[_Hunter_]

i hope ur right bat. i would like to see the fight.

So do I mel. I really think that "Sturm is going for Pavlik instead" is so ****** an excuse as Pavlik is scheduled to fight Rubio, so it must be a smokescreen.

I will eat a hat if Sturm fights Pavlik next!

what sturm doesnt get is that the reason AA want to fight him and not Pavlik is because Arum is trying to build Pavs confidence back up by a few easy fights like rubio. If pavlik unified against anyone it would be aa, not sturm.

First of Sturm says he wants the fight, but has made no offer to Abrahams team AFAIK. Odd.

Abrahams team make an offer which even that, is probably Sturms biggest wager, and potential wager. The team turn it down saying we need to reach 3 million and then we'll gladly accept the fight. So make a counter offer then or something?

Then Abrahams team make a second offer of 2.5 mill, given 3 million is a definite acceptance in their words, 2.5 is surely close enough to be seriously considered and accepted? Nope, they rule it out quickly citing a new excuse of, it's an ultimatum and doesn't sit well with Sturm.

Sturm has rarely if ever really talked of a fight soon with Pavlik, and neither has Pavlik vice versa. It'd earn less money all around since Pavlik being recently dominated, and Sturm less of a name in the US than AA. Plus Sturm would recieve a smaller share of the pot.

So given that and saying they want 3 mill, they now say they want Pavlik? Makes no fucking sense. Complete duck and the fans are losing out. I think this is hampering the chance for a full undisputed champion as they can't all stay at 160 forever even if they do finally sort fights out.
