Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Withdraws From Darryl Cunningham Clash

[fitefanSHO]

Honestly, I think Kelly needs to focus on his RECOVERY, not boxing. He is still young enough and has made enough money that he can focus totally on getting well and then when he is well, focus on boxing. I think his comeback was actually too quick, and not enough time was spent creating and getting accustomed to a new sober lifestyle for himself and for his health. Good luck Kelly, I think you will find that recovery will be your hardest fight, and your greatest accomplishment.

You don't want to end up like Michael Carbajal, a pitiful sight.

[deuce_drop]

pavlik should retire from boxing like calzaghe since the fight was beaten out of him by hopkins......

maybe pavlik should get into **** movies, with all this pulling out he's doing..... it's the only time he's going to make any movie pulling out!!!!

either wasted abilities or just another BHOP casualty.......... either way he's done......

All is well and good except that Zags whooped up on BHOP and made him look like an old man.....that is not what happened in the Hopkins-Pavlik fight

[1000Islander]

Pavlik didn't look to have a lot of passion against Lopez.

I have to wonder, with everything going on around him if he is having trouble finding the will and passion to battle.

As the fight got closer he may have been looking for a way out.

I must have missed that part of the fight. Was that before or after he was crawling around on the floor and crying like a bi*ch?

Hopkins HAS proved himself a legend but he let himself down badly in that fight.

[Medved]

To be fair, 1.3-1.4 mil for Bute is a **** deal compared to what Berto and P. Williams (Al Haymon's bums) getting 2 mil to fight cab drivers and bouncers on HBO.

What are you talking about? Very few fighters make above $1m, VERY FEW. Amir Khan hardly making $1m and he is hot right now.

Berto and the rest of the bums wont be making more than $1m as they were when they were in their "prime" and were hot.

You seem to forget Pavlik hasnt had a legit win since 2008? He has no belt?

When Berto and the rest of the AA bums were making 1m they were hyped and undefeated.


He was getting a 60/40 split with Bute, You know Bute who is hot right now and can draw 20-30k people in either Romania OR Montreal?

Pavlik is a complete ******, not only does he lose $50k that he wouldve made fighting this dude this weekend but he is losing out on 1.35m from fighting Bute.

He is also going to get blacklisted by HBO or Showtime because they wont risk signing him to a future fight because of what he pulled today.

Even if you lose the Bute fight you lost to a great fighter and made atleast 1.35m.

Let me do some math: $50,000 + $1,350,000 = $1,400,000

$0 + $0 = $0

Hmm, good business decision Pavlik, you will be forced to fight on FNF for 60k for the rest of your career. Cong**** for being the DUMBEST BOXER OF 2011

[Drunken Cat]

So its now come out that it was a business decision and had nothing to do with alcohol. this is the **** im talking about. you run your mouth like a jerk-off tough guy but the reality is you dont know ****. its clowns like you are the reason boxingscene forums get a bad name. i bet in person your a b1tch

Yes, very professional on his part to pull out on the week of the fight, on the grounds of such a "business decision" too. The only excuse would've been injury. He agreed to the fight and signed the dotted line. Showtime built a card around it, which is now cancelled. I think Pavlik needs some better business consoltation in the future.
