Mundine fight: Mick Gatto behind push to see Floyd Mayweather fight Anthony Mundine at the MCG Anthony Mundine and Mick Gatto are hoping to lure Floyd Mayweather Jr. to fight at the MCG. UNDERWORLD figure Mick Gatto is behind an audacious plan to lure the world's highest paid athlete, Floyd Mayweather Jr, or his heir to the boxing throne Saul Alvarez, to fight Anthony Mundine at the MCG in front of 100,000 people. Gatto, now a personal sponsor of Mundine's, believes either Mayweather or redhead Mexican superstar Alvarez can be lured to Australia should Mundine win his next fight and become the mandatory challenger for Mayweather's WBC title. Mundine fights undefeated banger Sergey Rabchenko on November 12 in Melbourne, and the winner will claim the WBC silver light middleweight champion and become the No. 1 challenger for Mayweather. "If Mundine wins this fight, Mayweather has either got to relinquish the title or fight him, and if he fights him, we're going to try to lure him to Australia, it will be at the MCG, it will be early in the morning, 10am or 11am, it will be beamed right around the world," Gatto told the Sunday Telegraph. It will be the biggest fight held in Australia ever. It is a long shot, but if he wins, they've either got to fight or vacate. Anthony Mundine speaks at a press conference to promote his November 12 fight against Sergey Rabchenko. I don't think the Australian public quite realise how massive this fight is (between Mundine and Rabchenko). It is unlikely Mayweather would agree to fight Mundine for his next bout, with great pressure being put upon him to face long-time rival Manny Pacquiao next year. Alvarez, however, could be a viable option. His promoters Golden Boy had already spoken to Mundine about a fight between the pair should the Australian have beaten Joshua Clottey in his previous bout, one in which Mundine was beaten badly over 12 rounds. But if Mundine can now defeat the power-punching Belarussian Rabchenko, he may be able to entice Alvarez to the MCG, with an expected record attendance to cover his estimated $5 million base price, which won't include pay-per-view takings. Mundine's only hope of landing a dream fight with Mayweather is that the ring king uses him in a promotional sense. Mayweather's past few fights have rated lower than expected, and if he doesn't fight Pacquiao due to their ongoing money dispute, there are few fighters in the mix who could generate the hype Mundine is used to creating. Anthony Mundine needs to beat Sergey Rabchenko if he hopes to land a fight against Floyd Mayweather. "They're struggling to sell fights, they're looking for characters, they're looking for something different - I'm something different," Mundine said. Once the people of America know about my story, as an Aboriginal, as a crossover sportsman, being cocky and loud and brash, they need something different and I think I fit the bill. I don't want to fight Floyd straight away, I want to earn my shot, and I want to fight Alvarez. It's a crazy idea (bringing him out to the MCG) but (Gatto and promoter Brian Amatruda) believe in me like I believe in me. When I'm mentally there, not Rabchenko, not Alvarez can beat me. Only Floyd can match me. I feel I'll beat any man on my night. They're the biggest names in sport and it would be a new challenge for them fighting in Australia. It would create massive interest, the whole country would stop. But nothing can happen without beating Rabchenko. Mundine, 39, faces a 28-year-old who has won all 25 of his bouts, 18 by knockout. Gatto recently had his boxing licence stripped by Victorian premier Denis Napthine so was forced to be involved in this bout as a sponsor, but said he would be "involved in some way" in landing the MCG superfight.
