On another news article on boxingscene it says that they already sold 150 000 PPVs for this fight which is AUS$7.5 million. So there's a simple explanation why Mundine is such a cunt and likes fighting people in Australia. He's definitely picking up more than a few hundred thousand and he's never going to make anything close to that fighting in America.
I meant do they clash with other sporting events in Australia - like Aussie Rules or something? The big all-OZ fights, like this one, will almost certainly do bigger business in your country, just like the all-brit "world" title fights do in Britain, than 95% of fights screened from Vegas/USAQuote:

This is PPV which one of you Aussie posters will be paying for this?
Not me Master, too rich for my blood.
$49.95 Australian, so $52.27 US dollars or £33.17
I'm not sure how that compared for PPV shows for people in those countries, but $49.95 to watch Mundine and Geale (plus added KIMBO SLICE!!!:rolleyes:) is expensive in my eyes...
I have just found out it is live on Box nation over here!!! £10 per month great value. :)Quote:

Gave up on him.
Here is a weigh in short vid and a couple of pics. I gotta say that Mundine looks confident and much less gaunt.

I wonder how many people ended up buying the PPV?
I bet it did ok down under and probably ok in Britain but not so much on this continent because of the ungodly hour.Quote:

It wasn't shown in Britain, it wouldn't even get a mention in the sports news, nobody barring hardcore fans have a clue who either of these two are. And hardly any British fans on this site even took an interest (I was watching a stream)Quote:

At least they picked it up for you subscribers. Can't cost that much to buy a fight that is a non-entity in this country.
Insane when we get some overseas events for $39.95.Quote:

Box Nation have got Cloud v Hopkins, Price next fight, and some others I cannot think of. Worth it you know it makes sense. :)Quote:

I agree it's worth it, but not if you watch them for free ;DQuote:
