Kelly Pavlik-Paul Williams Hits a Serious Roadblock

[memz]

well..

pwill and his promoter are always complaning about how he never gets fights and how hes always avoided Im sure that what he is getting offered for this fight would be among his biggest paydays. Quit pulling this ***** move of trying to get equal split, looks like Williams is gonna price himself out of a great fight that all the fans wanna see. Grow some balls and step up or shut up

If Williams does pass up this chance to fight Pavlik, I wonder how much of it would be Goosen's fault. And how much money is he going to get fighting some unknown Ukranian fighter? It looks to me like that fight would pay him peanuts. At first I thought Paul Williams would beat Kelly Pavlik. But after what has went on, I may have to reassess my opinion. I think it was a punk move on Cotto's part to go after Paul's belt once he vacated it to move up in weight. But is Williams going to wait until Pavlik outgrows 160 and go after his vacant belt? I hope not. Dumb, dumb move on his part to not take this fight under the current circumstances.

**** that oscar de la hoya biggest payday ****.pay p. williams and get this fight signed. bob arum just did this biggest payday **** to cotto for the pac fight. pay p. williams ffair market value and pavlik still should get the bulk.but pay paul fairly.

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 ****.

So what if Williams is taking a gamble? What does that have to do with anything?

Relative to Pavlik, Williams brings very little revenue to the fight. That is the difference.

Pavlik is the draw, Pavlik is the titleholder. Pavlik should get a great deal more of the money. Simple stuff.

**** gettin stuck on a treadmill chasin after Pavlik. Pwill, get your ass to 154 and run that ****. Yours for the takin.

The problem is he wont get any BIG recognition for beating anyone at 154.

160 has huge names like Pavlik there ready to be beaten. The WW and Middleweight divisions are the most talented and most renown in boxing.

154 really has never had a hayday but settles for already shot and overweight past champs that still maintain a name.

[lcheezy]

pavlik won't fight sturm.he's scared of abraham so who else is he going to fight. last i checked pavlik was trying to fight all 154 smaller fights like martinez and mora. what kind of **** is that. since his slow ass got exposed by B-hop his heart has gone *****.

[handler000]

paul have you been hanging out with juanma lopez lately?

Are you one of those people who can't comprehend what they have read? It's not Paul wanting more money, it's Goosen wanting more of the promotional pie!!!

[RingDynasty]

Pavlik is so full of himself... And Bob Arum thinking he is a draw is out of his mind. ANY fight in Boardwalk Hall would sell out. Pavlik's whole demeanor is getting on peoples' nerves now-a-days. He was avoiding Abraham when he would probably win that fight. And then he wasn't involved in the tourney.. He side-stepped Mora and is now working on side-stepping Sturm and Williams.. Maybe he too wants a crack at Manny Pacquiao? He is becoming a bit spoiled for someone who can't generate any PPV sales on his own. Grow some Kelly, get your ass whipped by Paul already..

[MegatronCEN*CAL]

I like Paul, but how can you fight him over Abraham and Felix? Makes no sense.

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 ****.

Hold on a minute. Pavlik is a huge MW, while Williams is just a big WW?

Kelly looked small next to Taylor:



is shorter than Williams, who still looks bigger in the ring



Williams, who dwarfed Winky Wright, a large SMW. Here is Paul next to Arreola, listed at 6'4". Can't find the picture where Paul looks taller than Chris.

Objectivity, try it sometime.

Don't forget, Williams comes into the ring within a few pounds of Pavlik, whether he's fighting at WW, JMW, or MW.
