Did Wlad duck Tua?

Nobody wants to answer the question?

I thought not.

Keep denying that the Klitschko's have done something wrong. I shouldn't care.

 

:happy:happy:happyGood post!:good

 

wlad didnt but adamek did, he wants nothing to do with tua, never did, never will.

 

At the time of the offer, Tua was actually very popular again. In fact, every time he fights, people get excited about it because he's such a good puncher.

I don't think he'd have won, nor do I think he was a great opponent. He wasn't. The fact is though, it's a fight fans would have liked to have seen and still a dangerous opponent. He deserved more than what he was offered.

I've asked you this before and I'll ask again. Did Sosnowski deserve twice as much as Tua? Yes or no.

 

They offered him peanuts if I remember correctly.

 

Why do you keep doing that? Are you 8?

 

So Tua just decides that he needs to fight King to test his shoulder, fight again in June against Barrett, Holy, or someone else for the money (over $400,000), and then fight for the right to be a mandatory and make a couple of million. Why is that not a good strategy?

BTW, Wlad didn't duck Tua. He would have fought Tua for $400,000. But Tua said no to the money. Happens all the time. Course, don't know why Wlad is being so cheap with his opponents, especially when he would have made $5 million. So Wlad gets 90%. Tua gets 10%. Not a good deal by Tua's calculations.

 

That's exactly right.

It's not a duck but it's an impossible offer, especially when you can make more fighting regional level fighters like Shane Cameron.

 

It's low balling. "Offering" a contract you know your opponent will never in a million years accept. That's a duck.

 

Tua got offered exactly what he was worth. Sosnowski got paid a bit more than he was worth.

I don't know why the Klit's were extra generous with Sosnowski. I think they occasionally do like to be extra generous. Like Wlad offering Chisora a payday that is around 10 times what he is worth.

However, this comes down to market forces. Chisora is a strategic fight I believe, designed to expose Wlad to the British market. Therefore, while Chisora is not worth anything like the payday he will get, it is worth it to Wlad.
Likewise with Sosnowski.
Tua? Worth around $400K, and not really anything more.

 

nope he wasn't given a chance to duck but the question is if Tua is any better then Wlad's current opposition probably a little better but against Barrett he looked horrible so we're not sure considering how inconsistent Tua is

 

It just eats the Klitschko haters up that Wald makes million's of dollors every fight and gets all the ***** he wants from smokeing hot women..
