So will there be no fight at all? I mean **** Pavlik he was always trash but maybe they can find someone to replace him just so there can be a fight.

Sounds like Pavlik did the right thing.
And Kessler rejected 3.5m because he makes alot more fighting infront of his home crowd, dude can bring atleast 20-30k in his home country.
Kelly can bring 2000 Youngstown fans only. He hasnt done anything in 3 years. Dude should be happy to accept 1.2m, who does he think he is?
Lol @ Lowball offer, either you fight or you dont, Bute is the only draw in a Bute-Pavlik fight, yet you want them to make the same?
Bute can do 20-30k in Montreal OR Romania.
and just because a gate grosses 5m doesnt mean fighters split it 50/50.
Theres rent,promoters,staff,expenses,etc,etc ,etc.
1.2m for Pavlik is OVERPAYING. He doesnt bring anything to the table, no belt, very few fans will come to see him and his stock isnt what it used to be.
He is a total idiot for rejecting this, not only will he not get paid for this fight (prolly like 100k) but he missing a 1.2m payday.
So lets do some math 100k + 1.2m = 1.3m in your bank account
Sitting home this friday = 0m + not fighting Bute = 0m hmmmm
let me do this straight 0 + 0 = 0
So 0 > 1.3m?

I wonder why Pavlik cancels both the Cunningham and the Bute fight. Why not go ahead and fight Cunningham and continue negotiations?
I wonder if there is something else behind this move.

He looked like **** in his comeback.

Pavlik doesnt draw 1/10th of the fans Kessler can, yet he's angry he's being offered of 1/3rd of what Kessler was? What?
Dude is seriously ******ed.Last edited by paulf; 08-02-2011, 12:23 PM.
