I figured you all would be stoked in the land down under. As an American I know its hard to realize that other countries exist but when you think globally, Manny and Bob are making a business move.

exactly dude this is a cool event to have down here it's all about business.

they'll be expensive as, the Green vs Mundine rematch was over the top. It's Manny though people will pay top dollar.

5K for ringside $35 for nose bleeds , I cant remember what the others were, just go in between lol.

Will get about 30-35k crowd I reckon mostly novelty night outers.

Im 2 hours out of Brisbane and its all low key even the Aussie boxing forums have little interest in it, they would have done much better fighting a name opponent Horn is unknown world wide and hardly anybody knows of him in Australia because local boxing is dead here.

The world PPV numbers which the government is planning on selling Aus too the world will be terrible so Im glad youre stoked but I think the aus taxpayer is going to lose a lot of money on event.

I see what you mean, but local and state Governments p*** enough money up the wall everyday so I'm happy to see a little more get wasted for a decent international event. Apparently the Qld Government is contributing $10m to the event, which isn't a lot considering how much gets wasted on other pointless tripe. The event won't pull 55k people though, no way maybe like 20k lol.
