Sauerland is trying to make a Kubrat Pulev vs. Tony Thompson fight

[The Hammer]

Since Bryant Jennings' promoter Russell Peltz turned down a six-figure offer from Sauerland, now they are trying to get the next-highest ranked IBF contender to fight Pulev, namely Tony Thompson.

Russell Peltz used some fight from thirteen years ago involving a different promoter as an excuse for Bryant Jennings to avoid Kubrat Pulev:

PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing
@SauerlandBros management is aware of the six figure payday & we are aware of what happens fighting in Germany, ask Charles Brewer.

[The Hammer]

Thompson makes his own decisions, unlike Jennings he doesn't have an over-protective promoter.

Tony has been successful fighting overseas in the past, winning in UK (Price x 2) and in Germany (Krasniqi & Serin).

Damn I was hoping Wilder would get to Thompson first. Still a good fight though.

Lulz Well Pulev better avoid America or he'll end up like Axel Schultz or Kotelnyk or Campillo. Peltz is a clown who has no faith in his boxer. Stay in America fighting domestic bouts so maybe Jennings can become NABF Champion.

There are just as many bad decisions in fights involving foreign fighters in America as there are in Germany.

What he's really saying is that his fighter is scared to fight abroad. Not a good look considering the pulse heavyweight division is in Europe right now.

well Pulev-Thompson is a better fight anyway, no? Pulev is the most avoided fighter in all of boxing right now. Whether he's earned that distinction or not, it's the truth.

[Hougigo]

Good for Thompson. This is what he wanted.
Don't know what Jennings manager is thinking. Where else is Jennings going to get 6 figures... NBC sports?

Yes, it's true.

Thompson has been avoided too. Chambers refused to fight him in the IBF final eliminator a couple of years ago and Haye turned down a fight with him and chose Barrett in late 2008.

Hopefully Thompson takes this bout, I like it. Pulev is being avoided like the plague right now.
