Kelly has a good amount of egg on his face now.

What a douche.

Man I've lost a lot of respect for Pavlik as of late. I mean no one knows what he's actually going through but on the same hand he is NOT conducting himself in a professional manor and doesn't appear to be the same fighter/guy he was a few years back. BAD FOR BOXING KELLY

no way i see pavlik in the same leuge as kessler kessler would destroy kelly pavlik beat one decent fighter in taylor who i think always was overhyped aswel kessler is a top 168 fighter same as froch bute ward pavlik is more of a ARTHUR ABRAHAM all talk not much else HBO showtime rnt soft they know his value

Not really fair Mr. Reeno. Showtime televises on the US market so PPV for Pavlik is not an option.

So Pavlik was to receive 1.3M. How much would Bute get? Well we know that Showtime pays 2M per fight so after Pavlik has been paid that would be 700K. Then there's the gate. That would probably be 15K people paying 100 bucks on the average which totals 1.5M. Then there's televisionrights from overseas. I dont know how much that would be so lets say 500K.

I am definetely mising something, but this simple math gives Bute 2.7M.

All in all the purse would be 4M and the split would be 67.5% for Bute and and 32.5% for Pavlik. Fair or not fair split? That is the question.

I ****ING TOLD PEOPLE BEFORE. Just because a gate does 1.5m DOESNT ***ING MEAN THE FIGHTERS GET 50/50. DO YOU ****ING KNOW HOW MUCH OF THAT GOES TO EXpENSES? GTFO

rent
security
staff
insurance
etc etc etc etc etc

Same with ******s who think just because a PPV sells 400k you can multiply 400k x 39.99 and get the amount.

Live gate usually goes to PROMOTERS, thats why they give you GUARANTEED MONEY, even if 0 ppl show up they still wouldve made cash and promoters wouldve been out $$$.

60/40 is MORE than fair in a Bute/Pavlik fight, Bute brings everything to the table, his "0", his belt, 20k of his fans.

What does Pavlik bring? a 6pack of budweiser and 30 people from Youngstown?

Like I said when this got released, Kelly Pavlik is a complete idiot, this reminded me of Chappele skit "When keeping it real goes wrong"

Meet Kelly, he's 29, he has just been offered close to 1.4m dollars for doing his job, but Kelly dont want none, stay tuned, for when keeping it real goes wrong.

I have a feeling Pavlik thought it was more of a slap in the face that he was only getting 50k to fight in his hometown of Youngstown.

Pavlik is a deeply disturbed mentally disturbed person with alcoholism issues and a tattoo problem coupled with the fact that he is not popular even in his own home town. Take away the beatings of a half brain dead jermain Taylor pavlik's career isn't much he hasn't really beaten anyone good and is just an average fighter with a below average trainer one of the worst trainers in boxing history in Jack Loew. Mental stability issues are looming for this offbalanced disturbed kid. Amy Winehouse had nothing on this mess of a person. Nice family support system in the trailer park for the Pav.

pavlik gets beat by all the top super mws..stay at your local pub bro..

[bakunin]

lol, not surprised pavlik is lying... no way kessler was offered 3.5m, this is not even realistic, can't believe he his serious and he believe what he says... 3.5m, thats more than JMM made for fighting mayweather... The truth is Pavlik keeps making things up because he knows his drinking/mental problems has an impact on his boxing life... Its the 5th time in 2 years he cancel his fights because of his drinking problems...

[Gino Ros]

Good riddance, drunkard.

[Bierstadt]

Question now is, who lied to Pavlik?
