Warren offers Kessler $5 million for September fight

[PunchDrunk]

If this is legit, then the fight needs to be made...


Edit: This is according to Danish tabloid B.T.

Kessler has never had such a high pay in his life. In fact, I am quite sure he has never been paid more than $1 million for a fight.

Calzaghe are ducking Kessler.

That article is probably just repeating what the news of the world printed last Sunday.

His last two fights, he got nearly $2million for each. No matter though, they should accept this if it's for real.

Doesn't make sense. If Warren has just doubled his offer how does that mean that Calzaghe is ducking Kessler?

He's being ironic. And taking a stab at Jangeorg's English at the same time, I think...Very mature.

it doesn't. The danes will somehow spin it to make it look like he is though.

It's encouraging to see that there may be some actual negotiations taking place. Nothing will be there for Calzaghe in July save the mandatory, and if he takes that fight (against Inkin), alot of American fans will collectively shake their heads and turn their backs. He needs to take advantage of the HBO airtime and fight Kessler. If he wins, he has a strong argument as best 168 lber ever...

Taylor, Winki, Calzaghe, Kessler these guy should give us a combined 9-12 fights over the next 2-3 years yet we've only seen one match up which was a pretty damn good fight. Two american champs two euro champs, so much potential to turn all four of these guys into international stars. so fustrating to not see these fights and put up w/ calzaghe v. realworld contestants.

If this is for real, Kessler should take it. Otherwise he would have some explaining to do..

I have yet to read it, but I expect Palle to tell if it’s for real, if it has allready been in the Danish media.
