    2 million? Wow what the hell is he waiting for?
    This is just Hearns side of the story remember. Kessler will make the right decision for him and wont be rushed into things. We cant doubt his warrior spirit becuase once he gets in the ring he puts everything on the line and out the ring he is an inteligent guy who is probably weary that his two defeats have come away from home.

    The rubber match in Neutral territory sounds good. I could watch a 3rd and we havent even seen the 2nd yet

      Pretty good offer. 2½ times of what Ward got for Dawson.

          Not anymore. The dollar is stronger than a few years back.

            1 British pound = 1.6086 U.S. dollars

            =

            2M GBP = 3.2172M USD.

              All right all right I was definitely wrong: $ 3212738,81

              The pound also weakened quite a bit, compared to where I thought it was. my bad.

                Kessler should be jumping at this opportunity, a rubber match only means more money too! I believe the deal is agreed in principle, just some minor details to iron out. They need to hurry up and announce it though so I can look into tickets.

                  In the event of a Froch win, he would have to face Stevenson, Bute and Kessler before he can get to Ward.

                  Not a realistic path.

                    Why offer him a fight on neutral ground if he loses? Offer him the fight on neutral ground now and he would probably say yes.This fight will probably be another close one and fighting Froch in his hometown makes a loss for Kessler likely.
