    Team Sauerland, manager/promotor of IBF middleweight titleholder Arthur Abraham, has sent Kelly Pavlik's management an offer for 3 million dollars to fight Arthur Abraham.

    Last fall Sauerland offered WBA titleholder Felix Sturm 2.5 million euros for a unification fight against Abraham. For reasons unspecified Sturm turned that offer down and has lost considerable face in Germany.

    Will Pavlik take the bait?

    Let's see -- first it was $3 million to fight anywhere, then it was a fight with Forrest, then it was $4 million to fight in Germany, now it's back to $3 million. Source please . . . . until than it's just Sauerland shooting off at the mouth.

    This is the same bull****. It's not new information. If it was, you would have posted your source. Abraham sounds exactly like Calzaghe, Williams, and Wright did before they ran like little girls

    I am not exactly sure if the offer is a fight in Germany or not.

    Hey, I hate to bust your bubble, but are aware of the fact, that no-f-ing-body outside the US knows who Kelly Pavlik is? And I mean in all seriousness, outside the US KP is a complete nobody. There is no point in pretending to call him out.
    KP is no boxing A-lister, he is no Pac, Floyd, Wlad, Hatton or Calzaghe. Sh!t, he probably isn't even a B-lister. As far as I have heard, time is rough for him, too or is anybody buying his ppv-cards but you? He can't even get on regular HBO despite fighting a reasonbly well-known fighter in Mora, while aa is fighting on Showtime next, making some new fans in the US.

    Calzaghe/Pavlik may very well be the most clearly documented case of one fighter ducking another in history. My take on it is that Slappy Joe ran like a little *****. End of story.

    This reminds me of DM offering Jones $5mil back in '97.

    Just like that one, this is a very solid offer, but somehow you just get the feeling that the other side will not take it. :think
