    You were so disgusted when they announced the Waters & Wood fights that you said you were

    , and preceded to hide-out in the NRL thread for months!

    This http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=14646&cat=boxer equates to a wasted career Ash.

    Even the previously loyal to Mundine boxing experts are now openly stating what a charade his career has been.

    The funniest thing for us who saw through the bull**** years ago is that a relative nobody and good bloke like Garth Wood, is likely to get the opportunity to close the Mundine circus for good.

    You left out the 5th way mate - FULFILLING YOUR POTENTIAL.

    No wonder you were so pissed when they announced Medley followed by Wood. Funnier still for me, after fresh claims of world supremacy, was Falliga!

    Fleecing fools of their $50 PPV is not the measure of a champion mate and never will be.

    There's a sucker born every minute. Take those phony magnetic power wrist-bands for instance - in fact I'm sure you've probably already got one.

    Fans mate not fools :deal

    Now chocs fan base or PPV numbers have gone down each time he fights a Falinga or Jurez level fighter...but when he fights a Geale or Medley type fighter they go up again.

    Nobody is being fooled and people pay for what they want to see...for me I didnt buy the Wood, Falinga or Jurez fights but I will be buying his next fight :good

    I spend $750 on boxing PPV a year and on average $150 are chocs fights....oh no Im a fool I have squandered all my cash on choc :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Keep the laughs coming mate :good

    After being away for a couple of days on holidays, I thought I'd log in and catch-up with the latest going's on in Aussie ESB and I see this doozy from Mr Ash.

    Please tell me you don't really believe this comment highlighted in red Ash?

    In no way, shape or form would he have earned close to this figure.

    Absolute fanciful dreaming if you think he's earned $25m!!!

    I'm off, my sides are splitting from laughing and I'm going back to relaxing and not reading drivel!!! :lol:

    Its well documented that hes made $500,000 on average from most of his early fights (this does not include his profit share in BOXA)

    Its also well documented that he made $7m from 1 fight.....so yes after 44 fights hes made close to that....this is not new :huh

    You need to ramp up your bagging mate before I go and dig up some facts.....however lets try the Geale fight

    45,000 PPV @ $50 = $2,250,000 @ 60% = $1,350,000
    500 pubs @ $1,500 = $750,000 @ 60% = $450,000
    gate 3000 @ $80 = $240,000

    $2,040,000

    Minus Geale $250,000
    Minus cost $200,000

    $1,590,000 for choc and Boxa :hey

    Chocs average besides the Green fight needs to be $418,000 to make the $25,000,000

    Are you going to tell me they didnt get the above numbers?

    Ash is right, i havent done the figures but it would be somewhere around that number, he has made upto and over 1 million dollars for each of his promotions since he started. do the math and the figure is quite high. It had always been known around boxing circles that mundine made 1 million on his first promotion so im not sure why some of you are so suprized and beat up on Ash, he is only speaking what he knows, dont beat him with a stick for it.

    You continually claim Mundine is world class, whilst he himself continues to claim world domination.

    For a 'world class' fighter of 10 years experience and claiming to be aiming for world domination, rate these, his most recent match-ups, on scale of 1 to 10 mate:

    Falliga: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Medley: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Jerez: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Waters: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Wood: from 0 to 10 rating = ?

    I'm certain you'll run from this question like Mundine ran from Geale II, Golovkin etc Ash...but perhaps you'll surprise us???

    If Choc had in fact fulfilled his potential, can he really be blamed for trying to make a $ out of the game before he retired?

    Many here say that he really wasn't up to scratch on the world scene. If that's the case, then walking away having earned 10 or 20 mil has gotta be pretty smart by anyone's standard.

    Do you think he fulfilled his potential JB, and if so, at what stage of his career did he fulfill it?

    ...and same question for you mate:

    How would you rate these most recent match-ups for a 'world class' fighter of 10 years experience and claiming to be aiming for world domination:

    Falliga: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Medley: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Jerez: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Waters: from 0 to 10 rating = ?
    Wood: from 0 to 10 rating = ?

    it is smart but as he doesnt share it with me couldnt care
    less.i think with his talent he could have won a real world
    title and i think it will bother him that he didnt fulfill his
    potential but yeah hes made a lot more coin than others
    who have achieved far more.

    Firstly "World class" IMO means being able to compete against a guy that has, will have or did have a World title....Mundine did that several times :deal

    Falliga: from 0 to 10 rating = 2
    Medley: from 0 to 10 rating = 6
    Jerez: from 0 to 10 rating = 3
    Waters: from 0 to 10 rating = 4
    Wood: from 0 to 10 rating = 5
    Geale: from 0 to 10 rating = 8

    :yep
