Tomasz Adamek vs Vinny Maddalone to be on PPV

Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 27 KOs) will face brawler Vinny Maddalone (33-6, 24 KOs) in his next bout, Main Events promoter Kathy Duva told ESPN.com. She said she has a deal for the fight with Joe DeGuardia, Maddalone's promoter. "Maddalone is the opponent. He's raring to go," Duva said. The only issue is the date and venue for the fight, she said. Duva is planning on Dec. 4 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. However, she said Top Rank might move Miguel Cotto's fight on the same date from New York to Atlantic City, which would force her to move Adamek-Maddalone. "If worse comes to worse, I have Dec. 9 on hold [at the Prudential Center] in Newark," she said of the venue where Adamek has drawn big crowds. "That's a Thursday, which isn't the best, but we did Adamek's [cruiserweight title] fight with Steve Cunningham on a Thursday and his fans turned out." She said another possibility would be Nov. 20 in Atlantic City if the Martinez-Williams rematch does not take place there. She said whenever the fight takes place, Adamek-Maddalone will be available on pay-per-view, which is how his fight against Michael Grant was televised last month.

I don't understand why Showtime or Versus don't snap up Adamek ?

Adamek fighting 4+ times a year= yay!

Adamek fighting 3 times on PPV a year = boooooooo...

Based on what he has done I am ok contributing directly to the Tomasz Adamek Retirement Fund.

....lol i love that quote..accurate lately huh..good for duva for thinking ahead and not allowing her and her fighter to be pushed around..

And to add insult to injury, noted shithead Bob Sheridan and Benny Ricardo will likely be the anouncing team.

Bob Sheridan is in the pocket of Jose Suliman.
