Kessler to battle Palle in court. Out at least a year?

[BattlingNelson]

According to several danish newspapers Mikkel Kessler's attourney Morten Rosenmejer today received a subpoena from Kessler's promotor Mogens Palle.


Mikkel Kessler and Mogens Palle now meets in court.

The move has been expected since March/April.

Next round of the Kessler-Palle feud will now be in the Copenhagen city court, which according to danish ekstrabladet.dk, means that Kessler cannot fight for other promotors as long as the trial lasts. The trial is estimated to last at least a year.

The main issue in the dispute is the number of options on Kessler Mogens Palle has left. Palle says 3 while Kessler says 1.

It is at this moment unclear wheter Kessler's mandatory defense against Gusmyl Perdomo will take place. Volontary negotiations started yesterday and is scheduled to last a month.

ffs a year. if he did this a year ago he'd be free by now. Why did this take so long to get to this stage?
At least he should be free fight who he wants when its finished. Then we'll know how good he is. Better this than fighting nobodies for the rest of his career i suppose.

Sad

Right, Bute and Froch needs to be made to determine number 1.

[Chunk..]

Kessler's best years will be gone by the time he gets into a ring again.

[street bully]

Kessler is done as a top fighter.

I checked into it a bit more. Kessler's lawyer says he has a good case and that "Kessler is looking forward to defend against Perdomo and to continue his career under a new promotional banner". He shakes his head when tabloid ekstrabladet.dk as a fact, states that Kessler cannot fight while the trial lasts.

This is confusing as well as complicated.

You know it is really sad that Palle wants to fight this. He and Kessler have had a long professional relationship. He is willing to severely delay or ruin Kessler's career this late in the stage. Take a buyout but take something.

Greed has no bounds I guess.

its a warning to other fighters that are thinking about leaving him.
"dont **** with me or I'll ruin you. I own you"
Didnt he do the same to Laursen?
