How much would you say Bundrage should earn to defend his title? I'm interested.

There is no right or wrong answer there. It depends entirely on who he's fighting and how good his management are at negotiating the deal. If he was fighting a Floyd Mayweather for instance he would expect to earn multiples of what he would if he was fighting the number 15 ranked challenger.

From Brundrage's perspective he holds a title, is known in the US, and at 39 would be looking for the biggest paydays he can possibly find.

Mundine has no title and has no following whatsoever in the US. As proven when less than 300 people bought tickets to watch him fight McKart.

I don't follow either fighter. So I'm not that interested in guessing a figure. An opinionated, closet Mundine supporter like yourself should be able to offer a figure though. What do you think scoop?

39 year old Bundrage should be attractive to Mundine as he is the only top 11 stoner who is older than him.

WBC champion Saul Alvarez, 22 old with a 40-0 record (29KOs), would be the most dangerous apart from Mayweather. Then again Floyd is 35 and has to be looking towards a post boxing career.

The common thread is they all have the cookie. That is they hold titles and they won't be dropping their pants any time soon at the negotiating table for someone who could only sell 300 tickets at his last fight.

Choc did himself no favours with that effort.

His fight against McKart amounted to little more than a self funded publicity stunt.
