Pavlik/Williams: The Numbers Game Continues

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The negotiations continue for a middleweight collision between Kelly Pavlik, the WBC/WBO middleweight champion, and Paul Williams, currently the WBO's interm-champion at 154-pounds. The two sides are still talking, which is good. The financial positions by both sides are still far apart, which is not good. The date of October 3 on HBO awaits. [details]

Williams is really acting like a punk here. It looks to me like he just doesn't want the fight and is pricing himself out. It's funny that after he lost to a C-level fighter in Quintana HBO didn't want anything to do with him. But once he avenged that loss HBO is back on his **** again. But they've just totally kicked Pavlik to the curb for losing to an all time great with an A+ boxing IQ. I was hard on Pavlik for not fighting Abraham, but this deal falling apart is somemthing he has zero control over. And as much as I can't stand Arum most of the time, he is being very reasonable here.

WTF is with Williams and his team?

It's another possible title for Paul in another possible weight class.

Pavlik is the star at 160, and Paul isn't exactly known for his stellar fanbase.

He should take whatever they offer, then kick Kelly's ass, and then he'll be the guy who gets to make the demands.

Paul Williams sucks balls. Pavlik will end his underground hype.

PWill and his team is at fault. PWill can not be considered avoided or ducked if he doesnt take this fight.

And I'm not saying that what Williams did in the Quintana rematch isn't a good thing. I'm just saying of how HBO works in that regard.

Again Queen Pavlik and Arum's fault

Why am I not surprised

Yeah. like Pavlik is ducking this challenge when Williams is practically asking a 60-40 split of the money in his favor. Give me a break.

Totally sucks, which is why he beat Margarito, and Quintana, oh and Wright, but hey everybody beats Margarito and Wright though correct?

Unlike ****ty Pavlik who lost to Bernard Slopkins. Rephrase..Pavlik didn't win a round against PopShotkins.

I normally don't take up for Kelly (made excuses when Hopkins beat his ass, talked **** about the "Super Six" tourney, etc..) but for real ; I'd rather lose to a guy like Hopkins who is "All Time Great" with one of the best in ring IQ's of all time than get my ass spanked by a B level guy like Quintana while wearing a mowhawk.
