Thanks for that AGAIN Jet , Ive been working down south a bit without internet access and there are many things about this Tourny i don't know such as the 1.5 mill per fight . that explains a lot . :good
I'll say this about those hard heads, DiBella nailed it. He said words to the effect, (In regards to "round robins") "This is the way it has to go. If we don't start thinking outside of the box, they're gunna put us in it" I think that's the first time I've heard an old time top promoter/manager really acknowledge that the speed of information & the influence of fight fans with the internet & the unsettling ground-swell, that at least he understands what is looming if it's neglected. The next issue will be whether we should have to pay for every major fight, when all or most all other sports are free to air. IMO, unless it's a unification bout, it ought to be free at least on PayTV. **** me, they saddle us with 80% **** channels we don't want, flog us with ads, then they've got their rotten wankin spanners out for more. It's a ****en joke.:twisted: They've still got a long way to go, & with MMA etc sneaking up behind them, they need to get their head out of the till & start getting up to speed. I love these type of competitions, because once the deal is done, there's no ****en pissant nonsense. The schedule is actually more important than a fight, so they have gotta pull their heads in.
I can understand why you would want a few beatable fighters in the event.......I mean Froch wont want to come last :rofl
No prob Josey. I haven't watched the Showtime preview yet. Did you watch it mate? I read where some are saying it's a better production than the HBO one's. I thought the HBO 24/7's are great.
Ok Ash if you insist on turning this into a moronic nationalistic tit for tat debate i will swoop down to your level ( Sorry in avance to the many REAL Australian boxing fans here ) At least Froch has the balls to campain at 168lbs unlike your shithouse hero Mundine , Mundine with his antics and lack of balls has shown quiet the opposite of the once admirable Australian " Have a go " trait . **** why do you ****'s like you hate UK boxers so much ? i was reading all your bollocks on the Heavyweight thread earlier FFS Heavyweight boxing is in the Shithouse in this country but that being the case i would prefer the situation here than the one Down Under , do yourself a favour ASH look to boxrec and see where exactly Australia stands on the World stage before you open your ******ed mouth on a boxing forum again .
No i haven't seen much of it apart from the link you placed up above , i knew when Calzaghe retired all his belts would sadly fragment again however this tourny will determine ONE of the top two men in the division , all i was trying to say earlier before i became distracted was that this Tourny is GREAT for the sport and the 168lb division specifically but it won't determine the Top dog imo.
I have missed your subtle digs in the ribs Teke , ( Streets ahead of the moronic jibes i'm forced to endure from some others ) there is only one Mundine hugger worthy of my attention from now on so don't go making anymore dull as **** predictions that would force another exile . That is all :good.
keep dreaming ****y , A , Wales will never get to a RWC final ( too small a nation ) B , Kiwis spew it every time they smell a final unless its the other code not practised in NZ very much
Bit touchy Josy What are you talking about in this paranoid reply :huh For the record Joe C and L. Lewis are some of my favourite fighters and I dont mind UK fighters at all.......however just the smallest hint that a UK fighter may not win sends you into a huge paranoid nationalistic rant Why are you turning this into a aussie vs UK thing? Why are you turning this into a Mundine thing? I have not mentioned any of the above....all I said is Froch wont want to come last.........that comment has turned you into a nasty little school child trying to throw your weight around in the playground :rofl
I think the Fight Camp 360 show is a six part series. The first one is a great behind the scenes look at how the whole thing came together.
