Do you blame Maskaev for wanting the typical 75%-25% split?

    Nobody's giving him credit for the KO. He's been on American TV more recently, he's been hyped by all the publications more, and Maskaev spent years as an anonymous journeyman, and in the wake of his one big win, he's fought a cupcake in a boring fight that nobody watched and sat around with a thumb up his ass for a year. I didn't say he was the better boxer, I said he is the bigger NAME. He's more marketable than Maskaev.

    I also did not see a shred of evidence to refute the suggestion that the standard split is not 75/25. Of course Maskaev should get the lion's share, but 75/25 seems extreme to me.

    Nope. He is getting screwed. I would drop the WBC and try and fight Wlad for the Ring Magazine Belt.

    As I mentioned in previous post Maskaev and his team are idiots. They should have taken the unification fight with Vladimir and cashed out then. But no, the got greedy and the went for Okhello first with the hope to milk that cahmp "cow" as much as possible and now they are paying for it. That being said, Maskaev deserves the customary split which is to the best of my knoweldge is 70/30 and if he does not get it he needs to sue that sorry ass scheme named WBC.

    Dino Duva and Don King are the biggest scumbags in boxing today. DKP, Duva productions and Maskaevs promoters Rappaport all bid to host the fight. Dino Duva came in first, DKP second and Rappaport third. Dino defaulted on his bid, and since DKP and Dino both have rights on peter, donk kings bid didnt count and Rappaport was supose to host the fight. But the WBC granted it to Don king. Thats why the fights not being made. An interviewer on Btalk asked Dino this and Dino changed the subject, completley dodging the question.

    What explanation do you need . . . it's right there in your choices. :roll:

    He's the champ and he deserves it just like any other champ.

    What percentage due you personally feel is proper? 65-35% sounds fair & reasonable doesn't it?

    DKP doesn't have rights on Peter, just Don King himself owns half of Duva Productions. That's where the dispute is, and that's very much in the gray area.

    That's all I'm saying. Maskaev should be forced to defend against Samuel Peter for better than a near 50% split.

    Yeah buddy . . . should be forced to defend his title "inside the rules" that the boxing body themselves made. :yep The rule says 75%/25% for the champ so they cannot force the title holder to accept payment less than that or otherwise if the challenger refused the same arrangement then he should lose his mandatory challenger status. :D

    Isn't that logical?

    Logic is a prohibited term by the abc scams and promoters.

    Am I wrong here? :huh

    I'm pretty sure that when a puse goes to arbitration the defending Champion, who has the belt the line & therefore his earning potential, gets a 75-25% split of the proceeds.

    That's standard isn't it? Unless 1 of the fighters is named Tyson or something anyway.....................
