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

No I don't blame him for wanting what every other champion gets which is the 75%/25% split.. He fought better competition and has the belt and beat the better competition.. Peter hasnt really beat anyone other then a fat and out of shape James Toney. I'd do the same if i was in his position.

 

If his handlers feel is so great & he 's gonna win anyway why doesn't he just take the shot & earn the next big payday rights?

 

Of course he deserves it. Unfortunately, Maskaev never cared about the business side of boxing and he's always had problems with managers/promoters throughout his career. Rappaport is an idiot and Don King is sneaky as hell so that's why this is such a mess.

 

Greed

 

When you become the mandatory challenger the split is different from a voluntary defence(traditional).

 

:good I think anyone would agree that Maskaev deserves what is rightfully his.

Good to see he and Rappaport have the balls to stand up for what's right.

 

:good

 

You are absolutely right. :yep :good

So as I was saying Masky deserves it.

 

:good Good point and I agree.

If they are so confident in Peter's winning, why not accept the fair and usual split, and realize that they'll make alot more, ten fold, when they win the title that Peter supposedly has in the bag?

Their actions don't correlate with their statement on their supposed confidence in Peter. That Iglosov dude has said that Peter would certainly win the fight, so then if that's the case, why demand an unfair purse split, instead of taking a fair split, winning the title, and then going on to make much more with it in the future?

:blood Peter's crew is one bunch that the sport could do without. That whole crew needs to be ejected.

 

Maskaev deserves 75-25.

 

:good

 

Mask has screwed around long enough...this fight should have happened months ago. The last thing I would want was someone screwing with my title shot, making me fight double eliminators, the paper champ trying to make other fights, bullshiting for 6 months, trying everything possible to avoid the fight...then commanding 75% when your not even a draw because you feel you are entitled to it? That's the point when put your foot down and say cut the bull****...It is not going down that way...Anyone who can't understand that must have a distorded thought process. It's pretty clear to see who is scared shitless. Who knows an ass beating will be in the next fight even if he could get out of fighting his mandatory. His brain is focused on milking his ass beating for all its worth cause this it. After this next fight Mask is going to disappear like a fart in the wind.:good

 

hell na I don't blame him he should get the majority cause he's going or would have taken a beaten even if he won... i.e. klitschko?????:!:

 

Maskaev has screwed around how so? How's he screwing around with Peter's title shot? All's he has to do is meet Maskaev's FAIR demands and the title shot is his. The Peter camp hasn't stopped bitching since the moment that they came into the title picture. They bitched when they had to give Toney a rematch, they bitched when Vitali came back into the picture, and through it all Peter is finally getting a chance at the title, and what's his camp doing? They're STILL bitching, only this time it's because they're unhappy with the standard split which a challenger usually gets when face the champion. Perhaps they'll feel better if Maskaev handed Peter the belt on a silver platter.

 

Maskaev should get 80-20 split!!
