I Don't Beleive What I'm Reading...Abraham Receives Cease and Desist Letter

From Fightnews.

Smurf crackdown!

Looks like the "Smurf Boxer" IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham won't be wearing his famous golden hat into the ring on September 23 in Wetzlar, Germany when he defends against mandatory challenger Edison Miranda. According to the "Bild" newspaper, Sauerland Event and Abraham have received a declaration to cease and desist from a Berlin lawyer representing Peyo S.A. and IMPS S.A., the companies that own the rights to the cartoon figures. The companies also demand that Abraham stop the playing "The Smurf Song" when he enters the ring, despite the fact that the song's writer/singer Pierre Kartner a.k.a. Father Abraham is an Arthur Abraham fan and has personally sung the tune during the champion's ring walk.

....That's unbeleivable. Wow.

...so he'll have to find something gayer I guess

Personally I think it looks quite a bit like a meringue, or however you spell the word that describes the sugary crumbly dessert thingy. And as for music....I believe that Aqua are in negotiations to allow Abraham to use their cartoon anthem 'Barbie Girl' for his next fight.

That is the stupidest thing ever

Here is Miranda's answer to the Smurf hat issue...

classic!! anything but that!!! :)

Hang on a minute, I've just been thinking about this ruling for a minute and it really is totally absurd.

I mean if a world champion fighter with a strong national following is such a smurf's fan that he wears their hats and enters the ring to their theme tune, isn't that MASSIVE PUBLICITY for the Smurfs?

Personally I have never heard mention of or even thought of the Smurfs for the past 15 years except in relation to this guy! Surely he's doing them a favour, probably giving the Smurfs a cult following in Germany or wherever he's form? ???

HE'S GIVING YOU FREE ADVERTISING YOU F****** TARDS!!!!!

I think the world has gone completely mad.
