    Zoo still refers to himself as "Undisputed Super Lightweight Champion of the World" on his website, lol.

    Undisputed fat ******* perhaps.

    Im not sure who taxes what. Can the AUS goverment tax money earned in another country?

    Kostya lied to Johnny twice when pressed about the purses he had earned and not paying Johnny the correct amount, his defence was laughable to say the least.

    Thats a good one


    He was ripped off by his accountant then Kostya underpaid him $1 000 000 not sure how that equates to pissing it up against a wall especially a guy who would have 1 drink a year

    If you read Johnnys book mrdoctor, you would know that kostya thought his sht didnt stink, knew better than the man training him etc etc, you call this humble? without the help of Mordey and Johnny KT would still be sitting in russian as a wasted talent. He betrayed the trust of those around him and close to him and those who have helped him many many times. You can not let a mans achivments blind you from the truth!

    Ced didnt Kostya have the accounts all set up so Johnny didnt know about the true amount of the purse? I wouldnt be so quick to point at the accountant being at fault since he is under the direction of Kostya Tszyu. Id have to find the section in the book but it speaks about how he was able to hide the true purse amounts from Johnny.

    if you knew kostya, you would also know johnny didn't trained him, he trained himself! when coming to oz he realised he needed an "aussie" to help him marketing and promo wise and he would never go to fenech so who was the next best option? lewis!

    Doesn't come as a great surprise Shiner. Most of the best fighters, particularly the experienced ones, virtually train themselves.

    Ty 2 different incident Johnny was ripped off by hos own accountant nothing to do with Zoo just a crooked accountant

    the second bit was kostya not paying him on the full amount of his purse he was paid by different people different amounts Showtime would pay him and the aussie PPV would pay him a different cheque, he would have some paid to him and others to his company so he would only need to show johnny the one cheque and say that is what i was paid then say in was aussie dollars not US dollars and then pay 10% of that as I said kostya claimed that he was paying 10% net so the money he paid Johnny was 10% after TAX which was half of what he should have paid

    How many seconds do you think it would have taken Khoder to work out he was getting underpaid in this scenario?

    Khoder is the Promoter so a bit different Tony is his trainer so dont think that this would be a problem in the Choc camp
