Sources confirm all options are open amid speculation of a straining of relations between Mundine’s manager Khoder Nasser and the Main Event pay-per-view channel.

This was put in focus after Green’s win over Kane Watts on Wednesday night at Hisense Arena.

Mundine was ringside at the show put on by Brian Amatruda, his friend and promoter of his last few fights.

There was hope that in the event of a Green win, Mundine would enter the ring and the pair would swap verbals — great for Main Event and something to lead the TV news the following morning.

However, while Green addressed Mundine he sat impassively at his ringside table before leaving.

Main Event’s boxing frontman Ben Damon said Mundine had been asked not to play along.

“Unfortunately Mundine was ‘advised’ not to speak on the coverage,” Damon said.

“Tells me he’ll respond to Green’s words post fight later on.”

Green already has a close relationship with Channel 7, while Channel 9 has broadcast boxing in the Eastern States in the past few years.

A fight of this magnitude would require a heavy financial backer such as a major sports betting company.

Missing out on the multi-million-dollar fight would be a kick in the teeth for Main Event, which has shown the two fighters for the past decade against a variety of opponents.

Mundine yesterday told The West Australian that he was happy to leave negotiations for the rematch to Nasser and the rest of his team and that he had simply wanted to let Green bask in his success.

“Danny did what he had to do and I wanted to let him enjoy his victory and take the acclaim,” he said. “There are options open and it’s all about who can make the best deal.”

It would be good if it was a lot of people would see the undercard fighters which would hopefully feature a lot of up and comers. And because it's not worth $50 you can watch it free without putting up with the bellends who watch fights at pub/clubs.

For the money they want, It'll be on Main Event. Channel 7 only paid $200k for the Olympics and you would think its bigger then Mundine V Green 2.

I think you will find Channel 7 paid a whole lot more than $200k for the Rio Olympics.

The Seven Network has secured the Australian broadcast rights to the Rio Olympic Games.

The multi-million dollar deal includes TV rights to the summer Olympic Games in Rio in 2016 and Tokyo in 2020 and the winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, in 2018.

Neither Seven Media nor the IOC have released financial terms for the deal; sources say it would be worth between $150 million and $170 million.

There are three chances of the mooted bout to be shown on free-to-air: None; Buckleys and Sweet Fanny Adams!

It will come down to who offers the most folding stuff. Free to air TV might just be used as a lever in the negotiations.

Because negativity bothers some posters and those threads get locked. And there's plenty of negatives about this fight.

Announcement within a couple of weeks from what I have been hearing.

Regardless of some of the negativity, more people seem to want this fight than don't - as demonstrated by a poll currently being conducted on another Australian boxing site.

Anthony Mundine spent last week training in Brisbane – sparring with Trent Broadhurst and Adam Lovelock.

Cornerman Chris McCullen said: “Mundine still has a lot of work to do but his movement has really improved.

“At the moment he is just starting to come back to the gym and trying to get used to getting hit again.

“Last week he did three sparring sessions – two with Trent and one with Adam Lovelock.

“His power is improving and he’s up for a fight.

McCullen said "Mundine was now much more physically solid."

“You can see the change in his power with more weight back on him,’’ McCullen said.

“He will never be the size of Danny Green but he’s working on ways to get around Danny’s size advantage.

“Speed and movement are essential and he is certainly moving much better in the gym than he has for a long time."

You're shitting me. Surely people can have their opinions positive or negative as long as it doesn't cross the line regarding racial abuse or any other criticism not accepted by society ?? Oh well, have a forum where you can have your say just keep it positive !!! I have voiced my opinions previously about posters getting on continuously bashing Aussie boxing and boxing in general, but in this case I expected negativity and surely people can voice those opinions. Im positive about. I think it will be a good fight as long as Choc is fit.

Well that's just what I have found negativity about Danny chasing Mundine thread locked racial generalisations OK. It is what it is. As for the Green-Mundine fight the weight difference is far more than Canelo-Khan and GGG-Brook which have been panned and were only going to end 1 way. I think it will be a slaughter or a boring UD to Green with Mundine on his bike for 12 rounds.

There is some negativity toward the fight. But it is definitely a fight people want to talk about as demonstrated by the number of threads that have already emerged about it and the media coverage it is getting, and the fight hasn't even officially been signed off on yet.

More people seem to want the fight than don't, judging by a poll currently running on another Australian boxing site.

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...."

Green-Mundine stalls - venue and Mundine's hip the hold-ups

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016 ... ls-rematch?

The rematch between Danny Green and Anthony Mundine won't be held until next year with the pair fighting over the location and Mundine claiming his hip won't be ready until May.

The pair had hoped to have Green-Mundine II in the ring before the end of the year. But Green said he wanted to fight in his hometown of Perth or Melbourne where he's had his last three bouts, while Mundine wanted the fight to again be in Sydney.

"The last time we fought in Sydney so it would be fairer for it to be in Perth or Melbourne," Green told AAP.

He said that they had also had strong interest in hosting the fight from the Northern Territory government and South Australia.

While they have agreed on a catch-weight of 83kg, they need to nut out minor details such as who would walk into the ring first and promotional material.

"Neither of us wants to give an inch but we need to come to a decision very soon," said Green.

While Green was confident that the fight would be held in January or February next year, Mundine said he would need until May - 14 months after the surgery - to be "good to go".

Newly formed World Boxing Society should get onto this. It would suit it to a tee.

Neither of us wants to give a inch but 10/15/20 kg's who gives a f.ck

Scripted rubbish.

Green still keen. Choc sounds like he is having second thoughts.

Maybe Mundine enjoys stringing Green along. May next year.

I couldn't give two shits if they fight or not. I went to Sydney and watched their first crack, but Green is way too big and they are both a long way on the other side of their better days. Good luck to them if they can make some money from it but I won't be even paying $$ towards pay per view if it happens.

I'd rather watch replay of last year's lotto draws.

They will make a fortune. Of that much we can be certain.

I can't wait to watch the facebook video highlights of the fight the next day.
