Mundine's farce has claimed another victim! Read it and weep:

One hopes Mundine's camp endures a financial bath in this dubious bout with Mosely.

800k?

no way would they cover that, regardless of whether mundine was fighting or not. who would pay to watch wood? not many surely.

I was shocked to read the wood was going to be asking 50 to watch this fight. He was dreaming.

It's crazy that these guys think they're 50 PPV material when we get BHop fights for 29.95 and I think Bradley v Marquez was about that too.

I agree Dan. I purchase most fights but havent grabbed a Choc fight in years. Kessler may have been the last. $50 is a joke. Garth, to think he could sell his bout against a guy with no profile for $50 is ludicrous. If it was going to cost $800K to have the Murray fight i doubt they would have made their money back. That said, if they (Wood) could negotiate the price down, have the fight on a Saturday night (not a Wednesday) stack the undercard and charge $20 I would buy !!

It is crazier to think that Wood is fighting for a world title.

Allphones can hold up to 21,000, while the Sydney Entertainment Centre, comes in with 13,250 maximum.

Mundine is living in fantasyland if he expects to fill even 25% of Allphones.

He will go close to filling I think. He knows his pulling. Power is going down rapidly so I expect he will comp about 6000 tickets to this one so half of the nrl, rugby and afl players are there.

I wonder if I can bet on attendance being under 50?

Must be some deal with Allphones giving them the arena or something. I noticed the back board in Chocs presser only had Allphones displayed, no mainevent, Boxa or anything else.
