How much did Pavlik get paid for fight Taylor?

[eyeloveboxing]

I was just wondering...

Good question.
Their rematch is definitely going to be a PPV.

Pavlik's management should book all of his fights at Boardwalk Hall just so he can fill the Arturo Gatti void.

I'm assuming six figures. Maybe somewhere between 600 and 800 thousand.

They are going with a mid-west approach to bring boxing back to that area. Which is great.... but then i wont be able to go to any of his fights.

oh, and PAVLIK made just over 1 million bucks for his fight with Taylor, and i believe i heard something recently about 3 million for Taylor... i could be wrong about that though. Im sure Pavlik got just over 1 mil though

1 million sounds reasonable...

Arum should offer more $$$ to Pavlik, he is going places...
Only 25 years old and Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the world.

Unofficially.

Being Undisputed at a weight class is dumb anyway, because just when you're about to seal the deal for a big fight, some mandatory challenge comes along and you got to take it to remain "undisputed".

He is the Universally recognized champ who beat the man that beat the Undisputed champ.

I see Kelly Pavlik as universally recongnized one and only true middleweight champion of the world.

Arthur Abraham and Felix Sturm who holds the IBF and WBA titles, they're just a paper champions. I hate ppl who says Pavlik have to fight those two ****ers to prove that he is the true champ and I don't see it that way.

No, Pavlik is the man at middleweight. AA and Sturm are a joke. I know some like AA, but he would be crushed by Pavlik and so would sturm. Hell neither could beat Taylor for that Matter.


Pavlick will unify. He will spend the next 2 years cleaning up the division, and he will take some easy fights like DUddy. The formula is well in place and promoters know that this has become a game of protecting the 0. Pavlik is young and can rule the division for ten years baring no crazyness. Why risk all those millions for the glory when you dont have to.

I hate that kind of mentality, but it is what boxing has become. Hang around long enough and you get your spot at the top of the p4p rankings. Jones did it, Hopkins did too, now Mayweather has spent his time with less than stellar opposition. The one thing they all have in common is their all very very rich. Why would pavlik do otherwise?

Like i said , I hate it, but it's the way it is!

[Steak]

Wait wait guys, what happened to that rumor that if Pavlik won, Arum or someone wanted to get him a cable TV fight?

**** PPV man its expensive, CABLE TV!!!! cmon!! Duddy vs. Pavlik would be a brawl for however long Duddy lasted, and it should get a decent amount of sports attention

Pavlik is the man at Middleweight, but honestly I did have both Winky and Spinks beating Taylor so its not like Jermain was some dominant champion. I don't want to take anything away from Pavlik though. He did knock Taylor out after all, and thats something no one else has done.
