View Full Version : The sad state of Australian boxing fans...
Dan... 05-25-2009, 11:47 PM ...has been demonstrated pretty clearly to me over the past couple of days.
Yesterday and today I have been inundated with requests from people as to whether I am buying the Mundine-Geale PPV. People have even offered to pay for the coverage and food if I get it.
Meanwhile I asked all the same guys if they wanted to watch Pacquiao-Hatton at mine (no monetary contribution required) and all bar two declined - not interested in the fight.
What a joke.
Infern0 05-26-2009, 12:02 AM I would have come round yours dan and i'd have bought some beers with me too!
Philfy 05-26-2009, 03:52 AM So, are you going to watch Geale/Mundine?
RightCross94 05-26-2009, 04:28 AM lol my coach and that are all watching it, mainly to support geale, they know the undercards are trash
if i were to watch it, it would have to be for free and if i had nothing whatsoever to do
JMM-PAC 05-26-2009, 04:17 PM is there gonna be a stream for the mudine fight? if any1 can get me one, i will give them 6k!

This is y Mundine is smart, he knows people couldnt give a rats arse about boxing.
So he goes into dramas other than boxing.And people in aussie just love the drama. I have the same drama at work, if people talk about any fight with me its to do with mundine or green. Who cares their nothing outside of aussie.
Dan... 05-26-2009, 06:27 PM So, are you going to watch Geale/Mundine?
Good god no.
I would literally prefer to stare at a blank wall for four hours. And that is no exaggeration.
**** giving that fake cunt any money or attention.
Infern0 05-26-2009, 06:29 PM Are you gonna watch sonny bill vs t. can?

I'm not fukn asking you. Fuk off.
Dan... 05-26-2009, 06:38 PM Are you gonna watch sonny bill vs t. can?
LOL, what a joke.
I was watching Fox Sports news yesterday and they said "the guy's nickname is Baboon and he is notorious for knocking out guys in pubs in Auckland".
Says it all really doesn't it?
JMM-PAC 05-26-2009, 06:40 PM I'm not fukn asking you. Fuk off.

We've been over this a million fukn times, I'm not doing it again. I don't hate him, he is just a joker.
brently1979 05-26-2009, 07:02 PM what the **** dude, why arent you wacthen this. pretty good fight if you ask me!
I would hate to see your idea of a bad fight then.
JMM-PAC 05-26-2009, 07:02 PM We've been over this a million fukn times, I'm not doing it again. I don't hate him, he is just a joker.
do you box or have you ever boxed? because you don't realize just how hard boxing damn is and mudine has done pretty well for himself, considering the age he started at!
and he's fighing a pretty good oppopent 2moz, geale is unbeaten, was a world class amature, and is rated by the ring magazine!
he's no bum!
hard fight for mudine!

LOL, how many times are you going to come up with this line ult? Seriously. You are getting so annoying I might have to utilise my ignore feature for the first time since I joined this site.
No, I've never boxed. What the fuk does that have to do with anything? Sure Mundine has done ok for himself, but the fact is he calls himself one of the greatest fighters ever yet he has never beaten anyone even resembling an A-level fighter. Geale is a good opponent? He is rated by Ring so he is good? LOL, you are a complete idiot.
Infern0 05-26-2009, 07:36 PM LOL, what a joke.

Lol on TVNZ 3 news last night they were saying that "Sonny Bill and Garry Gurr have captivated the boxing world!"
I nearly wet meself

ROFL - That is pretty damn funny.

thought so, well due to you never lacing a glove on, dont be to quick to call, as you don realize how much heart and courage it takes to step in them ropes as you never have or will.
i've boxed i know you don't and belive it when i say mudine is a good fighter, and you may not like him but to win a world title is one hard thing to do, and he done it.
so you just sit back, as youre only a armchair supporter, you can't really call anyone who gets in a boxing ring as you never have or will.

First up, that doesn't make sense.
Secondly, I have more knowledge about the fight game in one of my little toes than you will ever have in your entire body.
"Armchair supporter", lol. Fuk off with your illogical bull**** you dumb cunt.
Also, I guess SBW is a real warrior too right? I mean hell, the man is getting in there with an out-of-shape kiwi pub-brawler. He must be one of the GOAT!

its just a shame you never had enough courage to get in a boxing ring and fight, well you are only 24, why dont you start, nate campbell started at the same age?
you just gotta have heart, but have you?
and thats all you are is a armchair supporter fact. you have never laced on a glove, so who are you to call anyone? really?
TheManchine 05-26-2009, 08:23 PM LOL, how many times are you going to come up with this line ult? Seriously. You are getting so annoying I might have to utilise my ignore feature for the first time since I joined this site.

He asked me that about 5 times in pm's earlier :lol1:
It is clearly Ultimateboxa, he won't admit it though.

I probably don't have the heart, I have no idea, I have never tried to fight. I have zero intention of fighting either. I finished school and went to University so that I wouldn't have to do something like getting punched in the head to earn a living.
So what if I have never boxed? How does that have anything to do with my ability to analyse the sport? How can you not see that they are two separate things. Have I at any point said the sport was easy? No, it is the hardest sport, it is the reason why I love it.
Seriously, just how fukn dumb are you? You continue to make these fukn alts and recycle your typical irrelevant arguments. Get a life.

machine y didn't you answer me when i asked you if you boxed?

He is mentally retarded. Of that there is no doubt.
TheManchine 05-26-2009, 08:34 PM machine y didn't you answer me when i asked you if you boxed?
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. :theyareon
He is mentally retarded. Of that there is no doubt.
I used to find him kind of funny before. Now he's just annoying :nonono:
Philfy 05-26-2009, 10:29 PM I think there is more frustration than truth in the title of this thread.
These people you speak of, are they true boxing fans? Would they know a Marquez from a Morales? Or are they the type of people that the rogue elements within Australian boxing subscribe to, relying on their ignorance to generate a quick buck?
If so, I certainly wouldn’t describe them as ‘fans’. These fools do not deserve such an accolade. Their comments are to be taken with a grain of salt or ignored completely.

This is pretty much exactly my point though. The people that are classified as fans of the sport in Australia are like this. If we only included those of us with a reasonable perspective on boxing in the global sense there would probably be around 50 of us out of 21 million. The sick thing is it is actually these idiots that are keeping the sport ticking over (barely) in this country.

Sure it's unfair to be lumped into the same category as them, but you're preaching to the converted here. Perhaps the best way to combat the naivety of casual fans is by educating them.
I've done so with several of my 'casual fan' mates, and now they keep asking me when Lenny Zappa is fighting next. With a bit of patience you can help nearly anybody see the light.
I think boxing outside of the PPV arena is pretty healthy in this country. There are lots of smaller regional shows that do very well. Sadly the face of boxing will always be the main event, and it is unfortunate the smaller exhibitions are hardly recognised in the media.
There will always be idiots, and there will always be people who take advantage of them. Best not to lower yourself to either level.
tommy boo boxer 05-27-2009, 03:07 AM Lol on TVNZ 3 news last night they were saying that "Sonny Bill and Garry Gurr have captivated the boxing world!"

Look I've sparred with Light Heavys when I was a Super Lightweight, but that doesn't mean I have more Boxing knowledge than Danc. I have been in the Ring and I can say that I find his post very spot on and he is a very good poster on this Forum.
Just because people haven't boxed doesn't make then any less of a annalist of the sport. Look at the Merch, he didn't box and he is pretty spot on.
