Daniel Geale Vs Anthony Mundine for the IBO MW Title. May 27th in Brisbane

So... its better to 1/2- 3/4 fill a venue in Brisbane????

Promoted accordingly in Tassie, you'd have to imagine 12,000-15,000 pretty easily????

Have I had too many bourbans to speculate those figures???

 

That, and they couldn't find a tent big enough.

 

The Tennis Centre is near me and I've always thought it would make a good venue for a boxing event. Let's hope it gets considered.

 

How many seats do thet have.....15,000?

It would be a great place for a fight

 

Not sure hey, nice stadium though, just seems like an ideal place to have some fights.

 

Actually a quick search on the net informs me the Tennyson Tennis Centre can hold 7000 in the centre court stadium. Whether a boxing event would allow for more (ringside tables, etc) or 7000 could just be the max number for safety reasons. Not bad though..

 

Never seen tables at a Mundine show...

 

One would have to think this fight would get more than 7000 people?

Mundine gets 4000 to 5000 for argies......then again does Geale have a following in Brisbane....or will it be more people turning up to see Mundine get beaten because of Geales 21 - 0 record and IBO title.

 

**** Mundine looks old and dead

Anthony Mundine is talking up his chances of beating Tasmania's Daniel Geale when the pair meet in the ring for the first time.
Geale, 28, is the IBO world middleweight title holder.
He is expected to fight Mundine for the title in Brisbane in late May or early June.
Mundine, who is in Hobart for a Victorian bushfire fundraiser, says he will be too good for Geale.
"He's a good fighter but these boys can't beat me. No matter who it is they can't beat me," he said.
"I think he's going to have a good future but, as long as I'm in the division, I'm getting ready to clean everybody's house out, you know what I mean."


:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

EVER-CONFIDENT Anthony Mundine pulls no punches about who will reign supreme in his bout with Daniel Geale.
The 33-year-old former rugby league star touched down in Hobart yesterday, ahead of his appearance alongside Melbourne underworld figure Mick Gatto last night. The pair were guest speakers at a benefit for the Red Cross Victorian bushfire appeal at Hobart Function and Conference Centre.
Earlier this week Geale and former coach Greame George declared Mundine was ripe for the picking but yesterday the outspoken Mundine played down the Tasmanian's chances.
Despite Geale -- the IBO world middleweight champion -- being undefeated in 21 fights (including 13 wins by knockout), Mundine declared he was still the best in the business.
After nutting out the final details, Geale and Mundine will meet in Brisbane on May 27.
"He is a good fighter, but these boys can't beat me. It doesn't matter who it is, they can't beat me," Mundine said.
"I think he is going to have a good future but now I'm in his division I'm getting ready to beat everyone.
"A lot of people have talked before, and have not delivered.
"But that's something I do do. I talk and I deliver, and I will deliver once again.
"I will take his belt, that's part of the middleweight division and I want to unify the whole division and be undisputed champion. This is the first fight and first belt for that quest."
Well known for his reputation outside the ring over his controversial statements and taunting of opponents, Mundine acknowledged he would not be taking the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist lightly.
But with his own record standing at 35 wins (23 KO) and three losses, he is confident he can be the first to blemish Geale's perfect record.
"He will be defeated, that's no doubt. I am the man, and he knows what he is in for.
"All these fighters, they are fans of me. They want to be like me, the way I fight, the way I conduct myself in and out of the ring and it's going to be a pleasure for him to be in the ring with me.
"But I can't take away the fact he is a champion and he is undefeated and I have to give him that respect."

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

You're kidding Geale is 28 :admin

**** he's an old **** aswell.

 

yeah, looking for somewhere to hide.....

 

Why does Mundine always wear those silly "Andy Caps"

 

Dont you just love reading the Mundine press releases.

You could almost script it yourself and you would be close.

Maybe next fight we should have a mundine press release script comp and see who gets close to his yabble.

 

Its called fashion, u should learn some. Just because he's 30 years too late doesnt matter, it was in once.:think
