"Taylor v million-dollar Man
August 9 2002
Shannan Taylor swears the million dollars offered to fight Anthony Mundine is not a publicity stunt.
Backed by businessman Tony Caradonna, Taylor announced yesterday that Mundine would be guaranteed a $1 million wage for the fight, regardless of the result.
"It's legit, it's true, it's not a publicity stunt, I'm ready to fight Anthony Mundine," said Taylor, who has a career record of 30 wins, three losses and a draw.
The prize, the biggest purse between two Australian fighters in history, comes two weeks after another boxer, the unbeaten Danny Green, offered Mundine $500,000 to fight him.
Whether one of Mundine's titles would be up for grabs had yet to be confirmed, Taylor said.
Despite the fact Taylor would have to climb a few divisions to fight Mundine, he remained hopeful the fight would become a reality. "I am going to whup Anthony Mundine, if he's willing to sign the paper."
Taylor, 30, has even had T-shirts printed with the proclamation - "The Silence of the Man".
"This is exactly what I'm going to do to him, see this: 'Silence of the Man - starring Shannan Taylor'," Taylor said.
Last week The Sun-Herald reported Mundine accepting Taylor's bid with the statement: "I'll fight you if you can fund me."
Since then, Taylor and Mundine have traded verbal blows, with Mundine calling him "just the latest leech sucking onto the publicity I generate".
"I'm going to make him eat those words, he opened his mouth one time too many. It was business, now it's personal, very personal," Taylor said.
Australia Day was the tentative fight date, Caradonna said.
