    for the 1000th time.

    he had a 3 fight contract with MAORI TV.

    he tried to get out of it to fight arreola on HBO but MAORI TV would not make a deal.

    this is the 3rd and final fight.

    talk crap afterwards. MAORI TV can't afford to pay for top of the line opponents.

      3 fights, AFTER cameron

      i.e theres another one AFTER Barett.

      why didn't he just fight 3 bums, once a week

        Tue needs this win so every top 10 heavyweight of the past five or six years can say they beat Monte.

        Terrible fight to chose, David.

          i think it's 3 counting cameron.

          let me double check.



          he should have but i think maori tv would not have been happy with that.

          cameron was big in new zealand. tua was actually just the opponent. cameron was the name in their fight.

          ahunanya is also well known in new zealand because he gave cameron his only loss.

            there was talk of an hbo/arreola fight after cameron.

            let's hope tua can get another offer from hbo after he beats barrett.



            tua is washed up but he can still give hbo a decent fight with the right opponent.

            maybe peter? arreola? adamek?

            someone who doesn't dance too much.

                They must not have had much faith left in Tua, Carmeron was plainly awful

                  a lot of the new zealander casual fans jumped on cameron's bandwagon.

                  remember even cameron's people thought tua was shot. they also kept delaying the tua fight so tua would be as rusty as possible.

                  that's why the cameron blowout was so sweet to the tua fans in new zealand.

                    that'll work.

                    shame mccall got arrested.

                    a washed up mccall and washed up tua fight would have been cool.



                    hey where's sultan?
