    IDK, I thought the 2mil guaranteed by Shotime and the 25% of the gate and all Danish tv money were supposed to be close to 3.5+mil.

    Not exactly lowball IMO.:deal

    Last time Kessler was here on the radio, he said that was completely untrue...

    This **** again?!??? :patsch :yep :twisted:

    .....huhhh broken record, but here it is; Interbox put 750K of their own budget into Kessler's purse, Showtime was going to give an unknown portion of the allocated 2M per Bute fight to Kessler, and Kessler was getting -obviously- all the Danish tv money. If Pavlik was guaranteed 1.35M, I don't see why Kessler would not have been offered 1.5-2.0M regardless of that hypothetical 3.5M figure. 1.5-2M is NOT one god damn Danish krone, there was no counteroffer whatsoever, which is why it is CLEAR that Sauerland dismissed the Bute path altogether - the WBO Euro paper title that came with the Bouadla win is just another piece of evidence Kessler was gunning for Stieglitz's WBO belt.

    There Bat, put that in your crack pipe and smoke it. :smoke

    It is indeed a dead horse, but it wouldn't be reasonable to let chitownfag spew his nonsense unopposed.

    As for my crackpipe well I sure like to have some of that stuff you Bute-fans are smoking.

    Oh, you had it directly from bastion of integrity Gevor himself then? Must be true then. Word is bond.

    Of course I haven't seen it, it was some obscure off-the-radar six-rounder which is where that scumbag belongs if he's going to keep sullying the sport with his presence at all. What I read about it differs from your telling considerably, though.

    That bit about his daughter being kidnapped needs some verification if you've got a source, otherwise it's just melodramatic say-so.

    @IntentionalButt: I totally agree with you, it's not an excuse to go nuts in the ring and behave badly. But it's an explanation why Gevor did what he did.

    BatTheMan and BeastsideBoxing without it becoming an arguement can you both tell me what you believe Kessler was offered/refused and what the deals alledgedly were for a Bute match up
