bob arum said he was going to talk to HBO on the 29th so does anyone have some kind of inside scoop cause i dont
Pavlik might become Kessler part II. (At the Pace they are working right now) Would have been great to get at least 3 fight's out of kelly this year.. IMO, we would be lucky to even get to see him step into a ring once this year. (He needs to get his life straight first)
They wanted Sturm but HBO said they will only offer $2million so that might be off the table. Abraham called them for out for a long time and was always ignored and still being ignored when they considered Sturm over him, now he's moving up that leaves Pavlik to fight Lorenzo maybe or Williams.
I think you're (inadvertantly) on to something. Pav and Kess both showed great promise and both have suffered from a lack of serious competition. If his handlers don't want him facing AA, bring on Pavlik-Kessler !
They were in negations with Felix Sturm. Arum wanted $2.5 million from HBO, HBO said they would only give half of it. If the fight does get made, look for it to be on Top Rank PPV.
