3-fight option is cornerstone of the Kessler-Palle fall-out.

[BattlingNelson]

The Kessler vs. Palle feud is drawing big headlines in Denmark today. From various sources I think the issue is a three fight option and MONEY.

3-fight option:
On the advice of his manager Bettina Palle, Kessler signed a contract to fight then-mandatory Danilo Haussler. The contract included a 3-fight option for Bettinas father Mogens to arrange for Mikkel Kessler.

Kessler's side states that the 3 fights was Haussler (done), Larsen (cancelled) and Perdomo (mandatory to be fought this summer).

Team Palle says that none of the 3 options has been accomodated.

MONEY:
Kessler's side states that Palle ows Mikkel money from the scandinavian PPV revenue generated from the Calzaghe fight.

Team Palle says that Kessler should only receive his purse.


Untill today only Palle has made public comments in the press. Today Kessler came out stating his side of the story because he felt Palle made him look greedy and a chicken.

Still a lot of pieces of the fall-out likely kept beyond the public eye.

It's really a shame to see a quality fighter waste away a good portion of the prime of his career over **** like this.

All the luck to him to get this sorted out and start fighting some quality opposition.

I hope to God Kessler can sort this out. Id love to see him beat the **** out of the Carl Froch/Taylor winner

Guerrero just lost a bunch of time off his career dealin wit promotional woes. He didn't help himself wit his most recent comeback fight either. Hope this don't waste more of Kessler's prime time, which he's done enuf of already.
