Did Kessler just get shafted by Sauerland?

I heard that Kessler fired his manager, is this right?

No. But you did hear correctly. Strong rumours in the danish press told the story, but there was nothing to it accoring to his manager and longterm friend Simon Lundt. That being said several reports from the pressconference told that Kessler and Lundt didn't speak at all.

I think He negotiated to fight the winner, but I'm not sure. If that's the case, then I think that was business savy. Why wait to loose the belt, when you can use it to negotiate now. Smart if that's the case.

Yeah but that's my point. It's only a VERBAL agreement. Surely the supersix winner has plenty of options particularly if the winner is american. I highly doubt that Mikkel Kessler will be high on an american winner's to-do list.

In other words Sauerland has given a promise without knowing if he can fullfill it.
