    4 million to go to Germany? I would not call that a serious offer.

    i agree that aa isnt that big over here outside of forums like these...but how is he supposed to get big over here?? there isnt anyone left at mw. coming over here and fighting bull**** opponents on ppv won't make him that much bigger. it will help but it wont blow his status through the roof over here. he came over here and laid out miranda very handily. i would think that would have helped but its almost as if that didnt happen. so im not sure how much bigger aa will become.

    Now look at you Bone...:lol:.

    You KNOW that was a Flash KD that Kelly was up before the ref could say 1, AND that was in 2005. Come on with that ol' bull.

    But yeah, it'd be the shiz if Arum would just come the **** on and make the fight.

    comon man how can you say the Miranda KO didn't help and that its almost like it didn't happen. Just compare what was being said before and after its like day and night.

    A few more victories like that and he will be a very big name.

    4 million is too low for a fight between two of the best middleweight...10M to go to germany seems fair...pavlik is risking his career (potential big fight with cotto and kirkland) when he fights AA. and going to germany means that would be his last big payday

    If Arum thinks the same it would be a shame...this sounds like as if America tries to protect it's national treasure... :lol:

    I could RJJ not go go over there fighting DM but this was really b/c of monetary reasons - RJJ earned the **** back than but Pavlik is not making nowhere near that money...

    i watched miranda 2 and i was impressed....im saying who else is he gonna fight over here that will get your attention if you don't know who he is to begin with...all i'm saying is that i'm worried that it will take a while (maybe even over a year) for aa to "make his name over here"

    hell everyone on this forum is buying aa v. pav already....but who is he gonna fight that is gonna make fans who arent as rabid as us (1) buy the fight to begin with and then (2) stand up and say damn!!! there isnt anyone with miranda's draw left at mw

    I just had to bring this up, as someone here stated Zuniga would beat anyone Abraham has ever faced, and based his opinion why Abraham doesn't stand a chance because he never proved his quality vs. Zuniga. 'If Fulgencio is that good, how good is Bute compared to Kelly' would be an appropriate question to that member, who believes in who beat who.

    But back to KP-AA. If it is true, Sauerland offered a sum much greater than Kelly would get vs. any other MW out there. So he was offered MORE than his usual purse to take the fight, and will probably refuse, while Abraham is ready to take LESS than usual, and still not going to get an acceptable offer.

    Go and tell Arum to pay those numbers in the states - he might very well call you brain damaged...

    quickly glancing at the fightnews rankings, from JMW to SMW there are alot of Miranda and above level fighters he could fight.

    Don´t you know? Bute was able to beat Zuniga in four rounds because Kelly ruined Zuniga, just as he did with Miranda! That´s how it works in Pavlik Fan-Land...
