    Pavlik will walk all over Wright if this fight is confirmed.
    Wright is giving himself more credit than he should on a financial basis.

      How so? In the words of Jay-Z, "men lie, women lie, numbers dont". Hes not asking for more money, hes just saying that his fights have done better numbers than Kelly's so to say that no one wants to see it, is just not true. A win over Wink makes Pavlik a bigger name, so i dont see why Bob just dont try to make it happen.

        God I hope Winky is truthful when he says he doesn't care about the money, and he just wants the fight.

        Pavlik vs. Wright is probably the best middleweight fight that can be made now that the rematch has been taken care of.

          Interesting that he's willing to give Pavlik the better purse, hopefully this fight or the Abraham fight gets made.

            winky just said a few weeks ago about how who is kessler, and he don't deserve him, or the money he brings, etc... he is getting old. he had chances to have good fights, and got greedy. now he realizes it, and that he is not getting anywhere from that route, so he takes this route. i am disappointed. at least take a stance, and stick by it. don't change what u said a few weeks earlier. it makes you look like a man who is going back on his word. he ain't the champ, he got no clout or say in the matter. now he is realizing it, but now it is not up to him at this point! he has not had a good win in a long time, and riding on the coattails of his career from the 154 days is not gonna work anymore!

              I say **** it, just let the fight happen and hope that Pavlik loses, so that WLADOWNS and Tunney get so depressed they jump off a cliff together holding hands!!!!

              Na but seriously, Im never excited about Winky fights, although his fight with Taylor was really entertaining...

                i would much rather abraham, and sturm! i want to see teh middleweight titles unified. at this point winky offers little, and i am not seeing him as deserving of a shot!

                  No disrespect but Winky’s fights aren’t exciting and he isn’t a draw. Hopkins-Wright was boring and wasn’t a huge seller. He’s not a crossover star, nobody knows who he is.

                    He's a big name though, if they were willing to put Duddy in with Pavlik, I don't see why they won't put him in with Winky.

                    I agree that I want the Abraham fight to happen, the Sturm fight probably won't happen because Sturm won't fight outside Germany.
