    If the fight was built the right way, i feel he could earn close to that figure.
    Sauerland & Germany is where some good money lies tho.:deal

    Absolute madness if he doesn't take that offer. We've all been beaten up for less :)

    Lets Run Through Geale's Options

    1. A fight with Arthur Abraham for a reported 125k in Germany on March 14th. IBO/IBF unification fight.

    2. A fight with Sam Soliman in Tasmania in March. Homecoming fight & defense on IBO Title.

    3. A fight with James Obede Toney on this proposed March card in Sydney (would not be for IBO Title), which would also include Zappa-St Clair & Dib-Browne.
    That fight better not take place at The Cube which is way too small IMO.
    Should be at a bugger venue...homebush maybe...

    Definately no.2. Fighting soliman or perhaps an over the hill hamden will show us where he is at as a fighter. Throwing him in with abraham is just sacrificing a lamb for the coin$$.

    And at the end of the day, they're fighting for money. He should fight Abraham first, cos the Sam Soliman and Obede fights will always be there. Plus he could lose to either and miss out on the coin and title shot.

    $125k is probably a little light on given it could ruin him mentally and physically. I'd take a good payday with Soliman in Tassie. He should clear $40k from that surely?

    Maybe, maybe not. I know if the Abraham fight is available, which one they'll go for. If he loses to Sam (definitely a chance of that happening) his pay days dry up for a while. He gets to fight Sam win, lose or draw after.
