"Valuev is a chicken" Klitschko said. "We gave him the biggest financial proposition of his career - $2.5 million - and he says no".
I usually dont believe in these ducking stories. But i got to admit...this one looks like plain ducking from Valuev. Biggest purse ever for Him? Hell, would DOn King really be able to hold Valuev back?
Valuev must honestly think he will make more money down the line with whatever rematch contract he has signed with Haye.
Theres prob more to it.....$2.5 is alot of money. Maybe he wanted rights for Vals next fights after or a rematch with both bros etc..(ala the deal Haye signed with Klit). I wouldn't mind seeing this fight, i hope it happens still.
valuev is a controlled puppet of king and sauerland. they don't want to throw valuev down the drain yet. they know Vitali eats him alive and destroys his career. they want to use valuev for hayefaker.
Whatever happened behind the scenes, the fact remains; Valuev ducked Vitali I'll probably be talking about it for the rest of my life
Don King isn't interested in making the best fights possible. He is only interested in keeping his dirty claws on the WBA strap, nothing else.
Valuev is a fraud and nothing but a zoo show. Glad to see him carry on the circus show with no official world title anymore, he can go excite the casuals of the sport in his ring entrance and only that.
