Comments Thread For: Froch: Kessler is Not My Friend, I'm Smashing Him!

[Scary]

I'm no expert either...
But I've seen Kessie's fights after his comeback -- not impressed at all...
I'm still looking for that Kessie that Ward had to headbutt and clinch all the night in order to "win"...

Tomorrow you will be impressed though. Look at last fight round 7 and tell me that Froch wasnt hurt by those bodyshots.

[MDPopescu]

I see. That must be why he gave Froch a return even though he didn't have to and that even in Froch's homecountry.

Kessie didn't just "give" Froch a rematch...
Kessie is going to get a purse of BPS 2 mln, plus PPV Sky outcome...
Let's become a little bit serious when we speak business...

(And please tell me when Sauerland will come up with a similar payday)...

C'mon, gimme a break... let's not pretend that we are all children here...

[Sociopath]

So, he's gonna smash it?

I always knew he was a fruit Danish.

Froch doesn't look gay though.

I'm not rooting for Froch... I'm not a Froch's fan... But win or loss, Froch will be there for other big fights (at home or abroad)... Which is not Kessie's case -- Sauerland will continue to keep him safe in Denmark. Kessie traveled four times (in Sydney back in 2005, in Cardiff back in 2007, in Oakland back in 2009, and now). If Kessler wins I would like to see Sauerland capable to lure Ward in Denmak... Or B-Hop at least...

Kessler got 1½M for Magee. For Froch it's 2½M. I can assure you that this is not about money.

Dude. You are missing a fight in the US and a defense in Germany. And please tell us who of his contemporaries who has fought more titlefights abroad.

I said, I quote: "Kessie traveled four times (in Sydney back in 2005, in Cardiff back in 2007, in Oakland back in 2009, and now)."

Well: Germany is "Sauerland"... And I didn't miss "a fight in the US" -- it was in Oakland, California, the U.S. of A...

(And, please, use the term "dude" for your friends and family milieu -- it's healthier...)

Dude. Kessler was not with Sauerland when travelling to Germany. He was with Sauerlands archrival Team Palle.

You forgot to answer the question. Dude.

Sauerland "pirated" Kessler before they had him under contract...

MOGENS PALLE (from Team Palle, 06.08.2009) about "the pirate promoter" Sauerland Event:

"I promoted Kessler for 10 years.

In that time, he has become a multimillionaire who is so incredibly wealthy that he abandoned Denmark to make Monaco his legal residence.

Kessler may be a Danish sports hero but he does not pay taxes in his homeland.

How rich is Kessler, who has held the WBA title twice and once also had the WBC belt?

It took me parts of four years to negotiate the deal with a tough promoter named Frank Warren but Kessler earned five million US dollars in one night and one fight against Joe Calzaghe.
(...)
I hammered out that deal with promoter Warren and I arranged for HBO, a much bigger and more popular US network than is Showtime, to televise it. American fight experts were astounded that HBO would show a title bout between a Welshman and a Dane but they did so.

But Kessler did not get to the big international stage overnight.

Where was Sauerland when I was putting Kessler on in four round bouts?

Where was Sauerland, and for that matter interloper Showtime, when I was paying Kessler’s medical bills and other expenses in the many years in which his fights were not lucrative, when they were only a financial drain carried by my company?
(...)
I then had to fight with Sauerland to make a title unification bout for Kessler against Marcus Beyer. Sauerland wanted that fight to be on theirs and Beyer’s turf, in Germany.
(...)
But, in a court of law in Denmark and in the United States, the contract that Kessler intelligent and freely signed and agreed to, will prevail."

THEY DID NOT PREVAIL...
