Joe and Tony are from Ohio, like Kelly Pavlik, that’s why we support the “Ghost” !!!!
As reported by MaxBoxing:
After weeks of haggling and back and forth at the negotiating table, we finally have a fight that will pit two of the very best young prizefighters in the world. As middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik will defend his crown versus ‘the Punisher’ Paul Williams, October 3rd in Atlantic City, New Jersey. “You got a fight, fights on,” confirmed Cameron Dunkin, the manager of Pavlik to Maxboxing on late Tuesday afternoon.” Paul Williams is a terrific fighter but my guys also a great fighter and it’s a sensational fight for boxing. It’s going to be something, it’s going to be fireworks.” Simply put, there was too much money on the table for both sides and not a lot of options for both Pavlik and Williams at the current moment. And Pavlik according to Dunkin, gave his marching orders- make this fight a reality. “Again, Kelly did this with the (Edison) Miranda fight, a lot of people said he was underpaid for that fight because Kelly just called me up and said,” Cameron, just make fight,’ when no one else wanted to fight Miranda. And of course the ( Jermain) Taylor fight, rather than getting strung along and them asking for an exception and all that, he said,’ Forget about the money and just make me a fair deal. Get me what you can and let’s fight.’ Same way. “Well, these guys, they nit-picked and played and horsed around for weeks and they would up getting more and more and more. And again, true to his word,’ That’s OK, just get me the fight.’ So Kelly’s a real fighter and these other guys want to play businessman and all that and string everybody along. If Kelly was a crybaby, believe me, this fight wouldn’t have been made, at all. Not even close.”
