Yes, Bute is THE MAN with the right to be there. He wasn't invited. I'd still like to know what Abraham said, or did not say, about Pavlik being left out.
Fight Mundine while waiting for a better fight....its a huge payday in AUST....and a good warmup as Mundine wont sit in the zone like Espino and will make Pavlik work for the win. Its worth $3,000,000 plus to Pavlik but Arum wont have anything to do with Mundine because of the 911 crap...for the record I hate war and 911 was very ****in bad...but this is boxing...why wont they fight?
In a pre fight interview Mundine was asked what he thought about the 911 bombings.....Mundine said because the USA invades other countries they should expect some of the same back....he said the same about AUST It was a silly thing to say :deal
Have a link to that offer? It really isn't that high to get Kelly to agree to go to the contender's home court is it? He was slated to make $2.5 + against Williams. The + being a PPV cut. I believe this is accurate. So, if Mundine wants the fight on HIS terms, he is going to have to pony up a lot more money than that. Is that $3 mill US or Aussie?
