The bird holding the belt checked out Kessler's cock when he stripped off.
Re: The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!
Kessler weighed in light. Effect? Does he plan to box more?

I think he will box more but I doubt coming in light has mich to do with it, id say its more a reflection of how hard hes trained.

Ringwalks are supposed to be at 11.15pm London time.
Ward is now talking about maybe kinda coming over to England and fighting Froch.
Ward's last fight against Dawson earned him a $1.365 million purse.
If this PPV is really successful (I was wondering why they'd have this on Champions League final night but when they announced it was PPV the date may turn into a masterstroke) and does a million buys, once you take off VAT and Sky's share that'll leave about six million quid for the promotion. Add on the gate, foreign TV money and everything else and that's I'd guess eight to nine. Let's say the promoters' costs and profit is nearly three and the gross is nearly nine. That leaves six million quid, or nine million dollars for the fighters to split. Probably closer to four million dollars each. That's still nearly four times what Ward made for his last fight.
If Froch wins Ward can easily ask for a 60/40 split and will probably get it. Froch winning means he's the biggest payday for Ward and Hopkins by some distance.

I'm guessing they went for speed. Be interesting to see Kesslers approach. I guess there could also be a chance he over trained but he looks healthy enough.

Fuck me, you're being a bit optimistic there kirk. A million PPV? The promotion has been massive, but if it gets close to half that it will be amazing. It wouldn't get a million viewers on normal sky sports.

Froch was struggling for KOs at the top level, only managing to stop Jermaine Taylor, but look at the last 2 fights.
I think Froch stops him round 6-8.
Froch fought, an average Abraham, an old Johnson (only by MD) lost to Ward, KOed BUte and KOed Mack. Only think impressive there is the Bute win and in hindsite Bute was good but not that good. Mack is shit. What Froch has done, is not that impressive and if he wasnt English he wouldnt be getting this ridiculous hype.

Abraham and Johnson are well suited to make Froch look good, both very pedestrian, one a one trick pony middle weight and one a weight drained light heavy in his forties.

If Froch wins Ward can ask for a 60% split but he aint gonna get it. Froch knows he is the draw and will more likely get 60% himself in my opinion. Ward doesnt exactly have guys lining up to fight him. Froch on the other hand does.
