Arthur Abraham to fight on German SuperSports-Saturday, May 30...

Just to bump the thread and engage in idle speculation. Any idea what a Pavlik/Abraham fight would do in Germany? From the money they offered Sturm, I would have to think that would have been a huge fight?

 

Great picture.

 

Not as much as you think.

Kelly Pavlik is virtually unknown in Germany; Sturm-Abraham would be MUCH bigger than Pavlik-Abraham. Pavlik-Abraham could draw 10,000 spectators whereas Sturm-Abraham could get 20,000. Also keep in mind that tickets are quite cheap in Germany.

As to viewing figures: About 5 million people usually watch Abraham's fights.
Pavlik-Abraham? Maybe: 7 million
Sturm-Abraham? Maybe: 8-9 million

Thus I don't think Pavlik would get €2.5 million (the money Sauerland offered Sturm).

 

So what your saying is they have a fight set to replace a fight that isnt made??? But AA wants to fight Pavlik??? Yeah right, My guess is he will be fighting on this date vs some bum, and say that he did every thing in his power to make a fight with Pavlik, while I was busy trying to make this fight...What a ****ing joke:huh

 

20,000 ? it dont look that big in the pic. but yeah this will happen in may cause arum dont want to make the fight its kind of obvious at this stage he'd rather put pavlik in with overmatched guys like duddy, rubio, lockett, and any other c level fighter he can find

 

arum cashing in on the cash cow by fighting c level fighter but my real question is how did you get a pic of my girl for youre avatar

 

Ya -- I guess Kelly is stuck with those "C" level guys like Zuniga, Miranda, Taylor and Hopkins. He'll just never make it to the next level.

 

Interesting. One fight in March, one in May? That's a busy schedule.

If negotiations will be a total failure for KP-AA, Sauerland should try to get a double-header for a last try, and if they'll still show no interest, King Arthur should move up. There are better fighters at 168, than MW could offer to Abraham, with Sturm and Pavlik... protecting their interests...

 

Its funny how so many of the European fans say dumb **** like that while defending guys like Kessler, Froch, and AA who really do fight cab drivers and bartenders most of the time.

 

AA has to prove nothing and to make him more known in the US is not necessary.

It would be nice to see Pavlik at the Waldbühne. Sturm vs. AA would be huge in Germany, but so would Pav vs. AA. Pav is not as known as Sturm, but Pav is the reigning middleweight champion and that is all Germans have to know.

 

I know what you mean bro. If Pav really does fight Duddy in his next outing, the AA fans will go berzerk, and I will simply point out that Duddy would be a top 3 win for AA.

 

jesus christ :twisted:

i wast dissin kelly i was dissin arum i said its obvious at this stage he doesnt want to make the fight you dont hav to be a genious to realize it :nut

and can you honestly say duddy rubio and lockett are not c level fighters ?

 

your girl ? i seriously doubt it but hey if so then fair play bro :good

 

Duddy C+
Rubio C+
Lockett D; ya got give KP that one. They were trying to get Joe to back up 6 months of talking ****.

And it is rather irritating that people mention Duddy, a guy KP hasn't even fought yet, Lockett and Rubio, and act as if Pavlik took some gravy train to the top. In 3 years time he fought Zuniga, McKart, Zertuche, Miranda, Taylor X 2, and Hopkins, and did everything he could to get Calzaghe in the ring. Acting like he only fights "C" level guys is assinine.
