Kelly Pavlik-Paul Williams Hits a Serious Roadblock

[nouseforaname]

Dear Punisher:

Beat the crap out of Pavlik, and then you'll get the big piece of the pie. Very Simple

[Phatfarm1980]

This would be a great fight for the fans. Pavlik hasn't really done anything in my eyes since his wins over JT apart from get a beating by hopkins!

Williams wil give pavlik trouble but not sure if williams can handle pavliks power!

[Tom_Tocca]

IMO you can compare their status with

Mayweather vs. De la Hoya

PBF (Williams) very well the better all around fighter but DLH (Pavlik) being the bigger draw...in the end, DLH made a lot more money but PBF wasn't argueing b/c he knew that by beating DLH, he would make even more money in his next fights...

[el malo]

Didn't that fight come with and undercard?

yea with 2 unknowns. no one knew who juanma was or ponce deleon. so like i said GARY LOCKETT lol.

[sblock22]

Cmon PWILL ur making a million 1/2. 3 months from now you will get an even higher payday once you knock out kelly. Take the money and make the fight.

[GRUSTLER]

That doesn't make any sense. Just because they're putting up money for The Fight and not the fighter, doesn't mean it should be 50/50.

Pavlik and Top Rank can walk now from the deal and The Ghost will still make more coin then The Punisher fighting on a Top Rank PPV.

P-will better compromise on this one or else.

Doesn't matter, these guys are doing business and if I
represented a fighter I would want my fighter to get some
of the money on everything as well even if it's not half but
of course I'm going to want to make something off of the
gate and sponsorship. The Sponsor will be Sponsoring the
fight as a whole not just a one man fight! When they make
them banners up their doing because it is a Pavlik/Williams
fight and when people come to see the fight their coming to
see Pavlik/Williams! PLUS the fight ain't going to be in Youngstown
Ohio where Pavlik is a favorite it's going to be in Atlantic city.
They should reap in all the benefits IF NOT pay Williams more
than $1.55M out of that $3.75M BOTTOM LINE.

When Pavlik fought Taylor for the first time, they accepted a 1 Million Dollar Purse. Flat amount, no gate, no bull****. He was coming off a huge win and was hyped big time. He took the fight for the opportunity. Taylor took in just under 3 million.

This is a damn good fight and both camps got a fair offer. Hell Pavlik made 2.5 million for fighting Lockett, he is taking less for this much more risky fight.

[RodBarker]

Pavlik is a loser. Paul is taking big gamle fighting a huge 160lber when Williams in my eyes is a big WW. Pay the man you bald ****.

Williams a big WW , try a freak welter like Tommy Hearns at 6-1 who went to Middle and all the way to cruiser , Williams is more a MW than a WW , aint you one of the people that ***** about Floyd fighting Williams yet you say Williams is handicaped with Pavlik , man the double standards that appear in this forum are unreal .

[boricuarn]

Lately Pavlick has not showed anything, seen to be that instead of fighting better he is fighting worse.

[Kevin Jesus]

Being one of his biggest pay days to date, if not the biggest pay day of his career, i am sure that Williams is fine with the purse split and would love to sign the fight and start training right this second.

Goossen is trying to get more money for himself and Williams, but i doubt Williams has anything to do with the fight not being signed by now. It's just managerial/promotional stuff that's going on right now.
