    We don't really know what kind of money Kessler would have got. Maybe he's in negociations for an even better payday or a similar payday but vs a lower risk fighter.

    I wish we could know, then we could make up our minds about Kessler "ducking" Miranda or not but since it's impossible to know, I wont pass "judgement".

    Good for you man :good

    Me on the other hand? I say he's a *****. Why? He desperatly needed to get back on the map and a fight in the states with a well known fighter would do wonders to spark his career again. Now, not only did he look like **** against JC, he is ducking Miranda?

    He should just retire if he doesnt want to fight

    WTF. Do you know personnally Mikkel Kessler ? Has he directly told you this was the best offer he received lately but decided to say no anyway ?

    We know he was in negociations with Taylor, a few days ago. That is a much bigger fight for Kessler then Miranda is. And he's definately not desperate. :lol:

    If he is really looking into fighting Taylor then i take back what i said b/c that WOULD be a bigger/better fight for him. BUT i didnt see that. Do you have a source? I only saw this:

    I hope Kessler responds. He has no fights close to being lined up, at least not with HBO or Showtime. He has been idle for too long. Time to get off your ass and take this fight!

    This is the perfect way to describe it. Miranda is a copy of Andrade with slightly more power and a worse chin.

    Because Andrade has a rubber face and iron chin while Miranda cant take what he himself dishes out.

    sorry if i have missed it , i could not see it reading the thread .

    what was the great monetry offer kessler was offered ?

    just to put it in perspective of what i know

    kessler got paid about $4,000,000 to $ 5,000,000 v calzaghe.

    kessler got 75% of the $1.777,000 purse v andrade.

    beyer got $1.1 million v kessler, i am not sure what kessler`s cut was.

    i am guessing kessler got a very good payday in australia v mundine.

    anyone know the miranda offer ?

    It's going to be substantially less. Miranda's been hanging out on FNF's lately, ever since the Pavlik loss.

    HBO and Showtime wanted in on it so i dont think it would be less. It probabky would have been a main fight on a card

    espn bills are the equivelent of york hall cards, which is why i made my point.

    i would still like to know what the monertry offer was to see if it was serious or not.

    Both HBO and SHO were bidding on it as a main event for a card. I dont have the details, but I can only assume it was fair money.
