lets have a brainstorm.

Half the amount of Aussie Boxing that is on FOX Sports. Have fewer broadcasted fight cards but with much better quality fights.

Exactly that might get some of the results on regular tv, ie bringing boxing to the public and actually raising some interest in the sport.

I think banning rugby players from becoming boxers may help.

Need some sort of boxing on free to air, I think any fight that's for an Australian title should be shown on a Sunday afternnon on ABC or something similar.

Boxing on Free to Air TV won't happen. Boxing will never be a main stream sport anymore. It isn't in the USA and all boxing is on some form of Pay TV. HBO, Showtime, ESPN & Versus.

I understand that it can't be on free to air, but at least boost the Standard of the local cards that are on Fox Sports.

They must stop putting Local fights on PPV as well, like that card that was out at Campbell town a month back with Dib etc, not WAY that should have been a PPV.

Better coverage of the fights from Overseas would help generate peoples interest. Example is the Winky vs Williams fight, that should be on FOX SPORTS not Main Event PPV.

If the A League can't find a way onto free to Air, then no way domestic boxing would.

Yeah, this is exactly how it is.

Just too bad the situation is fuked beyond repair. It is so hard to change something when it is so far gone.

How the hell wasn't that Dib /zappa geale fight night at campltnw not a ppv ???

It was one of the best cards put together that I've seen..

Probably stop fighting Kick boxers from Thailand and fight Boxers.

That is the problem? How is it PPV material? You're the sort of person who thinks this is okay to a be PPV, then you are half the problem.

Dude this was a Fox Sports Card, not a PPV. The only Australian fight that I can excuse being on PPV is the Green vs Mundine, due to the nature of fight. That is it.

This is a worthy PPV

That Mundine KO is one of the best things I have ever seen.

Unfortunately it was just a Knock Down. But it shows just how terrible his chin is. No way that bum makes it on the world scene.

I remember when they were saying he could go up to super middle and outbox calzaghe.

Half the problem? It is 100% of the problem. When the fans of the sport in this country are as dumb as this, the ppl running it will continue to exploit them.

I agree. It's these stupid people that buy these Aussie PPV's that are encouraging the likes of FOX Sports to keep doing so.

Bit over the top to call the guy an idiot, it had some of Australia's most promising names and he's just saying he can't believe it wasn't a pay per view. Going by the Mundine standards it should've been ppv but of course not by what the standards should be.

not making every fight a PPV and putting fights, such as wright-williams on fox sports

and shooting anthony mundine could help also

This will help a lot. More people will watch it. But I've spoken to FOX Sports about this and they're not interested in doing it.

wtf u talking about,it didn't even have Mundine stupid undercards on there.
It had a decent line up of bouts on the night,I thought it was a pretty good fight night by australian standards, so what the hell u going on about

It's not PPV material. It's a good Fox Sports Card. That is what it is. But Fox will keep milking people like you for every cent.

You are using words like "decent", "pretty good" and "by Australian standards". Pretty clear that this should not have been a PPV event.

Thank you. Good to see some people with some sense around here.

Dopy I didn't buy it.I downloaded it .
So your saying you don't support australian boxing?Even if it means Australia's best boxers being evenly matched against one another?

By the way, howcome you always act like a ****wit on the internet?
That's right , you can't help but be a dick.

Directed at me? I'll assume so.

Sorry if you think I'm acting like a fukwit, I'm not trying to. I simply think ppl who purchase those PPV events are doing the sport a diservice. I am all for supporting the Aussie boys. I will purchase the Kat fight on the weekend for sure, and am prepared to pay money for fights I think are worth it. The problem is ppl paying money for these average/decent cards.

It's more that Australian Boxing via way of Fox Sports are ripping of Australian boxing fans. If you want to look at it like that.

No, it's people being ignorant and stating that card in particular is a worthy PPV. Just because it has the better of the local talent on the one card doesn't meant that it has to be a PPV. Which causes me to act that way towards you. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

The Wink-PWill fight next week is a pretty good example. The yanks will get that fight on normal HBO whilst we will have to pay. I am going to buy it because Winky is one of my favourite fighters and I hate trying to stream it, but it still sucks.

Thanks dude. That's all I'm doing.

lets have a brainstorm.

YOU sure you're not ULTIMATEBOX?

Who is that, Is he another guy that likes aussie boxing but rants about aussies?

stop bringin those kickboxers over from thailand to make our fighters look better..thats y we suck when we fight someone good from overseas!

Mundine is the Ring leader of this. The Guys he fights may not be from Thailand but they certainly don't have a heartbeat.

not quite true..mundine fought some good boxers he gave kessler a good performance..and danny green wasnt a push over either..he outboxed green easily..he deserves some respect..most of ppl hate him for his ****iness..which i dont care about thats his thing.

I don't hate him for his ****iness. Roy Jones Jr and Floyd Mayweather are two of my all time favourites. So are the likes of Pernell Whitaker and Muhammad Ali. You think I hate ****y fighters?

What I hate is unwarranted ****iness. The man talks about being the best athlete in Australia's history. Why? Because he could do backflips after scoring tries in meaningless games of league and then he can beat up an Argentinian cab driver? Well done Anthony.

He deserves some respect, sure he does. Anyone who is prepared to get into the ring deserves respect. As Ult keeps reminding us this is a damn tough sport. However, it wears thin. The "I am the best MW in the world, now watch while I beat up Shannan Taylor" act wears thin pretty quickly.

Also, do you Mundine fans find it odd that the first fight you guys bring up is Kessler? His best effort was a one-sided decision loss huh? ****, he must be great.

He has some solid wins sure, Green, Echols, Soliman, these guys are far from total bums. Having said that he is a joke. He rips the public off by feeding them garbage that they are somehow prepared to pay $50 to eat. Good luck to him, but I can't stand the cunt.

If I could give you Green K. I would this is how I see Mundine as well. If had faced the best and beaten the best in the game. I would have no problem with saying how great he was, but he is not Great at all.

australia is an easy place to live. Boxing a very hard sport, i think alot of sports people in oz would rather play an easier sport than boxing.Thats why oz doesnt have to many good fighters.For where we come from some do very well.Its just not a rough place Australia.

This is a valid point.

Boxing has always prospered in the places where people are looking for a way out. That certainly isn't the case in Australia.

If you say in ozzy ur going to box people look at you as if to say, dont do it & what for.But if you come from mexico, rough places in the states people would be like good on u mate.Its a way out, here we dont have great fighters but we do produce some great sportmen & women. We have a better standard of living than most countries, thats why people in oz dont box we have very easy and most of us dont relies this.

We need Showtime and HBO on Austar/Foxtel.
I would be prepared to pay an extra 10 bucks or so a month for these channels...does anyone know why we dont have them?
And yes as stated earlier...fewer cards of higher quality should be made but there are so many promotors out there chasing a buck so its hard and unlikley this will ever happen.

What is needed is more public interest in our sport. We need a genuine world champ not another domestic fraud, and preferably one who speaks English well. Getting Brendan Smiths' hands off Katsidis could be the first step.

I'd also like to ensure our judges are competent. Think Kickett v St Clair.

I thought the decision of kickett st clair was spot on.

Make Australia a part of Britain

That would be great, but it won't happen. Foxtel are too greedy to put these fights on Regular Fox Sport and only put international boxing on Main Event.

HBO and Showtime isn't available outside of the USA.

But they could still show the fights that are on these channels if they really wanted to. They do so some Showtime cards, but usually they are 2 weeks old and on at some **** time slot.

I suppose Billy Dib gave Zolani Marali a schooling too?

Tell John Wayne Parr to fight boxing instead of muay thai.... there you go.
