Forbes : Wladimir Kltschko Total Earnings between June 2011 to June 2012: $28 million Salary/winnings: $24 million Endorsements: $4 million Sport: Boxing
Two fights before Sosnowski drew with Pianeta, he got schooled by Zuri Lawrence and lost every round, which tells you how unbelievably shite Pianeta is. Horrible fight. A mismatch against a garbage opponent nobody cares about. The only saving grace is that it's on an obscure channel, because if this fight was on a bigger platform, it'd damage the reputation of the sport. At least nobody cares about this fight now and historically, it'll be swept under the rug with every other boring Klitschko defence against an opponent who'd make Primo Carnera look skilled.
It should be on TV, hardly anyone has EPIX, and the people who do seem to hate it. Not good for boxing that fans and potential fans don't get to see fight in U.S.
Epix has been putting on the Euro fights lately.... With the exception of Fat Dan I like their production team, and their HD is clearer than HBO's. John Duddy does the post fight interviews (seen in the past) Epix is a newer channel, I have Dish Network here in the states and get it..... That have had every one from Huck, Povetkin, David Haye, Chisora, etc
I have EPIX 1,2 & 3 on Dish Net. They also have great movies, show a lot of Euro fights. I can't wait to see Vitali or Vlad fight. Vitali Vs. Arreola was HBO's top rated fight of that year......................USTV hates Euros, Vitali and Vlad are the best heavyweights in the world. America worships Wilder who Vlad toyed with during sparring. Wilder would get knocked out by Vitali or Vlad, yet Americans claim Wilder is the best in the world?! Who has Wilder fought? Vitali stopped Arreola, Vlad stopped so many American fighters. It took Vitali only one round to knock Solis out with a right hook to the temple, and yes, the punch landed before Solis hurt his knee. When Solis fell from the punch he hurt his knee. Watch the video, yet watch them lie about it. Vlad has knocked Thompson out two times, Chambers, Johnson lost every round against Vitali, would not even fight back.................Jennings has no chance against Vitali or Vlad, yet American fans claim that only American fighters can fight. What a joke. Vlad drew 65,000 fans at one fight, ringside!!!!!!! Vitali has the highest KO percentage in heavyweight boxing history and Vlad is not far behind. American and UK fans claimed that Haye would easily knock Vlad out, but you saw Haye run, hold, fall down on the canvas, etc. I have seen all their fights, even watched Vlad win the gold medal back in 1996, superheavyweight division in Atlanta, GA.

Hide out in germany? What do you mean? they should hide in in america, instead? To be robbed by corrupted referees, judges and maybe even get poisoned? ...and to give away moneys on taxes.... not a big deal if you ask me.
Your double standards are funny, aren't they? Have you already started a thread about "why those damn peoples doesn't follow boxe??" You are supposed to be a boxing follower, and yet you don't know that the most famous boxers are Manny Paquiao and Floyd mayweather??.
Yes, Primo Carnera, The Ambling Mountain.... the irony, he was totally unskilled and barely able to move, and yet he has been world champion in the supposed golden era.
