Im actually suprised by some of the comments around here, people are actually making an effort to legitimize this bout.

Joshua Clottey dropped Mundine 5 times and Clottey had spent almost his entire career at WW.

The fact some of you believe bragging rights is what is at stake for these two, is actually laughable.

Whatever criticisms people may have of the fight are totally worthless

Fans are going to be turning out in droves for this fight. It has captured the public imagination, and the fact that a few posters have inundated this thread with comments shows how massive the contest is; we should actually be on our knees in thanks to these two good men who are bringing so much attention to the sport.

Also, regardless of how old Green is, or how badly Mundine got his ass kicked at 154 pounds in his last bout, these guys who have made a lot of money are going to make a lot more money, which somehow makes this a good fight and should be of our utmost concern. And of course bragging rights are on the line too; the fight ten years ago means nothing now, as the winner here takes home all the glory.

This is going to be a hugely dramatic affair that makes people around the country proud to be Australian, and blah blah blah and so on

Green will obviously weigh in at close enough to 83 kg and Mundine likely weigh in around 80 kg.

Which rule in the rule book are you claiming that breaches? Feel free to state the rule below. Or is this just more sensationalism for the sake of sensationalism?

Ok in 40 year's I have NEVER seen a Jr Middleweight fight a Cruiserweight I don't need no Mundine hater tell me something that I already know ask Jeff Fenech

ITS CALLED FIGHTING WEIGHT THATS WHAT BOXER'S DO FIGHT AT THEIR WEIGHT NOT DANNY WEIGHT....... STOP TALKING SHIT

Ticket pricing for the fight is as follows :

Ringside
Some of the prime ringside seats are priced at $1,700 to $3,500 each.

Seats on tables
There are over 50 tables on the playing surface.
Seats on tables look to be $830 each (tables are $10,000 each and assuming 12 seats per table) - price includes 3 course dinner delivered to the table and a 5 hour drink package of premium beers & wines.

Seats on playing surface
There are 6,000 seats on the playing surface of the oval.
The cheapest seats on the playing surface are just under $500 each.

Tickets for areas off the playing surface
There will be in the order of 30,000 tickets for the areas off the oval playing surface.
These vary from just under $300 down to just over $140.

I will apply the absolute crudest of maths to those prices and see what an attendance of 37,000 might add up to in gross dollars.

Like a Boss wrote:I will apply the absolute crudest of maths to those prices and see what an attendance of 37,000 might add up to in gross dollars.

Why? We know they will make a lot of money.

Needed to use every bead on the abacus for this one.

Using the perhaps optimistic attendance figure of 37,000 I come up with a gross turnover, based on ticket sales only, of in the order of $10 million dollars.

This would obviously be supplemented by PPV sales, sponsorships, what the Sth Australian government might be chipping in etc.

Two things are yet to penetrate your ignorance >>>

1/ Nobody forced Mundine to fight Green again - he chose to.

2/ Nobody forced Mundine to accept the terms of the fight - he chose to.

"More than 10,000 tickets have already been sold for the bout and promoters have installed more seating on the Oval surface".

I gather 9,999 are scaplers

promoters have installed more seating on the Oval surface

Now that that will make fielding a tad difficult for all the cricket matches scheduled there before this night of nights.

Ha ha crusader has hit the nail on the head with that post.

Depends on the response to the playing of the national anthem on the night.

Scalpers or no scalpers those Adelaide crowd records of two or three thousand you mentioned earlier might be under serious threat here.

Calm down mate. Take it easy. There has been much worse fights sanctioned and nobody forced Mundine to take the fight.

The next Test is in Adelaide and the Aussies are getting caned. Perhaps the seats can be strategically placed to cut off the South African's best shots?

If the South Africans have to bat after dark, the lights will be turned off to give the Australians some hope.

Where are they going to prepare a wicket for the Test match with that big square thing in the way?

Biggest drawcard Adelaide ever had , was Chris Nicolau ,, he used to draw 3-4000 to the abcos , but with him on, and Fenech on, along with guy waters fighting Dennis Andreas ,, the most they could get was 7-8000 people , and that was in a time when boxing was popular in Adelaide ..

Leaves 30,000 people to fly or drive in from interstate , to make 38000 . I don't think theres that many stupid people in Australia ,,,, IS THERE

It makes me laugh, reading all the 'tall poppies' on here bagging the fighters and fight out... Yet, you all know you'll be sitting on ya bums keenly watching these two men go at it on February 3!

I'm not 100% of the capacity of Adelaide Oval. But i won't be at all suprised if it's full. The people of Adelaide eat up the 'hero vs villian' theme of Mundine vs Green.

Capacity is 53,500. Crows vs Pt Adelaide can't attract anywhere near it, nor any other sport event. How is Green vs Mundine gonna attract 37k?

Watch local politicians focus into government's 500k sponsorship, now that voluntary euthanasia bill is dead & buried yet again......for time being anyway.

BTW, Adelaide Oval is yet to list the show in upcoming events. Maybe booking deposit is yet to be lodged?
