Promotion Kessler

Whatever gets him a match.

Kessler would vacate his WBA belt, get the WBO belt, defend it during 25 years against Peter Manfredos and after he will call out Taylor, Bute and Pascal.

Well because you agree, that it's true, that kessler can do better with any other promoter, because his current promoter is a jerk, it's a good idea to get a promotor who will give the fighters interests and priorities more importance, which is something joe could offer Kessler. He is maybe a little green in the promoting business, but Joe has been succesful throughout his career, is proffesional, and a solid person, so why not? Other fighters like him have entered promoting with succes, and Joe has a name so he could probably set up the path Kessler needs to take to be a respected european boxer

I see that, but I don't see why he would pick Calzaghe rather than an established promoter with the finance and connections to really get behind him. Why does Kessler need to take a risk with a fledgling promoter if he's free to choose? I'd be disapointed if this happened, I'd hope he'd have more sense than that after many years with Palle.

Well, IF Calzaghe can make a deal with UK and US television, it's good for Kessler. Other than that and that anything is better than Palle, Calzaghe has no promotional experience, the Roy Jones fight did poor at the gates and PPV, his connections are weak, and to fight the biggest names, he'd have to do deals with rival promotions like Hennessy, Universum, Golden Boy, DiBella, Interbox etc.

Kessler needs someone like De La Hoya behind him who guarantees top US TV dates, has the international connections to get UK, maybe German and obviously Danish TV deals and put asses anywhere in the world from Denmark through Germany to the UK, USA and Canada. And don't forget the political power to protect Kessler from foreign disadvantages.

Kessler has the looks and all the tools to be an international star, a very popular face, and I think Golden Boy is the caliber of promotions he deserves. Mikkel needs to get away from Palle as soon as possible, it's all wrong for him. F*ck Palle. Throw them a percentage of Kessler's next non-Palle promoted fights to shut them the f*ck up.

Frank Warren would do a far greater job than Calzaghe.

That is pretty obvious though.
