Pavlik has been in contact with Magee re an Interim WBA world title fight http://www.irish-boxing.com/2011/08/jet-setter-magee-in-demand-and-linked-with-the-ghost/
If it's there, take it. Definitely winnable, maybe Pavlik doesn't know that Magee is a southpaw :think
I'd love to see this fight, it's a winnable fight for Magee against a big name. It's a pity the McCloskey/Frampton Belfast card is so soon, if you put this with them as a triple header it would be the biggest night of Boxing in Ireland for a long time, possibly ever.
Not enough money in it - he won't fight for peanuts you know I would give Magee a decent chance to be honest. Never been a fan of Pavlik always thought he was overrated. If Taylor had the killer instinct you wouldn't have heard of him again after the 2nd round of the first fight. Good puncher but technically flawed.
Thats the thing. If Pavlik won't take an easy looking fight with the promise of $1.5M in the next one its doubtful whether Pavlik-Magee would pay enough to interest His Highness.
There was less than a 1000 tickets sold for the weekend in his hometown. Maybe he was charging 10,000 a seat:yep
thing is Showtime are going to want to part of Pavlik, so his only chance of getting on a big network is on a PPV undercard. Maybe we see Pavlik vs Magee in Madison Square Garden on the Cotto vs Margorito 2 card.
no offence but magee's not really much of a name and the wba interim strap isn't much of a title so how is pavlik going to make enough money out of this bout to satisfy his obvious avarice?
