Pavlik never interested in Showtime tournament
TweetPublished: Mon, July 13, 2009 @ 9:15 p.m.

YOUNGSTOWN — When Showtime announced its lineup last week for its upcoming super middleweight tournament, some boxing fans wondered, “Why wasn’t Kelly Pavlik involved?”
Initially, Pavlik said he would have been interested, but after researching the tournament over the past week, he’s changed his mind.
“Why would I be in that tournament when I’m a middleweight?” he said. “They never asked me and I never wanted to join.
“Let them beat each other up. Let them ruin their careers for peanuts.”
Read the story in Tuesday’s Vindicator and on Vindy.com.

Kelly, whats up man? This would have been a great opportunity to fight the best in the world. You would have had your chance against Abraham like everyone wanted since you beat Taylor. If the Sturm fight falls through, go after Lucian Bute, Librado Andrade, or Sakio Bika.
