``Tarver is a mug. He treated me with total disrespect and contempt. Just four weeks away from when I'm supposed tob be fighting him I still don't have a contract.
``We announced the fight seven weeks ago and we've had one phone call from them in 14 weeks of negotiations.
``Drews is being paid a huge purse to come to Australia and I am honoured to be fighting a great champion for a prestigious title.''
The fight will be held at the 6000-seat Challenge Stadium in Perth.

Ah if that's the case then I'm all for it. If Tarver was being a primadonna and Green told him he could stick his crummy IBO belt and he'd fight for a proper one instead then that's pretty awesome.

I retract my 'F*** YOU DANNY GREEN' comments
That's exactly what I think lil-hobbit-man, the WBA title will be a big draw, and if he wins those Showtime fights will certainly come as American fighters look to track him down.

As for Tarver, the only bad thing about this is that we won't see him get an ass-kicking by an average decent international fighter, and the inevitable retirement that would follow.
