    ANYBODY who paid for the mismatches was encouraging MORE of them!

    If NOBODY paid for the mismatches they'd STOP immediately!

    The PRODUCT being delivered - the mismatches - was unquestionably substandard, and the price was not reduced accordingly.

    Therefore the people that paid FULL-PRICE (ie $50 PPV or entry fee to the stadium) - for a substandard product - WERE being RIPPED OFF!

    "Mundine, who had been winning the fight early, later admitted that he wasn't unconscious, just exhausted"

    was this actually true?

    WOR - Believe me, I do know the cold hard facts, but Mandy wouldn't get respect from 9 out of 10 Australian's, let alone just the boxing community.

    Your opinion, whilst I acknowledge what your saying is still in my opinion the wrong option to take. What your saying with this so-called 'low-road' approach Mandy took is it's like doing a business deal, or any deal for that matter, however with the pure intent to not honour it, or blatantly not do your best and fraud the other person so to speak.

    His whole career has been a ****ing fraud and slipping into oblivion with his cash in the manner he's patronised the public in the past amounts to nothing more than **** weak. The blokes a ****ing cat, nothing more, nothing less.

    Once Mandy's lost all his money, can someone call the **** out when he's 47 like he did Lester Ellis and give him a bashing. That way we all have something to look forward to again in another 10-12 years.

    The Lester Ellis fight was a disgrace and should have never been allowed to take place,just had a look at Mundines career again on Boxing Records apart from perhaps 4 fights Kessler,Ottke and Siaca and maybe Green the rest of His career has been a manipulated disgrace.

    Well done if he has made money from fighting mediocrity and Stiff's but I can assure you it's done his credibility and how he is percieved in the World of boxing no favors,I have Boxing friends in the States and I can assure you he is looked on as a bit of a joke sort of like the Eddie the Eagle of boxing,had he chosen another path his career certainly would not have looked as good and certainly would not have made as much money but he could have earned a lot more respect in the Boxing World,instead he will retire with a few adoring fan's still by his side but unfortunately from most knowledeable Boxing fan's he will be looked at as a bit of a joke and he only has himself to blame.!!!

    Most people in life take the low-road approach, not fulfilling their goals and doing a job they hate just so they can maintain a regular paycheck, and Mundine's no different. He may regret it one day or he may not. If his goal was to make plenty of $$$ after the Kessler loss he certainly did that and can consider his career a success.

    I think it was an interview with Ty at the time where he said that he wanted to rematch Siaca but Khoder and Snr were against it and they were directing him which way to go with his career. Maybe Tony Snr knew his son's limitations were akin to his own and wanted Choc to retire with something in the bank. Credibility and respect don't pay the bills. Just ask Joe Louis.

    He only got $25 out of me total - half of the $50 for the Green fight PPV.

    One fact can't be argued Stiffy:

    If NOBODY paid for the mismatches they'd have STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!

    ....but the gullible Wallys kept paying!

    In general people get treated like they deserve to be treated, if they get treated like **** by being fleeced by Mandane then that is their problem , they got what they deserved. They complain that some one fleeced them yesterday, then make the same mistake today and get fleeced/treated like **** again tomorrow.

    A fool and his money are easily parted.

    Curses!!!! You guys are too clever.
    Looks like I'll have to retreat back to my lair and come up with another identity.

    PS: Ray Wheatley's The Greatest Vol 2 at all good newsagents $9.95.

    Start an argument.

    What do you think was the greatest performance in Aussie boxing?:rasta
