Sauerland offers Kelly Pavlik $3 million to face the Abrahammer!

[BattlingNelson]

Team Sauerland, manager/promotor of IBF middleweight titleholder Arthur Abraham, has sent Kelly Pavlik's management an offer for 3 million dollars to fight Arthur Abraham.

Last fall Sauerland offered WBA titleholder Felix Sturm 2.5 million euros for a unification fight against Abraham. For reasons unspecified Sturm turned that offer down and has lost considerable face in Germany.

Will Pavlik take the bait?

[MELLY-MEL...]

i hope they do, but if it's in germany i doubt they will, and i would not blame them for that. but if it's not in germany than they have to make the fight. that's what he made against bhop which was his career payday thus far.

Abraham will not beat Pavlik at 160, he's too weight drained.

[Hitman932]

Not worth it, Pavlik can't win a decision there and he doesn't need Abraham.

Plus, if somehow the judges got it right and Pavlik won it would be because Arthur was "weight drained"

[Owlzfan84]

I think he should take it. Btw whats Pavlik's career high payday?

3 mill vs bhop.

Pavlik would kill Abraham one way or another!

This fight is the only one that matters at 160. If Pavliks goes on fight Mora, Ill call BS. Pavlik should fight Abraham, in the US or Germany. The thing thats funny about the higher WEioght classes is that American fighter and people always complain about the Euros not fighting in the US. But look whos dominating those divisions and who are the ones that bring the Money, europeans.

Pavlik should drop that fight with Mora, wich is a nonsense fight and go on and fight Abraham!!!!!!!!!

[-Boxzilla-]

so is that 3 million euros or dollars? if the offers legit he should take it!!!

It's good timing by Team Sauerland, calling Pavlik's bluff knowing his has plans to fight someone else.

Sauerland is probably expecting a 'No' answer but knowing it'll make Pavlik look bad for turning it down because this is the fight everyone wants to see.
