    Yup and it shows Pavlik pick Williams cause Pavlik knows fighting Williams will bring more money. Without Williams, Pavlik would be fighting one of those 4 fighters like 1 million in which the example of hbo only offer Pavlik vs Sturm 2 million dollars. So now Pavlik decide he wants to fight Williams instead of all 4 of those opponents is a big risk cause now if Pavlik vs Williams crumbles Pavlik got no date on hbo until maybe next year while Williams already got other options like the Dzin fight on hbo. It looks like booradley Hbo cares more about Williams then they do with Pavlik. So again it shows goosen deserve to be apart of co promotion for this fight.

    So an article published on the most up tp date boxing site is inaccurate and the Pavlik fans on ESB's boxing forum have the correct info :lol: ok, alright.

    What he's saying is that HBO have approved four possible chumps to fight Pavlik ON HBO. So it's not true that Williams is Pavlik's only route onto HBO.

    So what is the highest HBO will pay for a Pav fight? 2 mil for a unification against another middleweight champ. but what will HBO pay for The Punisher??? 3.75 you see the difference. P-dud's Market value is higher then pav's at this point.

    Now you're moving the goalposts. OBVIOUSLY Pavlik vs. Williams generates more Gs than Pavlik vs. [insert bum here]. But Pavlik can fight on HBO WITH OR WITHOUT Williams, so the OP was false.

    Rick Reenyo clearly was not following the story closely, and just half assed his article.

    Umm well. he thought he had oct.3 but then P-dub got it. so his trainer already said they don't want to be on sept. 26th. so i don't know if he has that date already. Another thing i heard you guys state Pav has a 3-fight HBO contract. Any link on that...i would like to read up on it.

    Yes they do; they approved a list of four thereof for Fall fights on HBO.

    Obviously, but Pavlik gets on HBO without fighting P-dub

    Pavlik could just make another easy defense and just wait to fight the winner of Bute-Andrade.

    If it's Bute. There will be more money in that fight then the Williams fight.
