Arum to Bunce: "Sturm in October, Froch in January is the plan"

[CFH]

It looks like they pretty much screwed Mora out of the fight in order to face Sturm.

ok, i mean i really wouldn't give Mora that much of a chance in winning but hell, waving a HUGE payday in the guys face then getting the boot for a Sturm fight (even though its a more significant fight), seems a bit harsh

He's probably the fallback option. To be fair, he was lucky to receive the shot in the first place. The Sturm fight is much better for boxing though. I'm really tired of the Middleweight champions taking less meaningful fights when they should be fighting each other.

I certainly don't disagree with any of that, though it's starting to look like Pavlik's people might be trying to keep him away from Abraham (the only MW fight I really want to see), but Pavlik and Mora had signed the contracts and at that point the fight should happen unless there is a legitimate reason to cancel it.
