BY popular demand I bring you a new nearly there bit :P
Team Palle says that all their financial terms have been meet so it going to be in UK (95% change).
They are only lacking the signature and that is it.
Eventhough I am sick of the long process and pretty disappointed over not been able to go to UK to watch the fight. Its seems that the biggest fight at supermiddleweight is going to happen.
Great stuff!!! cant wait. Calzaghe UD.Quote:

In ultra shot Palle told the newspaper they had agreed too nearly all the details, they just need the signatures and its on.
But seems like its going to be in UK as I have said all the time :'(
Hey cheer up they might fight in wimbledon... and its the fight we all want to see.....
i wanted it to happen in denmark too.... i liked the last fight in denmark(andrade) and would like to have seen another one there.. and i would have liked to see joe fight outside of england for his rep.....
Also, if it comes through and it's in the UK, the word is it will be in SEPTEMBER - not november as Palle had wanted if the fight was to be in Denmark.
All in all great news - even if things can still go wrong.
I've been REALLY pesimistic for a long time about this fight ever materializing. But way things are going right now it's very hard to remain pessimistic.
Always thought it would end up in the UK tbh - people need to stop worrying, this fight will happen 100% right now this is prolly the most improtant or anticipated fight in boxing.
It seems in the end palle's offer was a crock, he didn't have the money to stage such a big fight.

"Negotiations have very much progressed, you'll have to say. Our financial demands have pretty much been met and only very few things are left," the promotor says to B.T.
"We have sent a draft to FW and we're now negotiating point by point. The details that are left, can't turn anything around," Palle continues.
The remaining details are among other things the geographics as both Denmark and Great Britain are in play. Mogens Palle doesn't seem to think the fight will be on home turf.
"If he is a serious in his negotiations, I'll say that there's a 95 % chance the fight happens. My guess is that it will take place in Great Britain."

I'm looking forward to taking my seat at the Millenium Stadium to watch Joe beat Kessler convincingly.
These promoters don't half drag things out though.

Good news CC. You seem to be Jangerog's not so evil twin.Quote:
