    Martinez stole Williams' confidence.

    After what Martinez did to Williams they wouldn't dare put Paul in the ring with Kelly. Period.

    I don't know which side to believe.

    Sounds to me like neither one of them are overly eager to get in there with the other.

    Williams prolly got tired of Pavlik's bull****, after he puled out twice before and then fought 2 weeks later.

    Also, he probably realized after the Martinez fight he's not really made for 160.

    Williams' team got tired of Pavlik playing fast-and-loose with the fight dates over a veruca on his finger.

    Think about who Pav's promoter is and you will quickly realize who you should believe.


    His fighters are always into some type of controversy when it comes to negotiating fights. I don't so much blame it on the fighters themselves, as I think they all want to fight the best, and are not personally scared to do so. He is just a hard guy to negotiate with.

    Yeah. Goosen is such a sweetheart. Nice misdirection. Paul Williams turned down a career high payday offer to fight for the titles. Nuf said? Should be. Goosen thinks he is 'entitled' to a 50/50 COPROMOTION with THE CHAMP? Please.......

    Who postponed the fight 2 times in a row? Pavlik. But yet Williams is ducking to fight Pavlik? <<<Um yea sure only ******s will say something like that. I got a question for booradley, I remember you post a thread about Pavlik team offer Williams to fight Pavlik on december 19 correct? Well tell me this makes sense, Team Pavlik offer to fight Williams on december 19 but yet that's the same date Pavlik didn't want to fight cause his hand is still messed up? Didn't Jack already said he don't want Pavlik to fight Williams not a 100 percent? So you still believe team Pavlik offer Williams to fight Pavlik on december 19?

    Now as far as Pavlik biased fans saying Williams is ignoring to fight Pavlik on a future date, well he ain't cause Goosen already made it clear that it's 50/50 split co promotion or there's no fight. I agree with Goosen. Yes Pavlik is the champ but who has he defended that was very good in 08 and 09? Williams in 08 and 09 has fought far better fighters then Pavlik has except Hopkins but it was at lightheavyweight. Also Pavlik last fight, he couldn't even sell out in his home town for goodness sake in which proved he don't have a drawing power that most biased Pavlik fans seem to believe. And the quote from a fighter "what have you done for me lately" in which case what has Pavlik done at 08 and 09?

    By demanding a 50/50 CO PROMOTION with the champ Goosen stopped these negotiations dead in their tracks. Period. End of. They can't even get to the melt down stage. Why not just have Paul initial that career high pay day contract he has and send it back? Comes complete with a matching set of three championship belt. But wait! Theirs more! If he wins now, he also gets absolutely free a jump in P4P status. Not enough? For a limited time we will throw in FANS! Act now. This is a limited time offer. Void if Kelly KO's/manhandles Martinez or Kermit does the same to Paul.

    Legal disclaimer: Paul will not be eligible for the ginsu knives because he cuts easily.
