I think the fight has been made in theory, just waiting for the official confirmation. Kessler's people have probably told Hearn (over the phone) that they agree the terms and will do the fight. Just a case of faxing and signing contracts now. Should be announced by tomorrow morning.
how many times have we heard that a big fight is very close to being signed then for it to fall through.
they have until tomorrow to get this fight signed because purse bids happen tomorrow for the Stevenson fight.
then they've still got to wait for confirmation from the IBF & if not, then they'll have to vacate it!
Interesting that this has to be announced on the same day wazza announces his big bill. Am i becoming over cynical or just coincidence?
Well the purse bids open for Stevenson tomorrow so Hearn has no control over that. Unless FW for some reason I can't comprehend engineered it.
I have a feeling it wont be done, and it was a public statement to show that they tried their best to make the fight but Sauerland couldnt agree..............hope Im wrong tho
Seems like pressure tactics to me I said in another thread the other day that Froch needs this fight so much more than Kessler who will probably sell out any Stadium in Denmark for his next fight. If this fight don't happen for Kessler his probably got an Abraham fight to fall back on which would possibly be more rewarding financially I'd imagine
I need to know date of this as well, will decide if I can make te Rule Brittania show depending on when this is. Hopefully can do both as they will both be excellent cards
froch over on the scene saying kessler aint a warrior if the deal falls through this is all last min public pressure tactics even eddie tweeted sauerland this morning 'D-DAY' again public pressure if it works all hail new age promoting
