Because the fraud banks $2m for a fight of this magnitude per contracted fight on showtime (I'm guessing Kessler and Johnson would count). And because this fraud is no easy task, let alone in his own back yard. This is a business, and sorry compadre, you can't just risk everything for peanuts, and being low-balled is disrespectful, why would they even play with it when they can get the money elsewhere?
He's mandatory, so if Stieglitz does not fight him he'll be stripped. Chances are Kessler will enforce his WBC emeritus status and fight the S6 winner, however. :smoke
That's the point, apart Kessler, they can't get the same money. Johnson will probably never get big fight again, Pavlik will get no fight at all, and for Kessler its another story, maybe more money for a much easier night of work.
And where exactly is that "elsewhere" ? Will Kessler-Stieglitz be on showtime ? If not, I don't think this fight would earn more than Bute-Kessler.
Lucys nuthuggers still making excuses about all the duckjobs that fraudelent disgrace has pulled over the years is ridiculous..:tired Lucy doesn´t want to fight outside Montreal and with his bodyguard as referee whos there to protect Lucy thats why its not so easy to knock the fraud into a coma. Its not that a fight with Lucy in Montreal takes place under common boxing terms. and Kessler is going to make more money, win belt and fight a more significant opponent in Stieglitz in his next fight and Pavlik is an alcoholic and about to retire..
Kessler going to make more money ? Doubtful.. Win belt ? Ok but WBO instead of IBF More significant opponent ? Yeah right...
WOW, just this is enough to destroy the thin credibility you have. More significant....the guy have been KTFO by Berrio and Andrade.........and defend his belt vs little guy like Gevor.....:rofl:rofl More cash and a belt for Kessler, probably but more significant....LMFAO
Kessler makes 750k that Lucy "offered" him for autograph session in denmark you fool IBF 168lbs belt ain´t worth ****. the boxer makes the belt not the other way around. Lucy=fraud=belt=meaningless Beating undefeated Balzsay and taking his belt in Hungary >>> anything Lucy has done
