Pavlik pulls out of Aug 6th Fight!!! WTF. Anybody know?

[marbleheadmaui]

If I were Bute? I cancel the Pavlik fight RIGHT NOW!

Pavlik is far too unreliable to count on.

I'd call Glen Johnson and ask him if he'd like that date.

Pavlik already did that. He pulled out of Saturday's fight and the Bute fight. Dude's career is over.

Jack Loew, quoted in this article (http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/1...ce-bute-next):

"Well, it is what it is,” Loew said. “He didn't show up for the run yesterday, but then we had a 10-to-2 p.m. workout scheduled for here [in Youngstown] at the Southside Gym. But he called me about 10 minutes before the workout and said, 'I'm not taking the Bute fight, and I'm not fighting on Saturday.’

"He said, 'Why should I fight Bute for $1.1 million if Kessler wouldn't take $3.5 million? And why should I fight Cunningham on Saturday if I'm not taking the Bute fight? So I'm not fighting either one of these guys.' That's the last conversation I had with Kelly.”

Sounds like Pavlik's back on the bottle.

Oops! I missed that! Thankee!

I am speachless. He is my fav fighter. Or was my fav fighter I guess. I am just like desperately hoping somehow this fight can somehow go on. I just want him to be back where he was. Has serious mental issues going on now.

Kelly needs to retire. At least long enough to find his hunger, and lose his thirst. Seriously though he should duck out for awhile.

That's probably the most meaningful sentence that resumes the situation the best.
