As we all know Pavlik decided to cancel Saturday and a future fight with Bute. Was he right by canceling both fights. Based on his statement, their was a miscommunication between Pavlik and his manager regarding his earning for the cunningham fight. Thought
I dont understand how you sign a contract to fight and then the week before the fight you find out how much money you're making. The fact that it was in his hometown and on Showtime he should have just went through with it and moved on. Calling a million dollar and 50g payday peanuts when in the town you are from the majority of your fans dont earn 50k in a year or 1 million in a lifetime is just stupid.
I do Agree with Pavlik if he was getting that much to fight those other guys than yes he did the right thing. I don't think any of us would like to take a pay cut at our jobs either not if you were getting more money for the same thing you were doing before.
He was suppose to fight Cunningham than BUTE.............he cancell both because he was told he will make 50k in his home town against Cunningham and 1.5 million against Bute. For some reason he feels he should be making more money. The 50k fight i totally agree
