Purses for Kessler and Stieglitz.

lol they had to break the bank to convince Stieglitz to take it.

 

I think that what gives credibility to the tourney is the fighters not the belt. And if he would not have give it he would been strip and the belt would have been out of the tourney. I think, even if I have no proof of that, that its why Showtime showed Kessler/Bouadla and it will show Kessler/Steiglitz. Because Kessler gave the belt back to the tourney.

 

I must say I agree.

 

If Calzaghe brings his WBO belt for a photoshoot... You'll believe his the new WBO SMW Champion ?!

 

His original name was deram.

This is his second alias that I know of. :good

 

I was thinking of the 2 personnalities he seems to have. Sometimes a good logical poster, sometimes more stubborn. He is very sensitive today, the day we learn Kessler will receive less money to fight Stieglitz than to fight Bute.

 

It is still the right route for Kessler IMO. And for the record... Kessler is still a bigger star than Bute.

 

Deram....:think

 

Duck this duked that...........Personally i wanted Kessler to go to Canada and KO Bute.:bbb..........now i have to "live" with a Stieglitz fight..:think..

If Kessler ever should have gone to Canada in his next fight to face and maybe lose to Bute - the offer should have been mega huge - As JoeAverage said. The Bute camp never respected that. They fought Kessler and Sauerland was desperate :deal

Kessler duked no one. Sauerland thinks 3-4 fights a head. Good money versus Stieglitz, then the S6 winner and then Bute................and then the Klitschkos.......:yep







JESUS - I HAVE BEEN HERE SO LONG, THAT I AM BEGINING TO SAY THE SAME THINGS LIKE JOSEY WALES AND THE OTHERS CALZAGHE FAN BOYS BACK IN 2007...................:

 

The money Sauerland wants for Kessler to fight Bute may not exist in today's boxing. Some of you guys were saying Kessler would make more money facing Stieglitz. Well, it was not true. You should forget the Kessler-Calzaghe purse. First, it was on HBO, not Showtime. Different kind of money. Second, the fight was not profitable for HBO so that kind of money won't be seen soon in a fight between 2 non-American. The offer was not enough? Maybe. But if Sauerland expects too much, Kessler won't be in a great fight ever from now.

 

Not for a long time.

 

What's the situation like with Sat.1 in Denmark, would that have made Danish PPV an option? Stieglitz has had his last two fights on that German private TV channel, I wonder why they didn't make a deal with them then.

 

I still think that Kessler can generate more money fighting then Bute, but that could all change if Bute beats Ward or Kessler.:bbb

 

He's stated that he had problems in his training camp for the Ward fight.
