Lewis: "Everything the Klitschkos do is fuss"

I remember Booth saying "We are looking at one of three possible fights, a klitschko fight, Alexander Povetkin or Harrison."

 

The K brothers have boxed in front of a total of millions of fans in live attendance. Only a select few dozen boxers in history can claim the same feat. How is that killing boxing? You don't make any sense.

Whatever the K brothers are doing their live fans seem to love it and come back for more.

 

Do you expect him to say "we don't want this fight, Sky and Sauerland are pushing us into it"?

Either way, it's irrelevant. I always stated that the Harrison fight was poor so it doesn't make any sense to try and use it against me.

And apart from all that, if David Haye did do something to hurt boxing, why does that excuse the Klitschkos doing the same thing? It's inexcusable whoever does it.

Let me ask you a question. What is the best fight that has appeared on any K2 undercard?

 

Someone like Mayweather could fight a **** opponent on a **** card and charge $50 and still get high PPV buys. Pacquiao could do the same. That isn't a reflection fo whether it's good for boxing or not. Certain fighters will always be popular and their negative impact on the sport isn't reflected in their successes.

Things like this hurt the sport as a whole. They hurt other fighters, other promoters and hurt boxing in the future. That's why it's so greedy. The Klitschkos know they have a loyal fanbase who will watch regardless of what **** they give them. However, they will eventually become "Klitschko fans" and not "boxing fans".

Greed like this only helps the fighters in the main event but it greatly hurts the sport as a whole. Eventually, fans will get sick of mismatches which are supported by terrible undercards.

 

jack also forgets doing that would have meant less money for mormeck and chisora aswell..****ing guy thinks he knows everything but really shots himself in the foot alot.....educated idiot...

 

:good:good

 

you bet your arse im calling you a boy..only a boy would agree with lennox and not think hes at least being slightly out of line here...but like i said your opinion says alot more about you..you can name call all you want i already know your a tit...and i thought this was my opinion on lennys opinion and not a klit bro??****ing tit..

 

They don't earn a percentage of the ticket sales. They would in a co-promotional event but how often does that happen with K2? They earn a fixed sum, regardless of how successful the event is, and that's all.

Chisora and Mormeck were not paid any additional money because of ticket sales. To suggest otherwise is simply a lie. You're grasping at straws because you know there is no argument against what I'm saying.

 

the phrase educated idiot fits you like a wet suit jack a swear to almighty god..clasping at straws am i??lol..really think about what you just wrote then realise who is really clasping at straws..your either wanting two champions to fight for peanuts or their opponents to fight for them..either way their wont be enough money to go around for 2 main events..now please go shave your teeth...

 

Like I said, the money the fighters earn is predetermined and is not affected by ticket sales. Whether it was Vitali and Wlad on the same card or not, their opponents would earn the same amount.

The only people who are making more profit, are Wlad and Vitali. The fans lose out, their opposition make the same but Wlad and Vitali earn more money.

 

so your agreeing with my assesment that you for some reason want two champions to fight for peanuts on the same card.and seem to only want these certain champions to do it and not others...by heck jack i think your on to something...how dare mayweather and pacman fight on difference nights..i like them both therefore they should fight on the same card one after the other...i hope arum and oscar have their thinking hats on cause im going to write a letter..............**** off jack....are you talking to me or licking a lamp ffs...

 

I still think he feels a bit of a sting for being retired by Vitali.

 

What you did there is genius! You ignore every point I made and then created an argument against it. Awesome.

Fighters should never be allowed to have a one way relationship with the fans. The fans deserve to be entertained and that does not happen if you give them mismatches without any sort of undercard. If Wlad wants to fight Mormeck, that's fine, but why not fight him on the undercard of Vitali's fight or why not pay to have a decent undercard himself? There are plenty of promotional groups they could work with in order to give those fighters exposure and give the fans a good undercard.

But no. Instead of doing the right thing for boxing, the Klitschkos both show absolute greed and rip their fans off by promoting mismatches as major fights and they don't even have the decency to give fans a good undercard.

When Mayweather fights, it's usually against a good opponent and with a good undercard. When Pacquiao fights, he does the same. When any fighter on Top Rank's or Golden Boy's roster fights, there is a solid undercard. When Sauerland, FW, King, Hearn and many more promoters have a card, they ensure that the fans get a good main event and good undercard. Why? Because that is what helps boxing and the more boxing gives back to it's fans, the more boxing will thrive in the future.

Personal greed has no place in boxing and fans should always be against it. What is sad is that people like you excuse it.

 

Afolabi-Brudov was a on the Wlad-Mormeck undercard and a WBO Cruiserweight title fight.

Banks-Firtha was on the Vitali-Chisora undercard and was for the NABF heavyweight title, sure it's trash but a decent undercard fight.

Germany never had a history of great undercards and German TV doesn't even televise undercards cause viewers only care about the main event.
