WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm has been offered a lot of money to join Arena Box. Sturm is currently in a contract dispute with Universum and believes his contract expires before the end of the year. Ahmet Öner, CEO of Arena Box, has offered Sturm a package deal of $25 million to jump over. The deal is for six fights with a signing bonus of $3.5 million. [details]

That sure is a lot of money.
6 fights for more than 4 million USD a piece!
Who said boxing was dead? -
he will bite their hand off.
Can't seem him facing Pavilk or Williams, think he might end up going for Sebastian SylvesterComment

Good for him hope he takes it and I get to see him against better comp or in a rematch with Gevor.Comment

Even Öner will not make a fight atgainst Pavlik, to risky, if he gives so much money for Sturm i dont think he will make riskfull fights. Maybe the last of the 6 fights who are in the contract will be against a Pavlik/Williams but until then, he will make easy fights. Öner just want to sign a champion whos well known in germany, but i wonder where the money comes from.Comment

He would make just as much posing for Kelvin Klein.Comment

Pretty good payday...Comment

I would take the big money, but it's a joke to say Sturm will be bigger without Abraham or somebody competitive. Sturm is already huge in Germany, and Germans are willing to pay to watch him beat up B- and C-level opposition. They'll just continue milking him for a while. Despite all his talk, no way he'll take a chance on fighting an Abraham, Sturm, Williams, or the likeComment
