Mogens Palle respons to Warren`s bull****

[jangeorg]

11.04.07 - Mogens Palle is wondering whether WBO super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe, who now admits he broke his left hand in his "cartoon fight" with no-hoper Peter Manfredo Saturday night in Wales, will actually face any credible or capable opponent in London July 21.

"Where can promoter Frank Warren find a doctor who would advise a boxer who breaks his hand to fight on two month's rest? I find Calzaghe and Warren to be like "Alice In Wonderland" as things just get "curiouser and curiouser" with them. Maybe I should say it's "Joe In Warrenland," Palle said
We know now that Warren has another punch bag, cartoon type opponent in mind for July. Warren's next trick will be Dennis Inkin or someone of his limited ilk who Joe can beat up with his injured left hand tied behind his back,." Europe's leading promoter for 50 years said. "Warren comes up with one novelty act after another but this would be a classic British Panto show. Warren does not mind stinking up all of London with Inkin."

Palle repeated his constant assertion that his undefeated WBC-WBA super middleweight champ Mikkel "Viking Warrior" Kessler stands ready to go to the United Kingdom in September for a unification bout against the unbeaten Calzaghe. Palle said he and Kessler will accept terms and conditions of "complete parity" or a 50-50 all revenue split for the much-anticipated showdown

Palle is right Warren does not mind stinking up all of London with Inkin. He is about making money not fights. He doesn't want his moneymaker Calzaghe to be in their with somebody who can test him. Kessler is even willing to go to the UK. They should just make it an even payday and make this fight happen. Boxing fans deserve it.

Palle is a ***** himself. kessler dont deserve 50-50.

[askoe]

50-50 against Kessler would probably make Warren more money than 90-10 against Inkin!

Warren offered Kessler 1.75 million + Scandinavian & German TV rights. However I've been hearing that Morgan Palle also wants to co-promote the Fight Card, which would mean half the revenue as well on top. That is crazy as Manfredo's fight got 35,000 people, which would have generated over £2 million + ITV + HBO. The main draw is Calzaghe.

I think Calzaghe should wait and fight Kessler in September. At least Kessler is willing to come to UK, which I respect him for it.

I want the fight to happen and I like Kessler, but you are INSANE if you think they should give Kessler/Palle 50-50. 60-40 would be generous enough.

[uppercut_84]

You know I honestly don't know how Calzaghe can fight on July 21.

I mean, it would take 4-6 weeks for his fracture to heal. Then he would have to do light training for a few more weeks, then do proper training for a few more weeks as well as sparring. How can he be ready for July 21?

[SHB]

Parity eh. FFS. Only a fool would think that is likely or fair.

Here's hoping this fight happens though.

[Parody]

Calzaghe might be the bigger draw but not my much, actually its pretty much even, Kessler-Andrade sold out 22,000 seats and Andrade is literally a nobody, Kessler is a household name in Denmark and a big one as well, you could probably ask a non casual fan in denmark if they know him and they will tell you yes, Calzaghe-Manfredo sold 35,000+ but thats not only because of Calzaghe, Manfredo had a lot to do with it as he is a big name in USA and in UK as well due to the Contender.

I'm getting real sick of the politics of boxing.
