    So Chisora's getting 250,000 euros for this fight ~£207,000. How does that compare to others who have fought the Klitschkos?

    Good on him, Francis never lived that decision down. He's there to win a world title not look like a walking advert. I'd of been worried about his mentality if he accepted.

    This amazed me; I mean surely this won't be a million miles of his fight fee right?

    And B-Hop against Tito, who then put the 50k he got on a bet for him to win.

    Can't believe he turned £70k down. He can't be that short of money then.

    I'd have done it. It means **** all. Not a losing attitude it's just being paid an extra 70k which is very nice money for doing nothing

    200 grand, is pretty **** if you ask me. Credit to him for taking this fight for pretty **** money, puts things into perspective when fighters like carlos maussa got about 800k to fight hatton nearly 7 years ago.

    Dont know why he'd turn it down doesnt really make sense.

    Why would you turn down an offer of 70K, I would definately see it as more of an incetive rather than a negative, I would want to take the 70K and prove to the sponsor and everyone wrong, and even if you losr you got an extra 70K.

    Just shows he's clearly a thick ****!
