    It would be a UFC 'B' show (but it's not like a top level card would engross the nation either way) and it would take place at a different hour. He must think his fans are idiots.

      Just checked out what type of card it is and it features Jones vs Teixera. Outside of the main event it is C or even D class.

      In regards to taking place at another time he should have written to Main Event the PPV provider, asking to stage both events on the same day instead of writing to Ken Hershman lol

        Wants Australians to be able to watch the fight but can't do it because it HAS to be on ppv?

        There's no reason this couldn't be shown for free on cable or even better on Free to Air tv. It would just mean Geale wouldn't make as much.

        Maybe if he did a couple of fights on free tv he might have a big following here to buy his ppv fights instead of being greedy and chArging $40 to watch him fight Garth Wood.

            What's that supposed to mean? You don't believe he's spent time inside?

              Well if Geale isn't getting himself on Australian PPV to fight one of the world's best MWs then he'll be getting paid a hell of a lot less than he wants. So it makes sense, he probably thinks it's not worth the risk otherwise.

              If Geale makes another excuse post-April then I'm willing to call it a duck.

                  LOL I just realized that this isn't even a show taking place in Australia, it's just another monthly UFC show from the US.

                  Wow, how embarrassing. Clear duck and he even makes boxing look second rate with his bs excuse.

                    If I was about to get knocked out by GGG I'd want as much money as possible too
