Kessler perhaps Closer to Calzaghe?

[uppercut_84]

Lacy's fight was at 2am in the morning, the arena was packed out. Apparently 6 million people stayed up to watch it as well in UK.

I think Taylor will end up fighting Pavlik. Leaving Kessler as the only option for 22nd September in Manchester.

They TURNED DOWN $3m PLUS a share of the gate receipts?

****ing hell. This is why I hate promoters.

And Warren/ Calzaghe? TURNED DOWN $5 mill plus tv-rights for GB for a fight against Kessler in Copenhagen

[SHB]

Not according to Warren. I wouldn't trust any of what Warren or Palle make public - you're the fool who seems to be believing every bit of drivel Palle states. Anyway, Calzaghe is the champ - you've got to do an awful lot better than offer the sort of money he'd get from a bout against pretty much anyone at home.

I would have taken it though if I was Calzaghe. An easy fight against a typical european two puncher.

It looks like they want to fight the rugby player again. Now there's a legacy fight right there.

Mogens Palle stands firm concerning his offer to Frank Warren of the 5 mil $ plus tv-rights for GB to get the match to Denmark, but as it seems it holds no interest in the Calzaghe camp.

Are you Palle? You must be Palle.

Calzaghe's end of the Warren offer is probably at least $5m so why would he go to the challenger's back yard for the same or less money than he'd get at home?

[!!! Beowulf !!!]

I think Warren has already decided to stage this fight, and is just driving a hard bargain.


It'll be the right time for Khan to fight again on the undercard against a good opponent. With Froch confirmed as well it has the makings of an enticing event with an enticing undercard.

They just need to somehow make this fight happen. This would be a great event for boxing. Calzaghe and Kessler should fight and Taylor and Pavlik should fight. With the winners facing each other for MW supremacy.

[Peder]

Warren's offers go up and down eh?
If HBO really demands this fight, Warren will loose more than 2 mill $ if he doesn't take it.

I think Taylor will end up fighting Pavlik. Leaving Kessler as the only option for 22nd September in Manchester.

I do as well, havent seen the taylor fight, but HBO may want him to fight Pavlik,

To be fair it gives Calzaghe the chance to clean up his own division, although im beggining to think the fight wont happen,

too many excuses.
