Larsen vs Magee Heads To a Purse Bid For Euro Title
By Mark Vester
Promoter Hans-Henrik Palm confirmed to lionheart-boxing.dk that the bout between Mads Larsen and Brian Magee for the European super middleweight title, and previously agreed up on for January 30, is is now again heading to a purse bid. Palm is worried that Larsen's former promoter Sauerland Event will start a lawsuit to prevent the card from going forward so he invited Sauerland to give them a chance to win the purse bid set for December 3.
"I myself have chosen to let it go to purse bid because Sauerland, if I win, they can not interfere in the event. I actually invited them," says Hans-Henrik Palm for LB.dk.
"I have initially stated that Mads Larsen's big comeback in Aarhus will be a happy and perfectly smooth boxing event. When I suddenly became aware that the Germans were now directly threatening to try to stop the European championship match and/or pursue with the litigation, I decided to ask the EBU to send the match back to a purse offer. If everything runs as I expect that it will do, we will instead start ticket sales on the next Monday, December 7."
