It would be a sad indictment if they didn't. I agree that he needs to step it up and fight better quality opposition but i'd rather see people at the fights and watching then not. Boxing needs more support in Australia not less.
Precisely why he should be fighting overseas, or bringing in better people from overseas.

I am a big Australian boxing fan, that's why I think it's despicable that Mundine lines his pockets while fighting challengers that simply do not deserve a shot. Hamdan lost last time out to Mads Larsen.

I have not been made a fool of - I didn't watch the fight. But if you paid money to see any of Mundine last two or three fights then yes, he was taking the piss out of you. You paid good money to watch fights that simply were not competitive.

Maybe if the Australian boxing public was slightly more discerning and stayed away from Mundines 'bum of the month' Wednesday night extravaganzas it would force him to step it up.

As sporting consumers the only power we have is 'to watch or not to watch', and until Mundine fights somebody decent I'll be steering clear.
