As a huge Pavlik fan Im dissapointed...I guarantee hes back on the sauce again and thats the real reason for not fight.
Like i said, the only thing I can see is that the BUte fight was a done deal conditional to a win against Cunningham. He changed is mind (hearing about Kessler offer) and decided "not to win" on saturday.
15 million gate? What are you smoking, that's Oscar territory. Great to see that people are already laying some blame on Bute. Lets remember that all this recent info also says that Kessler turned down more then 3 million. But it's all Bute's fault...
If thats indeed true and Pavlik would of gotten 40% of the total revenue. All I can say is: :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Pavlik should just retire if that's the case.
http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/168349-arum-calls-pavliks-behavior-bizarre "Whether or not the relationship continues is not the issue,” Arum told RingTV.com. “I'm very, very concerned about this young man. I consider the actions that he has taken at this point to be very, very bizarre. "I am very disappointed,” Arum said. “(Top Rank President) Todd (duBoef) negotiated this deal at least a couple of weeks ago. So it's not like Kelly didn't know far in advance what he was getting in the entire deal. “Now, all of a sudden, he's calling it chump change.”
This sums it up for me, too. He's ****ing up so badly that it defies logical thought, and no one seems to be supporting this decision. Hope he's able to get well.
Kessler is a more proven name and a bigger threat at SMW than Pavlik... Pavlik is rebounding while Kessler came back after retiring as CHAMP!! Kessler's SMW stock > Pavlik's
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl STUPID ASS ISN'T EVEN WORTH WHAT HE IS BEING OFFERED, DID HE NOT WATCH HIS LAST PERFORMANCE, AND I THOUGHT JAMES TONEY WAS DELUSIONAL....
Yea if you look at it, its the safe move. Pavlik hasn't looked so hot in the last couple years and fighting Bute at this stage is a guranteed loss, possibly by TKO. 1.1 mil would merely be a retirement pack if he took it. Although afer ****ing Showtime and Top Rank Pavlik now needs to sign w/ Golden Boy to remarry w/ HBO, and take his training and sobriety seriously.
