Der September könnte ein heißer Monat werden. HBO scheint an nem Taylor-Pavlik-Kampf ähnlich interessiert zu sein wie an einem Taylor-Calzaghe-Kampf und bietet ein beinahe-$5-Millionen-Angebot.
Laut Lou DiBella (Taylors Promoter) und Bob Arum (Pavliks Promoter) hätte man eine Einigung erziehlt. HBO plant den Kampf für den 29. September.
Was noch fehlt ist, dass DiBella das Ganze mit Taylor abklärt und dieser seine Zusage gibt. Da Taylor aber sich daran interessiert zeigte gegen Pavlik zu boxen, sollte dies machbar sein.

When pressed about fighting Pavlik (31-0, 28 KOs), Taylor's answer was simple: "I'll fight him. Yes, I will fight him. We just got to get the money right."

Taylor's promoter, Lou DiBella, and Pavlik's promoter, Bob Arum, both told ESPN.com that they have hammered out a deal in principle for the fight to take place this fall. HBO's working date is Sept. 29. Although the promoters are on the same page, DiBella still needs to finalize his own deal with Taylor.
"Bob and I basically have a deal. We have no major terms we are fighting over and I believe it will get done," DiBella said. "Bob and I have always been able to get things done. But there are discussions I need to have with my side and with HBO, and the HBO things are not related to money. I haven't fully talked to my fighter or [Taylor adviser] Al Haymon yet, but I know for a fact that Jermain wants the fight and Haymon isn't opposed to it."

"I think it's a great fight. I love Pavlik. He's earned the shot," DiBella said. "The winner of Pavlik-Miranda deserved the shot. Pavlik went in there and proved it decisively. He is the legitimate No. 1 contender. He's the best middleweight who is not the champion and he deserves the shot, and Jermain wants to fight him. Jermain is pumped for the fight.
