Certainly is Phil. Why would the mandatory date have been set so far into the future? Plainly both boxers are fit and ready to fight as they have both teed up other opposition. Hopefully it'll all play out as it should with Geale meeting Mundine after their respective Tasmanian bouts, but a scenario where Mundine defends and then abandons is still an unecessary possibility IMO. It would still give Geale a chance to fight for what would then be a vacant title, but also gives Mundine the chance to defend (and profit from) a title he won under controversial enough means for the IBO to call for the mandatory, and treat Geale with contempt in the process.
Geales and Mundines team have a co promotion coming up if the story is true......this means Geale has agreed to the setup of fights and the dates. You are the only won having a whinge about this......its not because of your Hate for Mundine is it?
Does entertaining the possibility of an agreement in boxing matchmaking turning sour = hating Mundine Ash? My take on this one from the outset has been let the IBO govern their title. Not agreements based on self-interest that can end up being tomorrow's fish and chips wrapper.
Wow...I shouldn't be surprised by now. But what a let down this will be and a big "**** you" to all his fans who thought he'd have stepped it up by now.
I posted about this in the General forum. hes earning more than HBO cards combined. atsch. Pay per view monopoly.
Yes the same as Felix Sturm. They both make more than HBO entire purses for Middleweight and Light Heavyweight fights.
Where did you get those numbers from? It's no wonder he's content fighting bum after bum, although claiming otherwise.
Because the IBO champion must make a defence every 9 months minimum, it was believed because of the nature of the fight that it was a close fight that could have gone either way that an immediate match was not called for, but due to the performance of Geale, he should not be looked over
VIP, Miracle Man, AndrewFFC - please see below: The sole reason Mundine has been able to get away with his heavily padded career is that mindless gullibles continue to pay for his PPVs! He’s able to generate enough income from this that he has no need to challenge himself on the world scale – even though he continues to promise the blind faithful world dominance – and amazingly they continue to believe it! So if there's anyone to blame it's the absolute dills that continue to fund his bully-boy local career beating guys of only half his ability – not to mention the occassional cab driver import.
Do you remember the story from primary school of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' Ash? After your post, I'm feeling just a bit like the boy in the story who wasn't blinded by the lies, and when he saw that the Emperor had no clothes, was confident to say so.
