Goosen = fail. Please make the fight. If Williams unified JMW he'd still be lacking a signature name. This is perfect for him.

I agree, Sergio Martinez would be Paul's only problem, other then that, I see Paul cleaning up the division.

[street bully]

Pavlik is a loser. Paul is taking big gamle fighting a huge 160lber when Williams in my eyes is a big WW. Pay the man you bald ****.

Williams would most likely clean up JMW with relative ease.

[Allucard]

Pavlik will sellout what on himself? Ok, so do that, don't count on Williams sticking around forever waiting though. I hope they make it happen. Pav resume is par with Williams imo so there's no reason this isn't split in half. Otherwise Kelly may very well have to fill that arena on himself.

It doesn't matter who the bigger draw is, it's not a ppv fight.

HBO put that money up, Pavlik-Sturm was only gonna get 2 mil for their budget, this is almost double that. If I was on P-Will's team I'd ultimately take the fight with that split and be happy that Williams will be the new middleweight champ, but I'd negotiate for at least 1.75 mil.

Top Rank is actually right on this. Why in the hell would the gate be split in half when Williams has a very small following and Pavlik has a decent following? I think Paul should take this fight and be happy with the 1+ million dollar payday.

[el malo]

Paul dont deserve a piece of the gate cuz he wont sell any tickets. 1.5 million is a good pay for paul, its probably his biggest payday so stop being greedy and fight. stop ducking pavlik.
