Is the a 50-50 Pavlik-Williams split fair??

[- v e t -]

maybe if this is first time... but they signed to fight twice and whether its intentional or not, pavlik had to withdraw each time... so i wouldnt sign for less than half if i were williams, tbh

Thats exactly how his team feels.

yeah, they said after the Martinez fight that they wouldnt sign for less than 50/50 and something about money down or guarantees or something, i dont recall

ou have to take into account the money and time that Paul lost geting prepared for Pavlik TWICE, when Kelly pulled out both times.

That's the risk of the trade. Anyway that would have cost him less than 100K anyway.

Pavlik is the champ and he sets the terms and they will never and should never be 50/50.

Then there wont be a fight.

I think 50-50 is beyond fair. Paul has had to go through two training camps that Kelly backed out of which costed Paul money and almost costed him a loss.

Williams has all the momentum as Kellys star is beginning to dim. Hes also been on the bum tour lately. Rubio, Lockett, Espino??

I think 50-50 is str8. Get this **** signed.

If you held multiple titles as the champ Id assume you would want the larger share vs a challenger for your title, no?

The only conclusion one can draw is Williams is ducking Pavlik. He doesnt want the fight.

So be it. Personally I want Pavlik - Sturm anyway. Let Williams fight Dzinziruk instead. That fight is more natural.

Yeah he ducked him. Yet he was ready to fight him twice...lol. Pavlik pulled out NOT Paul.

If you lost time and money dealing with a guy who pulled out twice in the middle of training camp youd want money upfront and a better split too no?

As a Punisher fan 50/50 is fair,but on a serious note,Pavlik is champ!!The Punisher should have no problem taking 45% or 40%,to rid the world of Pavlik for all times sake!!

He is the champion. But Williams should win that fight. He barely won his last one with Sergio.

April 10 Paul has a fight with HBO.
