Pavlik is on his way to becoming something of an elite gate-keeper or resume padder if he keeps this up. The title fights will dry up very soon. And Ward is going to do a ****ing number on him.

It's not signed. Pavlik is holding out for more money. HBO likes Ward, they like Kelly, and they want this fight. They'll throw some more money in the pot and get the fight done next week. As a Pavlik fan, I'm a bit disappointed by the fact that Hunter and Ward aren't taking Pav as lightly as all these "experts" on ESB. They're taking La Phantasma VERY seriously, especially Hunter.
