What the word on Calzaghe vs Kessler??

Warren is a liar, I would never believe a word he says.

 

Without any emotional attachment to boxing, I am better qualified than any fan to make judgement.

 

I am not defending Blocky here (at all) but there is actually one thing that I find a little strange. Maybe it is not, but then explain to me why not.

Palle says that this is how it happened:

1. Palle sent an offer of 5 mill.
2. Warren sent an offer of 3 mill.
3. Warren then sent an offer of 5 mill.
4. Palle said "yes, thank you".
5. Warren returns and says "no, sorry, the numbers don't add up afterall".
6. Palle sends an offer of 5 mill.
7. Warren says "ok, you're on!"

Now...

8. Palle says that he agrees to Warren's new terms (5.5 mill.). HOWEVER! Palle has not made a contract yet. He has faxed Warren back saying that he agrees to Warren new terms and now he wants to hear if Warren really meant it.

_______________________________________

Bottom line: There is no contract for anyone to sign yet. Doesn't exist. however, the ball seems to be in Warren's corner and with all the "we hope that Palle can actually find the money"-talk, one should think that Warren would have responded straight away. I will agree with Blocky one one thing: $5.5 mill is a lot of money and the biggest purse that has been paid to ANYONE in SMW for decades! So.... I would sign asap if I was Warren/Joe.

 

Guys,

I spoke with Joe this morning and he has arranged to meet Frank Warren to discuss the proposed bout with Kessler in the next couple of days.

As soon as there is any news or a possible agreement I will post an article on [HTML]www.joecalzaghe.com[/HTML]

I haven't updated the site for weeks due to the lack of uncertainty surrounding contracts and if this continues then I'll simply write an article following a brief informal interview with Joe voicing his thoughts and feelings on the Calzaghe v Kessler fight.

For now all I'll say is that Joe is prepared to fight Kessler here, there, anywhere as long as he is given the remuneration that Mogens Palle offered in his original offer "5 million dollars NET + British TV rights" from September on.

I suspect the delay in gaining agreement on this offer is predominantly down to both promoters; Palle wanting the fight in November for the greatest birthday disappointment ever and Warren wanting the fight in September so all the money he's paid to wangle Carl Froch from Henessey sports won't turn out to be a sunk cost.

Well I am going away in less than 2 weeks to lose my internet, for 3 months hopefully...

SO I HOPE I HEAR SOMETHING SOON!!

This **** is seriously taking the **** now. :-(

 

If Palle offers 5 mill, FW says OK, then Palle offers 5,5 mill, and then FW does not know to say yes or no. Then they are both ready for a mental hospital.

There are simply too many things we do not know or we only know the half trues and half lies.

And Blocky, no FW and MP does not feel that they need to inform you everytime they consider something new. So stop being so sure you know the truth.

 

If this fight doesn't get made, I will cry.

 

one thing i keep wondering about is why do they keep on talking thru the media? why dont they sit down and have a meeting face to face either in london or in copenhagen and get this thing going!???
its a 1 hour flight or something like that for christ sake!:?

 

It's because Warren can't be out of water for more than 2 hours at a time or his fish eyes will dry up.

 

Do you have sources that some people aren't privvy to or are you just saying that this contract was sent 12 days ago on the back of the media ??

The only reason i ask is almost everything you post containes the line ''sent xx days ago by MP''

I don't think Warren looks like a fish at all to be honest. Stop the unnecessary slander.

 

:rofl :rofl

Well, then stuff him in a big fish bowl and fly him to Denmark!!!

Seems I misread the artikel - Palle has accepted Warren demands and has a contract ready, as soon as Warren gets back to him. Palle has his laywer give this message to Warren 12 days ago and Palle is still waiting for his answer. So Palle hasn't sent the actual contract yet - but other than that things still stand...

We're waiting for Warren to reply - Palle is ready and has backed his offer up - now it's up to Warren to do the same.

 

So your theory is that Palle has only said it to the Dansih media thinking - the english media will never know, as Danish can't be translated at all... great theory there...

As for Calzaghe moving on ... where to??? - which fight outthere is going to give him just something that comes close to the Kesslerfight in terms of money and legacy??? - Inkin? Froch? :yep

 

Separated at birth obviously
