    That's the first time I actually heard a number for this fight.

    Though, I don't know what it means, but here are my examples of calculation:

    1. $4 million for Pavlik means a sum of $3.2 million after taxes.

    2. $4 million for the whole fight, meaning that Pavlik would receive about 60% which should be approx. $2.4 million - $1.8 million after taxes.

    So now that you read about the numbers, what do you think? It's a good first measuring stick for negotiations or an absolute disgrace which Pavlik's management shouldn't even think about...

    Btw, that would be the kind of money if the fight is staged in Germany...

    that ain't gonna happen, they want no part of Abraham, specially not in Germany

    he should fight my boy Duddy though, give him a year or 2 and that title will be his

    I think the fight should happen in the US.

    I don't see Pavlik going to Germany, and AA's management probably understand this.

    Well, he said his management offered €3M, so that should mean it's the sum Team Pavlik would recieve. Which is a VERY SERIOUS offer, no other fight at MW guarantees that kind of money for Kelly, not Winky, Williams, Sturm, or lol, Mora.

    But of course, with the bigger money comes the bigger danger. If Zuniga, who at 100% preparations was completely destroyed by Bute, was able to knock Pavlik down, sharing the ring with the deadliest puncher in the game is very risky.

    But as I've always said, Pavlik is your typical people's champion, no matter how many fights he loses, he'll still be this cool guy with bad intentions in the ring - and an ever growing bunch of supporters (as long as he can be seen outside of PPV). And when Abraham moves up, he can easily take back the titles. Seriously now, he should take it.

    For sure and AA thinks the same but we haven't heard any numbers from Arum so at least we know now, what this fight is worth when being staged in Germany.
    When hearing Arum, saying how much of a star Pavlik is in the US, I would expect him to make an offer worth near $6 million for the whole fight...

    Sorry, didn't read it thoroughly .

    I think this is a good offer to Pavlik.

    If Pavlik is serious about fighting Arthur then he should go to Germany as he said he would have gone to Wales to fight Calzaghe.

    Of course, they should have a neutral ref and judges but they should make the fight wherever it is more lucrative. If that is Germany then so be it.

    They wont let Pavlik walk down the same street as AA, let alone get in a ring together!
