I think most of the people that go to the Mundine fights are just token supporters anyway... I love boxing and would love some great fighters to emerge from Australia who can hang Internationally. It is what Australian boxing really needs... I bet no one followed Sam Soliman when he fought Winky Wright, or even know who the hell Winky Wright is..... We need our fighters to fight internationally, at least so we can see the competition that is out there and start getting more involved..
It's one thing to say that Mundine can pack a stadium in Sydney by 1000's of Australians who have only ever heard the name of 1 of the fighters in the ring...
I'm all with you mate.. I love my sport, love my country, and love our sportsman.... And god, everyone else in Australia seems to pride themselves on loving their sport and wanting Australia to be on the world stage as far as sporting events go,,,, but this will only happen when our sportmen get in and mingle on the world stage, with the worlds greatest athletes...
That's where I see Mundine needing to go.. and taking us with him... But will we be waiting forever?
