Adamek vs. Gunn To Happen, July 11 in Newark

[daggum]

500k was probably the initial offer, Ive read Schaffer say it was 1mil, so it probably ended at 1mil and when Adamek turned it down they stopped negotiating.

i heard it was up to 1.2 mill. the guy just doesn't wanna fight anyone tough anymore. another calzaghe.

Isn't that the guy that also said Hopkins was interested in pursuing a fight with David Haye?

[daggum]

Depends on how you look at it. IMO, it's an investment, i.e he would have made even more money in the future if he would have fought hopkins for a smaller percentage, beat him and been in the position to demand for a higher split.

yea too bad the geniuses at main events don't understand that. and that is why they are one of the ****tiest promoters in the game and their fighters live in cardboard boxes.

undisputed? hmmmm you don't know what that means apparently.

Steve Cunningham was the #1 cruiserweight, IBF, Ring Magazine champ.

Adamek whooped his ass and became the IBF, Lineal, Ring Magazine Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion.

You are the undisputed most hateful ***** on boxingscene.

All you ever do is bash European fighters - you hate every single one.

Adamek agreed to fight Hopkins, but he was made a humiliating offer, because Hopkins didn't really want the fight. Adamek sought a fight with Johnson, a better fight for the fans, but the Euro-haters like daggum at HBO and Showtime didn't want to show it. Then, Adamek tried to settle for a good young cruiserweight Godfrey as an opponent for less money on another ShoBox appearance. The Euro-haters like daggum turned that down, even though the boxing fans liked Adamek's last appearance against Banks.

So it seems he has to settle for Gunn, although his promoter chose this opponent, not Adamek himself. Ideally he should offer to defend his title against a Sauerland cruiserweight contender like Licina, Huck or Hernandez and appear on one of their cards in Europe. The three I mentioned are all ranked by the IBF already, Gunn is not, although he is WBC #15.

i hate this fight. Make no mistake Adamek is a huge draw.

I was at 2 of his fights and attendance was 22k at one place and 13 k at the other, both sell outs.

I swear I was in frickin Poland.

I think Adamek could do quite well in any major us city.

I've witnessed this first hand.

He definitely has some bargaining power at this stage of the game.

Why do you hate Europeans, daggum?

I know why, but I don't think anyone else does, so please explain.
