Crazy old Aussie boxers - Fenech is fighting Samart Payakarun and Harding wants Green

[Sharla]

Do you think Fenech is just hard up for money? I have to wonder since it wasn't so long ago he got done for shop lifting? used to living a certain lifestyle and not having the dosh to uphold it any more - getting desperate perhaps?

Fenech is getting a million.

I don't think he needs the money, he certainly shouldn't anyway. The shoplifting thing I think was just a typical Fenech thing, he just finds trouble where ever he goes. I think he even owns one of the apartments at that Versace place where the shoplifting thing happened. They are worth millions. I guess its hard to know. He seems to be pushing the "I have have the fire in me" line so maybe thats it, and since there has been a mild resurgence in the money that can be made the two might be enough to make him want to jump back in again. He promotes fights and i guess will promote this one so there's more money to be made there if it is a success.

Ok so I just watched the full story. Fenech obviously doesn't need the money it seems he's trying to restore some cred with the Aussie people to me after the bad press he's had over the last few years. Sounds like Payakarun called out Fenech and he's accepted. He's training 7 days a week and is being trained by Johnny Lewis one of my Fav trainers. And yes he is getting $1M for the fight.

I love Fenech and at least he fighting another old man.

Can't imagine Johnny Lewis wanting anything to do with this madness.

Even when Fenech fought Nelson, his hands were shot to pieces because they were battered. Also the early days of him starving himself to make weight, read a book where he said he fainted after running and loved brushing his teeth because he could not swallow the water but just have it in his mouth gave him some relief, meant his career was going to be shortened.
