SA Footy

I'm going for chocko who should be underdog with the large weight disadvantage.
Skills pays the bills baby!

I hope Green knocks that ******* wankers ******* head off.

May even head along to witness it.

Mundine knows he will lose at that weight. He all but admitted it on 5AA last night.
There is a reason he has avoided the rematch

Mundine v Green at Adelaide oval.

A miss match.

Money cannot buy health.

Green will put you in a Coma.

Anthony, it's time to hang the gloves.

Walk away.

"The Man" would be too proud to walk away

There is 7 million reasons why Mundine wouldn't pull out. Superannuation fight

What a waste of everyone's time and effort, this is one of the most pointless fights in boxing history and nothing more than a retirement fund boosting bout for these once great boxers

The slowdown of the boxing world!!!

This fight should of have happened over 5 years ago

Seems that we, the taxpayers, have fronted up about $3m to have the fight here.

Wonder how ticket sales are going?

It'll generate much more than that in tourism, the government should do things like this more often.

Not sure how ticket sales are going but there's no way I'll be going, I just saw the price of tickets and where some of them are!
Pub with cheap beers for me.

I heard a pollie say for every dollar the government invests in major events we get a $35 return. Can't be right, other wise we'd be spending $700m on events not the Oval!

free ticket.

Ticket sales are reportedly "very, very poor" from my insider at Adelaide Oval.

Heard that too.. apparently only 22k sold

I'd heard "about 20,000" so adds up. Can't see many people coming in from interstate then if the number is that low.

Remember, the SA gubinment spent $3m to have it here....

Yep it's what i've heard also.

Not surprising given:

a) the cost of tickets
b) as WHUFC said the calibre of boxers - two older guys who are past their prime
c) the fact every bloody pub in Adel seems to be showing the fight with drink specials etc

d) this rematch is far to late in their careers and know one wants to see two old has been beating each other up....

I'm not a boxing fan but would have still gone for the experience if the tickets weren't so expensive.

Everyone said that last time Green would knock him out.
Mundine made him look stupid.

I hope Green wins but Mundine is a proud man who will be hard to beat.
