    Pulled out of tune-up and then starts hollering about how he's getting underpaid to fight Bute

    Pavlik Looked like Stir Fried SHIT in his "Comeback" Fight on the Pac-Mosley Undercard...The LAST Thing Dude Should B Doing is BITCHING about Money...w/or w/Out a Tune-Up, Bute's Gonna Beat him EASILY...

    Bute is Pavlik's cash out fight. He and his people know his chances against Bute are slim.... they're simply trying to get as much $$$$ as possible for Kelly's final ass whuppin.

    I just think Pavlik has no desire to fight anymore.

    He's ready for retirement.

    fight with bute is off.

    According to his promoter, Bute might fight against glencoffee instead.
    Knowing Bute and Interbox modus operandi, they'll probably dig up Anthony Hanshaw and claim that he was the only fighter willing to fight him

    Fck Pavlik. As a fan, I was looking forward to seeing him, and not for the first time, he's let his fans down. Fuck him - I'm tired of watching him throw away opportunity after opportunity.

    WTF does he expect? He's become a nobody - does he expect to get paid as much as he did when there were high hopes for him?

    I have to wonder - who the hell told Pavlik he was entitled to millions of dollars, regardless if he wins, or even fights? Who does he think he is?

    Another example of this kind of bull-shit from Pavlik was his statements about Showtime and that it was crap compared to HBO. First of all, Showtime is better than HBO at this point, when it comes to boxing. And secondly, as we all know, Pavlik was set to fight on Showtime - Shobox. What a fckr Pavlik's turned out to be.

    Yeah, seriously, its not like's he'd stand a chance against practically any notable at 168 anyhow aside from his fellow blown-up MW Abraham...he must have one of the worst championship record of any lineal MW champ

    Pavlik is so stupid. His entire justification for deserving more money than he's getting is that they paid him more in the past. What a dumb-ass. He's acting like a stupid victim bitch, and you can tell his confidence is gone.

    Dissapointing but not surprising. He'll probably be back in 3 years when he needs money.

    He was right after he beat up Taylor, and where have you been? Seems like you don't post much these days or am I just blind?

    Even if he's not happy with the money in a Bute fight, it's pretty dumb to pull out of this fight 4 days before it is scheduled, screwing over fans and Showtime. Jake wrote a good article about how Pavlik has shot himself in the foot on more than one occasion.

    He's probably back on the bottle again. He seemed like a guy in denial back when he was "clean" anyway.

    No I don't post much. I've lost interest in posting regularly. I'm more of an occasional poster now.

    Jeez, actually sounds like Kelly Pavlik needs to get out of Youngstown.

    He really thinks he's this big worldwide media sensation based on reports in his shitty local hometown paper.

    He's already talking about himself in the 3rd person and has a hard-on for Manny Pac for some reason.

    Wow, he sounds kind of deluded. He's famous enough in his own right, but he seems to think he's far, far bigger than he is, like Pacquiao big, and the whole world is talking about him :lol:

    CLASSIC Case of "Fame" RUINING a Fighter's Career...Pavlik was GROUNDED, FOCUSED & a Genuine BADASS Leading Up to & INCLUDING the 1st Jermain Taylor Fight...But it's Been All DOWNHILL Ever Since...

    Pavlik was on the Precipice of SUPERSTARDOM, but he Handled his Newly Acquired Celebrity about as POORLY as can B Imagined...

    Pavlik was set to make like $50,000 for the fight tonight after making over $250,000 for his last fight. He didn't know that he would be getting raped until a week ago and he pulled out of the fight after considering it over the weekend.

    This isn't mma. Losses hurt and name boxers deserve more than the kind of shit pay that top rank was giving him for this fight. In Kelly's case, a lot more.

    I am betting that things will work out for Pavlik just fine and probably financially better now. We'll see.

    How could pavlik not know his fight purse when the contract was initially signed? Someone should be held accountable for this

    Of Course YOU & Your Contrarian BULLSHIT Ass Would Take Pavlik's Side in this...

    Sorry, but BEFORE a Fight is Announced, BOTH Fighters R Made Privy to WHAT they're Making...Seriously Dude, U have THE LAMEST Schtick in the HISTORY of Fightbeat...CONSTANTLY Going Against the Grain DOESN'T Make U the LEAST Bit Original OR Cool...It just Makes U Look DESPERATE, Honestly...

    To JUSTIFY Pavlik's Stance in this is Probably MORE Idiotic than your Customarily IDIOTIC Stance on Sanctioning Bodies...

    The Contrarian BULLSHIT Artist has Struck AGAIN!!!....

    If Pavlik WASN'T Aware of his Purse, that Means Somebody FORGED his Signature on a Contract...If Not THAT, then Pavlik is FULL of Shit...

    What will it take to get Pavlik back into the ring again (aside from a 20 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon)?

    Cameron Dunkin is an idiot. I don't know why this clown makes money and signs fighters. The dude is such a useless fat ass.

    Dunkin clearly knows the ins and outs of the game and although he gears most of his guys toward TR i doubt he flat out lied to pavlik about the fight purse. reed is mostly likely correct and pavlik is the one who should be held accountable for backing out. he probably wasnt 100% ready for this bout and didnt want to risk a loss for 50Gs
