    I havent seen an explanation as to how such a fight makes more in the US as opposed to Denmark. But since it has been explained COUNTLESS times it shouldn't be a problem for you you ****-for-brains.
    Yeah a catchweight offer is ******ed even if it was made. Go up to LHW or shut the **** up about it Team Kessler and just say hey- not gonna happen.

    As for Denmark vs. US please for the love of God stop. Just stop.

    Are you really going to tell us that Denmark is now some sort of fight capital and because the Euro is doing better than the dollar well it'll make more money for all the promoters and fighters? Really?

    **** man. I just can't imagine why the fight capital of the world has not yet been moved from Vegas to Copenhagen. ****** boxing promoters. Quick! Someone call Don King. He's losing money and doesn't even know it!

      Why won't he come to America?

      Can you please Alphabetize the excuses, I'm sure it's a long list....
      Like I said Kessler is not an option for Hopkins at this stage.

      Doesn't matter whether Kessler would offer to fight Hopkins in America or not, it will never happen.

      Hopkins doesn't have a problem with fighting in Europe, as a promoter he understands that a lot of money can be made there, but the only one he is willing to fight against is Joe Calzaghe for obvious reasons.

        Get lost. You're a joke who posts weekly updates on Kessler's life. I sure hope your around when your hero signs to fight another fraud.

          Kessler can fill Parken stadium if he fights either Calzaghe, Larsen or Hopkins.

          Consider this: When Kessler fought unknown Sartison ticketprices was around 150$ (give or take) for the cheapest. If Hopkins would come they would fill Parken I'm sure, and that at ticket prices of 200$ on average.

          So it's really down to who fights who and where. In Vegas they probably wont draw 5K people so casinoeconomy wouldn't make a difference.

            I honestly don't think a Hopkins vs Kessler fight would do anything in the U.S.

            It would have to be held in Denmark.

                    The offer was probably made by Kessler's team just to convince him that they are looking for the big fights.
