    Like any of these bums deserve the money. How many Germans are paying good money to see Tony Thompson or Mormeck?? ZERO. Klits are the attractions therefore they deserve the lions share.


    Same reason why Mayweather makes upwards of 40 million while his opponents get 2 million. Funny how you haven't made a thread about those Mayweather "slave contracts." Wonder why that is....

    I know K2 Promotions was founded after that. My response was addressed at Manning and is essentially irrelevant to the thread. I haven't seen a single valid argument in this thread for K2 slave contracts. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung got klittards in shock.

    Molested on your own thread. Asking for a valid argument yet you have no rebuttal. That's rich

    Would you consider the K2 contract as explained in the OP as a reasonable contract? Even if you knew that some of the demands are unprecedented or highly uncommon?

    Do you have any idea what the term "leverage" means in business? Note that when David Haye had his own bit of "leverage" they had a 50 50 split.

    Quit crying.

    I do. K2 isn't the first promoter taking advantage of "leverage", however they're the ones with the most outragous demands at an unprecedented level. You okay with that because it's your heroes involved? Consider yourself a klittard then.

    Faerun, hsve you actually ever had the priviledge to read or handle a boxing contract??? Not to sound like a dick, but 99% of contracts in boxing have unusual stipulations set forth by the promoter.

    Its not just K2, but most boxing promoters.

    :nono Ever hear of Don King??? Was it acceptable that he demanded options on fighters and signed fighters to slave contracts and robbed them?

    Again, Klitschkos are the ones bringing in all the revenue, not the opponents (with exceptions, like Haye which was 50/50). Tell me why they dont deserve the money that they are bringing in.

    What choice do they have. Thats like saying ransom is acceptable because some people pay it.
