Sauerland to offer record sum for supersix winner.
In an interview with danish tabloid ekstrabladet.dk, Mikkel Kessler's promotor Kalle Sauerland says that he will approach the winner with the biggest offer ever for a supermiddleweight titlefight.
The offer will be for a fight against Mikkel Kessler in Copenhagen and provides that Kessler beats WBO champion Robert Stieglitz in March or April 2012. A fight with the supersix winner will unify 3 of the four major belts namely WBA, WBC and WBO.
"We'd love to make this fight in Parken, Copenhagen. We won't have to spend a single euro in promotion. Every single seat in the arena will sell itself given the magnitude of the fight", Sauerland says.
The previous record for purses at the weight was for the unification fight between Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, where both fighters allegedly received 5 million dollars.
