I'm still waiting for macca's blow by blow commentary ... I think he's lamenting, now that he realises how much he paid per punch to watch it! Cry

In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

Just listened to Mundine after the fight - not even an apology !

Well that saved the round by round analysis from Macca. How did you see it Macca - or did you blink & miss it ?

Maybe a prostate induced interruption ...

Bloody joke putting it on this late. All about the Pubs & Clubs getting their moneys worth. Customers pissed as ticks , blues everywhere guaranteed.

After filling up all night while waiting an eternity for the main event, the first round demolition will do nothing to help lower the glassing count.

Anyone know what the price was Mundine getting knocked out in under 20 seconds combined with not landing one punch ?

I’m getting worried about Macca. Hope he’s not waiting for the fighters to enter the ring

Mundine was hurt very early ,     Shocker result so quick .

      ONEONE ...   Yes I'm still awake , so I might massage the prostate.

So not all bad news!

Were you aware that it had that function, or did it just come as a pleasant surprise? Hug

Mundine is only a draw in the sense that people want to see him knocked out so the fight went well.

But honestly who cares about that considering Fury is going to be fighting Wilder tomorrow.

How much did Horn get paid, and how much did Mundine get paid, for this match ??

They were guaranteed $2 million each, but if there were pay per view bonuses it could be multiples of that with it being the 3rd biggest PPV event ever in Australia.

Sorry for this this Macca - however I just felt the need to share it. I just had a few minutes of uncontrollable laughter reading your comments. The mental vision of you preparing yourself meticulously for your self-appointed round by round analysis just cracked me up. Freshening up on all the boxing terms, ensuring all your one liners are in-place together with the note pad & pen to ensure you don't miss reporting anything. All while trying to keep your eyes open. Then you see the fighters emerge - go to make a comment - & the "puters" not working. This last thing it shows is Paz's comment saying its started. The mad panic sets in. Not only is the "puter" not working your attempts to fix it result in you missing actually watching any of the fight. And the final straw is reading the cheap shots delivered by Doc, PT & myself. Too funny

I was raised in the era of the great heavyweights, on free to air, so I just can't get interested in paying to watch tiddlers.

I am probably not as old as you, having missed Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano, but I did grow up watching the Ali, Frazier, Foreman fights and had the great pleasure of meeting and talking to Ali, so we may be talking about the same era.

Dont forget that Ali was actually the beginning of the circus that boxing became with his association with King, ''fights'' against Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki, his travelling boxing circus with Joe Bugner and the almost ill fated encounter with Gorilla Monsoon where he was hurt in a back slam.

I dont like the theatrical aspect much either, but that farce last night aside that I would never pay to watch, there is plenty of high quality top level boxing to be watched if you want to.

True. Those Ali/Frazier/Foreman fights were just magnificent though. Golden period for boxing

There's a rumor Macca had a micro-nap and missed the whole shebang. Shocked
