Felix Sturm Turns Down Offer For Arthur Abraham Fight, Wants Kelly Pavlik

[BattlingNelson]

Universum Box-Promotion have turned down Team Sauerland´s 2.5 million-euro offer for a unification clash between IBF middleweight champion King Arthur Abraham and WBA title-holder Felix Sturm. “We will not pick up negotiations at the time being,” Klaus-Peter Kohl stated in a press release. “For us it was not a serious offer but an ultimatum.” [details]

Universum is getting worse as Kohl gets older.

Abraham needs to look to the bigger names overseas: Pavlik, Mundine and Wright. I'm hoping Pavlik will fight him.

[Silencers]

Sturm and his team don't want Abraham, it was pretty clear a year ago, it's pretty clear now.

2.5 million euros...

Sturm should have taken it..

I think they handed him this much because they knew it would take alot to get him.

[BattlingNelson]

I am baffled by this. Sturm has publicly challenged AA so this is a big surprise.

IF it's true that is!

What's important here is that it's a press release from team Abraham and can be seen as part of the negotiating battle. I must say that if the fight doesn't come off I'll be as disapointed as I'll be schocked.

I knew the fight wouldn't be made. They're talks about this after every Sturm fight. Let's face it, this fight will never happen.

[The Gully Gad]

Strum has lost his bottle for a while when it comes to AA...
Strum is another one that dosent really impress me so i did
hope AA would knock the gimp out with his fake oscar self....

[kenso]

wouldnt this be by far a career high pay day for sturm?

sad
