    i feel sorry for Pavlik,his friend Jack Daniels finished what Nard started and ruined the guy....to turn down that kind of money saying it's lowball only to be arrested months later for DUI...what a waste,i don't think we'll ever see him fight again.

    Hey don't discredit Lowballed-men. Pavlik said it was a lowball and that means it was. His word and Arum word is saint to lowballed-men.

    Yeah. But the fact that Kessler also said it was a lowball accompanied by Sauerland saying the same to yours truly makes me believe Arum was in the ballpark.

    On the contrary. :D



    You have no source on details regarding world tv rights & gate.

    I also didn't know that everything Arum said was gospel.

    I dont know if he can make better money right now. He now didnt fight for 1 year and 9 months and is fighting a come back fight with a top 30. So to have a shot at a belt right away without trying to go up in the ranking and the mandatory (who by the way make usually 20-30% of a purse) and he cant draw anyone in his backyard.... So 350k is not a bad first offer. Except a US name who participate in the S6 Dirrell gives nothing to Bute, Bute gives a lot to Dirrell in fighting him.

    Uhhmm. No. YOU have no source for that. I have a source that says what Kessler's purse consisted of. You don't.

    Again, YOU have no source on the world tv rights & gate revenues. NONE.

    Nowhere in the Scene article relating Arum's "findings" will you find that kind of info. Nowhere.

    Besides, Showtime money & PPV revenues can't be estimated accurately for you or me to come up with a solid purse for Kessler.

    Again, you have no source.

    I dont believe this number.

    But when it came out you were saying that with Calzaghe, Kessler made about 5M and so to Kessler to go to Canada 3.5M was lowball...

    I have a source for my info. You have none saying that there was world tv-rights, part of the gate and free coca-cola.

    Try again.

    Yes, but in my view 3.5M is not lowballing. If Kessler want 4M and more to go to Canada he will never go. Now is he the kind of guy to offer that kind of money to Bute to go to his backyard?

    Never heard it, hell he didnt even offer 750k.
