Sauerland says they made a "six-figure" offer for Jennings to fight Pulev on Aug 24

I think Wlad should just fight Pulev after he's done with Povetkin. Pulev has really been treated badly by whichever organising body is making him arrange new title eliminators after the last one falls through.

2012 was meaningless and this year is also underwhelming so far because of the Povetkin delay he'll only fight twice in 2013. He should fight Pulev right after Povetkin in Jan/Feb 2014.

Pulev's been screwed over especially hard by the IBF when you consider that the previous eliminator in 2012 Chambers pulled out and they just handed Thompson the mandatory spot with no replacement fight while Pulev has had Adamek, Fury, Chagaev, Jennings all refuse and it's still ongoing.

Jennings is making 60-75 k per fight right now. The Pulev offer was for 100k in Europe. Jennings is building his brand in the US and is on NBC. 2-3 more wins vs experienced C+/B level HW will get Jennings a major fight with : Fury vs Haye winner on HBO or NBC Regular,a Wilder fight on Showtime, or a KO Bro fight on HBO for WAY more than 100k range !!! Main Events knows what they are doing.

Pulev needs a fight but he brings no tv money or fans to a big fight. He is an excellent HW but needs some more tv exposure.Pulev needs to get on US tv.

I googled it and saw articles that said it was J Russell Peltz who promotes him.

Would make sense Peltz is based in Philly

Russell Peltz used some fight from thirteen years ago involving a different promoter as an excuse for Bryant Jennings to avoid Kubrat Pulev:

@SauerlandBros management is aware of the six figure payday & we are aware of what happens fighting in Germany, ask Charles Brewer.

1) Fury and Haye are both carefully managed and making alot of money fighting eachother. The winner isn't going to then fight another contender who is ranked considerably lower than the guy they just beat. Ridiculous.

2) Wilder is unranked and would do nothing to advance Jennings career.

3) When was the last time Showtime had a HW fight?

4) If Jennings ever wants a meaningful fight that could have title implications he'll have to travel. Aside from Klitschko vs Haye no HW title holder has fought on US TV since 2008. Pulev is the #1 rated IBF boxer and has absolutely no need for America. Jennings, his team and people like you need to accept that the HW division doesn't revolve around America it's based out of Europe.

I have no problems with the new genertaion of US HW going to Europe or anywhere but Pulev has no fan base or tv money.It's called prize fighting. BTW,he is an excellent HW but generates nothing...I'm sure Haye vs Fury will be HUGE and both should make around 2-3 million each !!! They will make the big money because of UK tv money..let's not kid ourselves.

Jennings has a tv deal with Main Events and NBC. He has some HUGE fights ahead if he keeps winning and will easily get SEVEN figures plus for those fight as opposed to the 100k that he was offered to fight Pulev in Germany. Pulev is not even a draw in awesome-boxing-crazy-Germany.

Ich liebe Deutschland und boxen.

Mitchell is on HBO and Wilder is on Showtime....which are are all getting back into the HW fray as there are good US HW to showcase.There are more US HW up-coming too.

The money will be in :
Czar Glazkov,Wilder,Fury,Haye,Jennings,Mitchell,Adamek in US, Scott, and Helenius until he gets KTFO'd, and maybe even a re-juvenated Price down the line.



Vitali vs Adamaek was on HBO in 2011.

Vlad vs Povetkin will be on HBO.

Arreloa vs Steverne was on HBO.

Mitchell vs Banks I AND II ..HBO.

Wilder vs Price..Showtime

Wilder vs Liahovitz is on Showtime ...coming up in August.

Fury just got 150k for NBC fight vs Cunningham.

Wilder is # 9 WBA HW....look it up !!!


I sat with Jennings at GGG vs Maclin fight last week. I should have asked him !!!
