Just spoke with Mogens Palle (Kessler promoter)

[SHB]

No, YOU seem to be under the assumption, and certainly Warren does too. Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking like Kessler turned down a fight with Calzaghe. He turned down a bad deal, yes. If there's to be negotiations, then he hasn't turned down a Calzaghe fight. Sort of undermines everything you've said about Kessler ducking Calzaghe.

Edit: I read a few places that Taylor got 7 million for Ouma, I'll try to find it. You won't believe it anyway, unless it comes from Warren, though...

You remind me of my 5 year old. It goes in one ear and out the other with him as well. Never mind.

It's on JC's homepage

Yes.. Kessler also has a bad history of hand injury

Thanks. Minor wrist fracture which will take 4 weeks to heal. That's the equivalent of a chipped fingernail given his past issues.

Wasn't aware of Kessler's hand problems. Damn shame that. I'd get used to a lot of criticism from across the Atlantic for dodging their next big hope if I were you.

Anything to avoid answering my points, eh?

There were points?

Anyway, it seems the offer to Taylor was £3m sterling, which is approx $6m USD. That's what it says on Calzaghe's website anyway, but I guess you're going to dismiss that?

I'll dismiss it as long as I don't see it somewhere a little more credible (like you did with Calzaghe's hand injury). There's still the little problem with Warren wanting the fight in July, when Taylor's fighing in late May. Does that tell you nothing?

Edit: I think I'm gonna let you talk to yourself for a while, until you start addressing my points, instead of the childish personal stabs you avoid the painful bits with. Have fun!

Late May? Have they pushed it back a couple of weeks?

So the official Calzaghe website is not a credible source then? Well, I think that just sums it all up.

[PunchDrunk]

If Taylor turns down $6 million, I expect to see it on Taylor's site, not Calzaghe's.

[Peder]

If these guys do want the fights, but arent happy with the bids, why dont they make a counter bid?

Its all fair enough saying that you want someone but arent being offered enough money, but at least Warren and Calzaghe are chasing the big fights, what are the big fighters doing?

They did, or at least team kessler did (Taylors people may still be laughing - they need time to recover from that one). 50:50 for a fight in the UK, and they are trying to come up with an offer to let the fight happen in the US as far as I know.

If he runs off and faces Inkin, he should be prepared to listen to a lot of criticism.

Kessler turned down $1.75m to fight Calzaghe? Wow. So much for money not acting as a barrier to that fight happening.

And Calzaghe turned down $3,4m to fight Kessler in Denmark,so that???

[GEOFFHAYES]

Taylor has been offered £1.6million.
