Let the public speak: should it be Pavlik-Sturm or Pavlik-Abraham?

Pavlik Abraham, would love that fight to happen

 

Defo Abraham, But Sturm might be a good call aswell...
(Bring 2 ABC belts to the table Vs. King Arthur)

But FIRST thing's FIRST Kelly, Knockout Rubio Then get back to us.
(Anything short of spectacular, as Barkley would say "Would be uncivilized")

 

Well, the poll is who SHOULD IT BE. So I have to stick with Sturm. Had it been who WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO SEE, it would have been AA.

 

I want to see a slugfest between Pavlik and Abraham after Rubio.:bbbBut on other hand would not mind seeing Sturm get a crack at Kelly first as long Pavlik takes on King Auther some time in 2009:good I just hope ABC boys don't get in the way with there Mandatories:-( because sometime in 2009 Pavlik has to fight Sebastian Zbik, Sturm has to fight Anthony Mundine and Abraham has to fight the winner of Giovanni Lorenzo vs Dioniso Mirandaatsch

 

team pavlik will now have to pay a lot more for the fights than they once had to.

sturm was offered $3,300,000 to fight abraham in germany , so if pavlik want sturm or abraham they are going to have to pay around
$4,000,000 plus .

not sure given pavlik`s tv numbers v hopkins if that is financially viable.

 

That is why many, myself included, think that Sturm contacting Pavlik is just a way to duck AA.

 

what would be intresting is if team abraham switched the offer and offered pavlik that money to fight in germany.

 

Looks like Pavlik might have to go to Gemany to fight either man as that seem to be were the money is. I hope does as the Germans really know how to hype up a fight and Pavlik vs Abraham a much bigger event in Germany then in the USA:deal

 

Arthur knows Kelly won't fight in a Saurland promotion. He is more than willing to come here to take this fight. I don't know why both sides can't be given a list of judges, refs, and see if they can find common ground. It might take the reluctance to cross the pond much less.

 

AA would be preferable but Sturm will suffice for now.

 

edit

 

it would get pavlik established as a world star and not a domestic star.

pavlik v abraham in germany would pull in 10 million plus viewers i would have thought.

might even do klitchko numbers and be around 15 to 18 million.

the are also millions of europeans not in germany but who have access to german tv

whatever it would do huge numbers

 

Like I said earlier. Sturm called Pavlik after never showing interest before. This may be a one time shot at getting the belt away from him. I'm not counting, like many, on his mandatory, Mundine, doing it. Mundine may be too weight drained at 160. Last I knew he STILL hasn't made that weight for a fight. I'm sure he was promised the shot when he vacated to make way for Kessler at 168.

 

edit

 

mundine will want it to go to purse bids i would have thought and take it to austrlia.

IMO though mundine should have to fight as a middle before being ranked at 160.
from memory i do not think he has.
