i read that if joe calzaghe fights mikkel kessler, kessler's camp wants the purse split 50-50... quite frankly, i'm not a big fan of either of them, but i at least think calzaghe should get more money
So the fight is in the UK now then? If so then Palle is a complete and utter amateur. Calzaghe agreed to terms for this to be in Copenhagen and now we're haggling over a deal for the UK? Jesus.
Kessler needs to get away from that bumbling amateur sharpish. Mind you, I do fear for his career after finally fighting someone worth a damn. This'll be like Veit all over again ... although I suspect Veit II rather than the first one.
Worst excuse ever.
WHO THE FUCK IS KESSLER?
55/45, at the minimum in favour of Calzaghe.
kessler is your daddy..
if joe wants fight in his backyard, he should pay for it.. and then a 50/50 split would be fair..
if it was in denmark, i would say joe would get 60, as mikkel has to pay for homefield
kessler should get most if not all the money plus calzaghes house cause he's better
Kessler DEMANDING a 50/50 split is not the same as him realisticly expecting to get it. Think it's negotiating tactics, and they'll settle a bit short on that.
Not too far short though. Bringing two major belts AND accepting to fight in the UK entitles Kessler to a pretty decent share - at least in the minds of Kessler, his team and his fans.
Seems promoters have worked out their differences (who would have thought that would ever happen) and its now mostly a TV-rights thats causing trouble. That could still cause way too much trouble for the fight to be made. Even if it's all signed there's still a million things that can ruin it all.
If it actually happens i wanna go on record saying i believe in a Kessler victory. But i'll only have him a slight fave. in the UK. 55-45 or so.
I wouldn't be too surpriced seeing Kessler win by stoppage. Calzaghe getting frustrated at being unable to controll things like he normally can takes increasing amounts of chances trying to apply more pressure and sooner or later gets clipped by an accurate shot that he just won't recover from.
