    the only reason I can defend this is because Mundine has a lot of undercards.
    Vic's had only 1 undercard.

    Every single Mundine undercard fight does not match up to the 1 Vic undercard . . .

    Problem is we can get a live streams with all the american fights, but with Mundine we can't. You either pay $50 or go to the pub and not get home until 2am.

    Something interesting I learned today.

    Mundine is on a guaranteed price for every Main Event PPV.
    Regardless of what numbers they sell, Mundine gets x dollars.(Ballpark figure, a couple of hundred G, can't say with any certainty)
    If they manage to sell to a certain amount of venues, lets say 200, Mundines take then goes to around 60-70% of that figure.
    The numbers on his last 2 or 3 PPVs have been very low.

    Yep, rip off.

    Im thinking of getting it because its been so long since ive seen a Mundine fight. I used to go to most of them live, and if i didnt i would get it on MainEvent, but i havent seen one since Soliman 2.

    Sad thing is, people will still buy it . . . fattening Choc's wallet even more and justifying to himself and Khoder to continue to fight corpses and cabbies. The stupid bogan at the pub wouldn't have a ****ing clue whether Choc fights Bernard Hopkins or Rico Chong Nee. I feel sorry for those groupies who continue to support the fraud.

    daz52, from a pretty good source, no idea what the numbers are for tomorrow night.

    A quick look at the foxsports web site suggests 64 venues in NSW, 9 in QLD, 9 in Vic, 4 in WA (surprisingly neither the Paddo or the Greenwood) & 1 in SA. So thats 87, well short of their target.

    The sad thing is there will probably be very good numbers at pubs/clubs tomorrow night with casual sport fans who know nothing about boxing watching the fight.When JM Marquez fights Juan Diaz in a couple of weeks you will be lucky to go to the pub and find 2 or 3 people watching.

    This is the first time I won't be ordering a Mundine fight, just can't justify it anymore.
