Pavlik Threatening to pull out of Saturdays fight due to dispute with Top Rank

[Gino Ros]

this guy does not care about his fans, this is in Ohio and he will pull out leaving all those people who brought tickets on the side lines, he could still go thorough with this fight and negotiate the bute fight afterwards, providing he wins.......

See, THIS is the type of stuff that is bad for boxing. How can you even talk about screwing over the regional fan last minute?

Is he JUST finding out what he is making?

[Doctor_Tenma]

I don't even care to see Pavlik anymore, the way he fought in his last fight

[uoykcuf]

This ****er is complaining about money when he hasn't done **** lately in boxing, and guys in the lower weight classes don't even come close to making what Top Rank is offering an inactive Pavlik. Those little guys have more passion for boxing when they're beating each other up for not alot of money.

IF he backs out, I don't think it's really this dispute or $$$...but the underlying issue that everyone knows about...

I hope he's sobered up, I hope he's training hard...but I think he's lost a lot of confidence in himself. He needs to fight and get things going again. I'm a big fan and I think he's letting it slip away.

More incredible is that he's still getting million+ paydays... He has been downgraded to a FNF fighter.

Pavlik should take the money and shut up. He needs to beat Bute 1st, THEN worry about making more than 1.2 Mill a fight (which is more than some active fighters are getting currently).

He could have bought more statues with that type of doe. Isn't Kessler the one with life-size statues at his house of like Aliens or Predators from the movies/comics?
