Danny Green On Making The Biggest Fight In Australian History A Commercial Knockout
After a stellar career, the former world champ doesn’t have anything to prove. Sure there’s plenty of pride on the line, but the Green Machine doesn’t shy away from the fact that one of Australia’s most bitter rivalries is profitable for both fighters.
With a packed Adelaide Oval and millions of television viewers, it is said to the biggest fight in Australian history.
In an Off-Field exclusive, Danny squeezed us in for a chat during his preparations and we talked in detail about how the re-match came about, as well as the commercial aspects of the blockbuster event.
Danny says negotiations about who would get the biggest cut of prize money took ten years! Danny operates as his own promoter, so he knows the details better than anyone.
