Back from Pavlik's open workout...

Is his little finger okay?

 

Why on earth would Pavlik agree to 50/50 with Williams.

1, Pavlik is the champ / Williams is the challenger.

2, Williams/Martinez sold less than 3000 tickets / Pavlik can sell out Boardwalk Hall fighting my mother.

3, Historically Pavlik makes more fighting scrubs than PW makes fighting top guys. He made more for Gary freaking Lockett than Williams has ever made in any fight.

Boxing is a business and fights need to make sense financially. I have no problem with Goosen wanting some up front money to make a deal with Pavlik. Considering the history, it's an appropriate request. Asking for 50/50 means they do not want to risk putting Paul in the ring with Kelly. After watching William/Martinez twice, I wouldn't put him in with Kelly either.

 

I agree with everything you said, except I don't think theyre afraid to put him in the ring with KP. They probably think they have more bargaining power than they actually do. I'll be disappointed if this fight doesnt get made....i was really looking forward to it.

 

Good to hear! :thumbsup
Hope he steps up and fights Bute or Williams next.

 

Floyd's sportin some nice pink gloves in that avatar, do they do a
better job of protecting his pinky fingers?

 

No pics?

 

there are some vids/links in the thread somewhere...ross and boo posted them

 

Thanks. I didn't bother read all the posts and that's why I missed it.

 

Just out of curiosity why do you like Pavlik so much?
Got nothing against him. I just don't see it.

 

Billy Lyell
Kenny Sigurani

Kenny held some minor titles. He was 22-3 as a pro. Most notable fights were against Julio Cesaer Chavez Sr. and Camacho. He lost to both.

 

I've been meaning to give you some **** about not recognizing Billy Lyell:hey

Just never got around to it:bbb
