    There was a story about the brothers having a meeting with King before turning pro, regarding a potential promotional contract. During the meeting, King supposidly fed his dog(s) food from the dinner table. The brothers found this repulsive, among other things and signing with King was never going to be an option.

    Kevin, check out the Klitschko movie, they talk about it... DK was showing them how good he was on the piano, classical music... then vitali walked slightly to the side and saw that the keys on the piano were playing themselves:lol:.... then vitali said... we didnt trust him so we didnt sign

    Why do people believe anything Don King says? He was so bad, Arum looked like a pretty solid guy.

    That said, there are certain bonds worth far more than money. Vitali and Wlad have one.

    you are right.:good:good They honestly do. very very close brothers and very very close to their mother.

    She asked them not to fight, and they respect her so much, that no amount of money would make them disrespect her by fighting each other

    I wouldn't sign a huge contract with the man that tries to impress me with fake piano skills either :lol: the ol' ******* must have heard that they're well educated, intelligent and classy and thought that "they must dig this ****" :yep

    That was hilarious! One of my favorite parts of the movie (which I quite liked in all honesty).
