    You might be right about sauerland having hands on putting leapai/boytsov winner as titkw challenget but wlad is still greedy **** if he tries to deny 20% purse what pukev deserves. Ffs think about it!

    Your reading comprehension is lacking :roll: My point exactly is that the WBO made Leapai a mandatory and enforced it immediately. The WBO from what I saw NEVER designated it as an eliminator, it was nothing more than a 10 round "tune-up" for Boytsov and a defense of Leapai's trinkets.

    http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/wbo...mandatory-challenger-to-come-this-week-232236

    Wlad pulled the strings on the WBO to make Leapai the mandatory.

    Is this clear enough for you now?

    You have to understand K2 hates Sauerland as they tried to **** on K2 every chance they got (e.g. making Valuev - Haye when Vitali was in talks with Haye). Wlad is asking Sauerland why they should pay Sauerland 20% when Sauerland themselves never even put Pulev up as a headline fighter.

    Sauerland never really invested any money in promoting Pulev, why would K2? And the IBF seems to agree :deal

    You're wrong. The fight was designated as an eliminator *BEFORE* the fight took place.

    The people who need to be blamed is the World Boxing Organization, as they’re the ones that ordered for Leapai and Denis Boytsov to fight it out in a WBO heavyweight eliminator to pick out a mandatory challenger for Wladimir to fight.

    [...]

    This was posted April 29th, 2014. Fight took place April 26th :deal

    Then Leapai upset Boytsov and Leapai's team enfored the WBO to uphold their regulations to designate Leapai as the official mandatory. The committee reviewed the issues and obviously agreed, otherwise Leapai could have taken them to court.

    Fair point....

    Though it doesn't change my view that the Klitschkos are using their influences to gain undue advantages.

    Here i have to give you a credit for that - Saureland does not manage Pulev very well.

    The point is, Wlad brings the money. Why would the mandatory position be an authority of a pay share? We live in a ruthless business world, not charitable one. It is what it is. Let's take Floyd for example. His oponents can be happy if they get 5-10%, mandatory or not. Unless they bring money. Business makes the rules, not a rigid rule of some boxing organisation.

    Sauerland confirmed before the fight on their twitter account that the winner of Boytsov Leapia would become the WBO mando. It's still on their twitter account now.

    Pulev is already happy to fight without money. So i do not see where the problem is?

    Because the sanctoning bodies stipulate it to ensure they are compensated fairly for their effort of earning a mandatory shot.:roll:

    That's nonsense. It's not up to Pulev to decide how much he will get. It's up to his promoter, whose biggest interest of course is getting as much as possible.

    Where do you live, in a fairy tail? Haven't you noticed that you can get a mando spot fighting cans? That boxing organisations are as corrupt as anything else? That business world works on a kill or be killed principles? That money talks? You better wake up because if you expect fairness of others you will only get disappointed.
