Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Sounds Off: “I’m Tired of Being a Puppet!”

[Mojita]

well if he made 275k for his tuneup fight, wtf is he even getting 50k? ok maybe 100-150k is reasonable but how did his value go down so much? i agree even though he hasnt done much since his loss he still has name value. promoters arent fair to fighters who literally go through blood sweat and tears during training and fight night. 50k is a huge smack in the face when your trying to rebuild your fighters career and hype up a big title match next. you guys would be mad as hell too, **** isnt fair.

top rank has gone from being a good organzation to building up fighters perfectly to being money hungry and using fighters. that company is full of **** now. 50k isnt worth it if you throw in the element anything can happen and you can lose, and lose future chances too. hes right for what hes done. no body should be a puppet. **** should be fair.

Gino - You are a moron! Using the words white and drunkard together is racist!

Pac is barely 5'6 and that's with shoes lol Mayweather stands bigger than Pac.

Dude. PAC is closer to 5'7 than he is to 5'6. Point being; you can't call one a midget and not the other. Only fanboys think that way.

What Kelly doesn't seem to realize is he's not in a position to command big money in a fight anymore. After he lost to Hopkins he at least still had claim to the linear middleweight title but now he brings nothing to the table other than his name. He's a fighter who has a lot to prove at this point before he's the A side of the card again or getting an even split in a big money fight

[richardt]

So we have someone calling Pac a midget on this thread?? That "midget" would put you in a coma with a punch at half strength.

Pavlik over states his importance and worth in boxing, he isnt worth anything atm. He should just be grateful Bute was going to give him a shot

Much props to Kelly pavlik for pulling out of this fight for 50k. Whats arum doing Pavlik is right he should be getting at least 200k and Pavlik is also right why is arum throwing pavlik in with bute it's obvious pavlik has problems with boxers and southpaws. Kelly is 100% right arum should give him a couple 200k fights than Froch plus the Froch fight would be ten time better because these guys have some bad blood and both like to talk a bit. I'm 100 percent on Pavlik's side plus Bute is a nobody he does not have the track record of the guys that are in the super six plus and got ko'd against Andrade. Bute had 3 or four good wins recently but them guys are b-class super middles. Arum bow down to Pavlik and get him what he wants!!!!!!!

Putting that idiot's midget comment aside, Pac is listed at 5'6 1/2, but I've stood next to him and I'd say more like 5'5. Tyson was listed at 5'11 back in the day, he's more like 5'9. I never trust stats regarding height. All men exaggerate taller and tall women always exaggerate shorter.

Reading this, they were doing Pavlik dirty, 50Gs? Seriously?

[Gino Ros]

Fact. You're an idiot.
