    Which promotor will pick up Mikkel Kessler? Will Sauerland be good for Kessler? Should he move to The States and try to establish himself over there?

    DKp as a last resort or DBE

    After dealing with Palle, I think he will have the sense to stay away from Don King; that'd be like trading a Trabant for a Yugo.

    Sauerland till now was directly and indirectly responsible for Kessler's biggest pay-days...plus they are more about boxing rather than business than Palle.

    Still Kessler should take the risk and maybe sign with Arena: He would have the best of both worlds - US and Europe...a co-promotion with Arena and GBP involved would be even better and would be reasonable as Arena works closely with Golden Boy...

    He needs to go to an American company.

    But...he will however go to Sauerland. They have allready done the talking with his crappy advisor Simon Lundt Hansen, and they are just waiting for Kessler to get fully released from Palle. I can't see how this should be a wise career move for Kessler though.

    Premature judgement! Unfortunately I can't call you a uninformed fool....yet! We'll have to wait and see.

    Calzaghe is an interesting one. Joe even said he'd promote Kessler v Hopkins.

    Golden Boy or Top Rank ideally.

    Sauerland wouldn't be bad either.

    I think the best for kessler would be golden boy,but before talking about a new promoter
    kessler have to leave palle.
    I know the talk about the 3 fight option,or 1 fight vs. Mads larsen,would release him from palle.But is it true??
    Mogens palle is a greedy,bitter man, who has done everything possible to ruin some fighters plans,if they was unhappy with he´s promotion,and was trying to leave him.
    Mads Larsen "lost" 3-4 years before he was able to get a new promoter.
    Rudy Marcussen is another example...
    Johnny Bredahl,former WBA worldchamp,write in he´s book about he´s contract with palle.And it seems like if a fighter write a contract with palle,then they have to stick with him till the end..NO MATTER WHAT!
    I really hope that Kessler is able to get away from palle,NOW.
    Mikkel Kessler needs to get some big fights now,and if palle can´t / won´t make it happen,i hope he can move on as quikly as possible.
    F..K MOGENS PALLE...

    Gold Boy only exploit great fighters like Kessler and Guzman and would make him lose dodgy decisions against other GBP fighters.

    Frank Warren would seriously be his best bet.
