Im shocked :o no Im stunned :o
What did I say all along about not believing it until their in the ring?
I was always suspicious about this fight actually happening but i still am dissapointed
I wonder why the 22nd wouldn't be available? Looks like they have Barerra-Barrios on the 15th and that's pretty much their only fight that month. Hopefully this will get done
I don't think this is comming to fruition, a week ago there was a post on here that within 2 days there would be an announcement, nothing yet, might as well forget about this fight sadly.
Then why dont they pick another day
Is either guy even in training yet?
I'm pretty sure that all concerned had agreed that the fight would actually be taking place in November to celebrate Mogens Palle's anniversary as a promoter.Quote:

they are thinking of having the fight in Nov. if Sept. 22 falls through because HBO doesnt want to pay 5 milllion for the fight..
i think its more about the money than the date..
other than the date and money from HBO: the promoters and fighters terms is pretty agreed to i believe...
its HBO not the fighters keeping this deal from getting done..
might be the promoters fault if they cant get a deal done soon..
There's always something getting in the way....back in the day when the criminal gangs ran the sport this fight would have been made years ago.Quote:

Actually, I heard it was to do with an injury that Kessler had received and that was an additional reason they wanted to put it back for additional recuperation.Quote:

If this number is right I dont get it, then it would make more sense to have it in Copenhagen with 40000, I thougt it would be in Wales. But they could be wrong here.
This backs some what up the statement that Palle dont have the finances for this fight :-\
HBO aint touchin shit on the 22nd of September...not unless it's got Vitali Klitschko vs Jameel McCline written all over it...no matter what anyone says...that man commands attention & both Calzaghe & Kessler will be second in that note.Quote:
