and moved up to LHW to face Bernard Hopkins. Gave up real WBA SMW belt when Mikkel Kessler became his mandatory. Won IBO International MW belt via SD. So he's won 3 paper titles, inherited 2 real titles, lost 1 real title, vacated 1 real title, and won 1 minor title. Has never fought a real champ and beaten him for the real title. The only sure '3 times' things about Mundine are his losses. (thanks to IrnBruMan for the summary - why re-invent the wheel?) 'World Domination' Ash??
That's a good point, the WBA title adds a lot to the bargaining table. Though when he fought Ottke he was only the IBF #9 contender, so you would imagine he'd get more with an IBO middleweight title than the $600k.
Little birdy told me Geale got offered $250 for the same title....ok ..the little bird was pissed....and knows nothing about boxing.....But thats waht Marcus said.....oh I mean the little bird :yep
and who pray tell did you hear this off.im guessing that this is pretty unreliable and youre pulling things out of your arse.mundine wont fight sturm,wont fight pavlik, will bulk up to fight green at light heavy weight for the wbu lhw belt and start calling himself four time three division. and you ashley and teke will continue to circle jerk over him and your a pedo.:deal
