I agree with the writer on a couple of points. First and foremost, there is no reason that I should send a letter from Boardman to Youngstown and it should go to Cleveland first. Second of all, we need our jobs here. Third of all, we put a lot of money into that post of money into that post office recently. More taxpayer dollars out the window. And time sensitive documents can and will be affected.
Come on, let's be positive about this. Sometimes change is good and this may be a good thing for Pavlik's career. And I am sure that it is nothing personal between Pavlik and Loew. It a career decision and one that Pavlik may have had no choice but to make. I like that Loew wants whats best for Kelly. Best of luck to both!
I agree with Pyroc. I lived in the South and that is how it is. You will pay for the watermelon in taxes for government programs that the working poor American citizens cant even take part in. Then you take away jobs from American citizens who desperately need them, though we are such a spoiled nation you probably couldnt find too many Americans who would do many of the jobs that the illegals do.
I've lived in the South, I know what happens when there are no prevailing wage laws or when bosses are allowed to pay low wages for construction or skilled craftsman. What you end up with illegal workers who spend very little in the area and send their money out of the country. You are then taking jobs from the your friends and neighbors who live in the area, are spending in the area and desperately need the jobs.You will also have an influx of some illegals who will bring their families, and our school system will spend money teaching them English and providing any special services that they need. There are many other things to consider as well. But the prevailing wage laws evens the playing field when it comes to pay and oftentimes keeps illegal workers away.
Life-he is from Youngstown.....and my comment was about postings by people from Youngstown after Kelly Pavlik made a business decision not to fight in Youngstown. I have commented about how I feel the people of Youngstown have not treated him fairly. Why you are respnding with something that has nothing to do with it is beyond me. Looks like bad communication or a bad deal between TOP Rank and KP is what happened. So, given that information, am I going to see all kinds of negative comments about Top Rank or is Youngstown going to crucify one of their own?
How many of you just watched the news tonight? How many of you feel stupid about the comments that you made before even knowing the story? I love it! Again, Youngstown at its best!
Life's too short-Look at what has been posted here about him. Look at what has been posted about him after every story that is printed. If these comments represent "Youngstown" then Im glad he isnt fighting here. Why fight for what is a pittance in the boxing world------not in the Youngstown world-----for a bunch of people who have say these types of things. Its not worth it. As I have said, when he was winning, everyone was on the bandwagon and erecting billboards. When he began to lose, they made nasty comments, and when he was down he was kicked. No one here has one time said one thing about the kids that he has been there for and the charities that he has supported. What I think it is is that when you come from a town like Youngstown and this life is all that you have to look forward to, you want to be apart of the excitement surrounding Kelly and then when that is gone, because you have no life of your own, you feel hurt like something has done something personal to you. Do you know what the cure is for that? Three words! Get a life!
Concerning my last post, if people were more supportive of Pavlik and did not say, do, and post the things that they do about him, I believe that he would have fought on Saturday no matter what he was going to be paid for the Bute fight. We have seen him fight and win and say it was for Youngstown. We have heard him say that he wanted to fight in Youngstown. But when you are offered a low amount for both fights and you have the people of Youngstown on your back and treating you like we see posted here, you have to wonder if it didnt play a part in his decision to cancel the fight. I would not fight here for that reason and I bet if all who posted here were in his same situation, you would not either. Would you fight to save your career? Sure! Would you fight for the people of Youngstown after all that was said and done? I bet you wouldnt!
Keep postal center in Youngstown

Pavlik moves on, no regrets
Can anyone relate to his comment about being asked to take a huge paycut at work? Think about that for a moment Would you? I wouldn't.
