what made it into a joke?
I can't stand the bloke either but if you consider Danny Geale for a minute. Everyone loved him when he fought Mundine, did anyone tune in to watch him fight Barker after that or how often does the media mention him. Unfortunately Mundine makes headlines (for all the wrong resins) and thats what draws the punters in.
A bit like the current crop of skanky female singers, they flash their bits on camera, their video clips are almost pornos, they are car wrecks waiting to happen, but it makes em the most hits on youtube and sells big time.
I hate it, it's our own fault tho, if no one mentioned Mundines fights or went to the pub to see him get smacked and didn't buy papers that headline him, he'd fade away. But we all wanna see him get smacked, he couldn't give a toss if U and I think he's a first class wa#*%r, it's making him a lot of money.
Look at that, he's got us talking about him tonight on a camping forum
