Pavlik wants no part of the tournament because since the Taylor fight, he seems to have been keen on not stretching himself. That might be Arum & Dunkin's doing, but the fact is he's been keen to avoid Abraham, & I think they only went for Hopkins because they saw him as finished & an easy name to get on his record. If he had won that his drawing power would have been great, but he didn't & the best money option he has now is Sturm for $2m on HBO. I personally I think the length is good, gives the guys enough time to recover between fights even if its a gruelling one & I don't see anyone bar Taylor maybe dropping out. Don't see any bigger fights, & by the time the winner is anointed I reckon Daniel Jacobs will be the MW champ of the world.
