It`s certainly a strange one. After reading his demands I was quite suprised that the list didnt include someone to wipe his arse as well.

I look forward to seeing who Kessler will be matched with in the future as this was an ideal fight to re-establish himself.

i don't know why he didn't take the fight.

Maybe he didn't really want the fight.

Or maybe that's what most contracts look like. For all we know, that could be quite normal.

I'd imagine thats all pretty standard stuff.

You don't make demands and then back out once they are agreed upon for no reason. There must be a bigger fish in the picture.

Those demands are actually fair.

Keslers management are hard negotiators and I can only presume KESSLER WANT STO FIGHT IN eUROPE.

Who knows maybe he's thinking a little bit bigger.Maybe he's trying to get a tune-up fight and Miranda another tune-up this way it will make it bigger.Or Kessler is a being bitch and just is dosen't want to fight him.He anything is possible and with the previous list I've seen he definetly has no excuse to back out.

It is not backing out if you are just in a negotiation type setting. They are just playing with variables and opponents to get a good one.
