Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham Reportedly Agree In Principle To Fall Fight

[HattonTheHammer]

The fight wont be on PPV because of kelle sauerland insisting he wrap AA up in cotton whool by keeping him in germany.

Had Abraham of headlined 2-3 cards in the US this would be huge business right now and at least double the financial interest as what they`ll get.

At least though finally AA`s team are showing the initiative and getting him over to america which indicates the likelihood of this taking place to be rather good

I'm as critical about Abraham's opposition as anyone, but who was he supposed to headline against in America? There are no marquee fighters at 160, aside from Pavlik, and I can't see HBO being interested in promoting a Abraham-Simon/Abraham-Demers type bout.

He came over and headlined against Miranda, in Miranda's backyard, granting a rematch because of a controversial fight. That was pretty much the only name fighter he could get which would drum up any interest in the States and even that had to be at a catch-weight. There are few to no viable "headlining" options for Abraham in the States. It makes perfect sense that he would stay in Germany unless it was for a big fight, rather than be an undercard fighter in America for comparatively small amounts of money.
