Kessler vs Perdomo on 9/12, Campillo vs Shumenkov 8/15

Why was the bid so high?

Also, I've read that Showtime will televise this fight alongside an Andre Ward tune up.

answered your own question there.
Probably got american tv money lined up to help pay the bill so they show Kessler to the americans to help promote the tournament

Nothing official

Herning or Flensburg.... I'm going!

There is nothing official from Sauerland on the time and place yet. But maybe the writer has heard something unofficial.

Herning or Flensburg, just south of the Danish border, would be marvelous....

whoa! whats that 4Mil euro?
kessler is getting some ice cream with his cake!

kessler has to be rusty after all these 2nd tier tuneups.

hope he gets some real pro's in his corner. palle could of ruined him.

The bid is roughly 1½ million euros. I cannot believe this fight is worth that much TBH.

Kessler will keep his trainer Ricard Olsen. That's ok in my book. Olsen will emphasize speed and footwork which along with the jab is Kessler's trademark.

Definitely interesting to see Kessler.

Hopefully it lasts longer than 7 rounds too.

I think that Sauerland was afraid that Team Palle might make a high bid in order to obstruct Kessler...

Could be. There might even have been 3 bidders here as Perdomo fights for Universum. I hope the bids will be disclosed.

General Manager Chris Meyer was pleased about the outcome. “We really wanted to promote Mikkel´s first fight as a member of our team,” he said. “We will announce the date and the venue soon.” The mandatory defence against Perdomo will be the Viking Warrior´s last fight before participating in SHOWTIME’s groundbreaking “Super Six World Boxing Classic.”

or that Universum/Spotlight might postpone the fight untl November so that Kessler could not defend his title.

2 million to fight a bum, but it will be slightly under a million with the various fees. All for fighting a bum, nice pay if you ask me.

Sauerland 2.114
Team Palle 1.115
Universum 211.638

Universum barely put any money on this. They wanted the other two to battle for the rights.
