to come out of retirement. I was pissed off at Green for even considering a comeback.....but who could blame the guy for that kind of money? Seriously...... How many of us would say "NO?" Green 'tempted' by $5m Article from: This content is protected </IMG> By Christian Nicolussi June 24, 2008 12:00am THREE months ago Danny Green broke down in tears as he made the shock announcement he'd retire from boxing. He wanted to walk away while on top. He did not want to hop in the ring one too many times. He wanted to spend more time with his blonde wife Nina and two children, Chloe and Archie. Yesterday, the 35-year-old former world champion fronted the press and hinted he could make a comeback against Anthony Mundine. He could not wipe the smile off his face. Green has been offered around $5million to go toe-to-toe with Mundine, the boxer who beat him in 2006. Should "The Green Machine'' accept a rematch, he said it would be "the biggest fight in Australian boxing history''. Some people have questioned whether Green should return. Boxing legend Johnny Lewis, who was in triple world champion Jeff Fenech's corner last night, hoped Green stuck to his guns and steered clear of Mundine. Green, however, said he was not fazed by what people would think of his possible backflip. "Sure people will have their opinions,'' he told The Daily Telegraph. Green said he will now go on a surfing holiday with his family before making a decision. "It's almost a ridiculous offer at the moment,'' Green said of the contract sent to him
I was gutted when this was first being discussed but hey $5million ? ****ing roll on its a ****ing lotto win for 10 rounds of boxing , Mundine must want to really beat him up to offer the fella that sort of wedge.:deal
I fail to see how Mundine will make any serious money from this fight if he's giving 5 million to Green. Anyway, I said it years ago, and I'll say it again... Mundine's future is Green, and Green's future is Mundine.
YEP.......Inside every single one of us lies a "*****":yep The only thing argueable is the "PRICE":deal
I am guessing Mundine knows within himself that he is on the decline.....and rather than take on the Big Guns.....He wants to go for the easy money.:yep Rather makes a mockery of him relinquishing his Title and stepping down a division to avoid Kessler....and now he will step up 2 weight Divisions to fight Green....atsch
That's alot of coin, can't blame the dude for trying to make a sneaky dollar. I'd certaintly take it.
Green has made enough. He's also taken enough punches. He should stay retired. He doesn't need the money. He needs his health.
who cares. mundine is a total clown. green is washed up. mundine should wear a red clown nose into the ring, and danny a green one.
YEP.....You are right....Since he squibbed on another "schooling" by Kessler .....he might as well try to school a retired fighter....:deal
can someone please tell me the weight this fight will be contracted for? this is the biggest deal if you ask me.
hahahaha am i the only one who doesnt care the fights a disgrace.... i STILL like seeing Green getting his ass handed to him
I guess the most disappointing thing about all of this is that Mundine is throwing all this money at a retiree who he's already beaten easily, instead of using that money to get a Wright, or a Pavlik, ect to fight him. I still fail to see where all of this money will come from if they fight again. I very much doubt it will be anywhere bigger than the first fight.
