Abraham says "My management has offered Pavlik's $4 million!"

the only solution is that they fight in Canada.

 

he can if cotto finally moves up to 160 in 2-3 years time...williams would also be a good money fight for him

 

The Brawl at the Falls. Love that one cause its only a couple hours away.

 

Or in West Berlin, the former US controlled part of the city.

 

i hear pavlik is fighting sergio martinez, whho lost his last fight as junior middleweight to vernon forrest. that makes sense. lose a fight at junior middle, next get a crack at the middleweight title....

 

Sounds good until you hear the 'in Germany'. They know they can offer him that cuz it ain't gonna happen with Saurland being the "commission" that over sees the fight. BOGUS offer and they know it.

 

Ask Felix Sturm the question of corruption after his ODH fight

 

Bob Arum has enough connections and political power to have the final word on the international judges and the referee, or even making a list of officials he prefers and let Sauerland choose from that. The only outstanding biased officiating of the past few years was the scoring of several Valuev fights - and all that bull**** started when US promoter Don King got involved with the giant. With recent US scorings, like John and Martinez, some could even say that you have a better chance getting the correct decision in Germany, than in the US. Pavlik got a serious offer, I bet he would make less if Arum was the one to stage KP-AA.

 

I didn't say Germany. Yes or no. Saurland is a promoter AND the commission that oversees the fairness of the fight? There would have to be LOTS of negotiations on this one, including making sure it wasn't under the Saurland commission. I have long said, give the fighters lists of refs and judges and see if they can agree on the picks. Which of these two wouldn't like Steve, wake me when it is over, Smoger? Ref's would be tougher, but who's gonna need them?

 

I see I didn't read far enough before answering Tom. Yeah. Same page here. My only objection is that Saurland is also the commission. That just is not right. Period. Like him or hate him, I have never felt P2K was a liar, and he has documented, with some backup, some of the 'strange stuff'. Not just during the fight either. So, my bottom line would have to be, no Saurland commission involvment.

 

It's not a serious offer. Not when they know full well that KP has stated MANY times he will not fight in Germany. After what happened to Miranda, you certainly can't blame him.

Sauerland knows exactly what he needs to do to make the fight. Until Sauerland Events and Team Abraham take the appropriate actions, the rest is just bull****.

And fans who keep saying Pavlik is scared are just showing how little they know about boxing, and the men who make their living at it. Pavlik fought Hopkins, and fought Taylor twice, but he's scared of Abrahamatsch That makes about as much sense as pissin' in your boots to keep your feet warm.
