lol, guys is that honestly it? i think you guys need a time out, go sit in the corner and have a good think about what you are saying. When you have something constructive to offer then please feel free to tug my chain lol, until then, as you were muppetts
Sorry to rain on the parade but Mundine already is the mandatory. He is 1 ranked by the WBA. Trout has to fight him by december or vacate:good
This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected quote=fast hands;10276294] Mundine's closet nuthugger and PR man TC "BOXA" assumes too much when he suggests that fans who dislike his hero must be Green supporters. Trout knows his stuff. Choc was to be his Argie cab driver. Seems like Austin will be searching elsewhere for his 2nd defence. Why would a middleweight [Mundine] be considered as Trout's mandatory ? Surely he would be expected to win an eliminator at 154 to qualify. Names like Ishida, Wolak, Williams and Lara will make sure that never happens. Unless Boxa agree to Trout's terms the fight is dead in the water. :yep [/quote]
This is actually true. So Trouts management really screwed up. Negotiating the mandatory will be much more favorable to Mundine who has a lot more money to play with when it comes to purse bids. By not backing off on their fight options clause they've shot themselves in the foot. Had Mundine not been the mandatory, it would have made a lot more sense.
when talking what is being offered you need to also look at what trout has been getting. dont think he has received over about 180k for his fights so choc isn't going to offer 500K just to get the fight when he knows as No 1 mandatory he can get it much cheaper
Tbh, trout gets the blame here. As ty said, a rematch option would have sufficed, trout isnt that recognisable, he needs to protect his belt and a rematch clause looks after that. But trout cutting in on a mundine home town promotion by having a 1 fight option? Thats bs. Fairs fair. If he forces trout by becoming his mando, he's still getting knocked out so the end result is the same, we just wait a bit longer.
Wheres all the girls gone that said the additional fight option were all made up by Mundine and no one had any evidence to suggest otherwise lol?
450K seems to be the figure being bandied about. Any proof ? Nasser seems to have outflanked Trout's team by sweet talking and probably palm greasing Choc's meteoric rise to No 1 on the WBA L/M rankings. Justified ? It's laughable. Will Trout V Mundine ever happen ? We'll just have to wait and see. :hey
God there are some clowns on here u just read the article on twitter & u still think mundines ducking him come on get a grip . when they do fight mundine will beat him. me thinks mr trout is a bit nervous maybe doubting himself a bit. honestly tho if mundine beats trout what will u guys say then?????? maybe find another excuse to bag mundine. oh well we will find out in a few months i supose. cheers
meehan was ranked no.1 in wba for over 2 years. was mandatory and still got palmed. basically, the wba just do whatever they want.
