Is the reason why this fight didn't happen because Kessler and his team didn't want the fight?

Think he wasnt happy with the money and the venue.
I dont really mind as long as they fight next. Kessler will have won the WBO belt so it'll be a unification.

Originally posted by KrisSilver View PostI seem to recall Bute's offer being so far out it was deemed not worth even taking him too seriously.
Kessler negociated with Stieglitz for months. But he couldn't make at least one offer to Bute. Even if Bute's offer was really low, what did Kessler have to lose making an offer himself?

I think he didn't like the idea of not being able to maximizing Danish TV potential due to timezone conflicts. When he fought that tomato can from France, he drew a ****load of viewers, imagine what a fight with Bute could earn Kessler in TV revenue given the right circumstance.
