    Just read an article in a ukrainian site. according to them, Egis Klimas, Usyk's manager said that they haven't booked team Usyks flights, or hotel room, and it's already 1 week out. Egis said, lets see if they book it. lol. Looks like Team Usyk is looking for a way out of the fight. I would book my own damn hotel and flight lol.

    The boxing business is filled with peter gazing suits who would sue your future great-grand kids if you assault them for being snobby little pecker suckers. If you win a bid and you are the host, YOU PAY!!!

    Anyone dogging out Team Usyk because they won't pay their own way, like bruce_keyes aka brewskie, would be up in arms if it was Floyd Mayweather stiffing someone on a flight. He would be a bag of mother ****ers, but its Gassbag team hammer and sickle so its okay.

    I don't think it's the money, it's the security. These countries have been at the edge of war for years.

    Usyk is being a Diva and U know it!! He probably asked for the Penthouse sweet at the Ritz Carlton. he thinks he's huge draw lol... Gassiev has more followers on Instagram, he is way more well know than Usyk. I don't care about FLoyd, nobody would stall FLoyds accomodations, because they know how big of a draw and how important he is... So are u saying Usyk is as important as Mayweather?? HAHAH thats great

    Bottom line: Usyk wants OUT, just like Big ***** Jarell Miller pulled out of the Pulev fight.

    Klimas said that Comosa are doing a wonderful job – they are helping us with the tickets, with the hotel security issues, they are trying to save the fight, actually. But the russians are not cooperating at all.
    He also added that Usyk himself is fully immersed in training – he knows about the situation but doesn’t care about it much.

    The fight will happen, I think.

    Could be a publicity stunt. Or just a way for Usyk's team to exert some pressure on the organisers.

    :lol: Keep telling yourself that. Because y'know, Usyk has a long history of being a diva and not wanting to fight his opponent's backyard. He's practically SOG like..... Gimme a ****ing break.

    Ooooohhh Gassiev has more followers on Instagram.

    For now he does, but just watch them abandon him in droves after Usyk puts a Saunders-Lemieux like schooling on his ass, Gassiev came within a hair of being out pointed by a decrepit Lebedev, a near sedentary southpaw, can you imagine what a far more fluid fleet footed southpaw is capable of doing to him?

    If Usyk pulls out again, for whatever reason, I'm never watching any of his fights again. u know that elbow injury was probably fake lol
