[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After the two sides hit a serious roadblock, BoxingScene.com was informed that progress is being made in the ongoing negotiations to finalize a middleweight fight between WBC/WBO champion Kelly Pavlik and challenger Paul "The Punisher" Williams. The fight would take place on September 26 with Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City as the most likely venue. As previously reported, HBO is offering $3.75 million for the fight. Pavlik would get $1.75 [plus a piece of gate, etc.], Williams to get $1.55 and Top Rank would get $500K. [details]

I'm telling you. They need to each get a percentage of everything
even if it is not down the middle because like I said on another thread
they both need each other at this point BUT Paul Williams has a more
promising position with HBO AND could just land a fight with Sergei,
beat him and become champion at 154 and really build his stats up.
Bob Arum needs to budge a little and stop trying to be unrealistic.
If I represented Williams I wouldn't stand for him not getting a piece
of the gate OR sponsorship? That a few MILLION right there. I think
HBO is going to put the pressure on both sides but mostly on Arum to
make this happen. The deal don't have to be 50/50, it could be 55/45.
Apparently HBO is not interested in Pavlik as much as Williams so that's
a big edge in favor of Goosen.
