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

I would get the link showing you where Rappaport called off the Vitlay fight but I'm busy right now.

If it doesn't show up in 20-30 minutes I'll dig it up, but it is out there for those who aren't lazy.

 

And here it is.

In that article Rappaport explains how a Maskaev-Klitschko contract was set in place, but Klitschko wouldn't sign it. Peter had agreed to take 2.75 million step aside money.

Vitlay Klitschko said he needed more time, and Rappaport had had enough.

I think it´s sick how alphabet oranizations will set their rules, only to break them at will. The rule is 70 or 75 % for the champion in a mandatory defense, so there is no way the WBC should allow anything else.

 

:yikes :huh

 

And what's this supposed to tell me? All's this tells me is that everything was set until Sam Peter decided NOT to take a side-step.

I mean, no matter how many times you try and twist and turn this arguement around on Maskaev, there's always going to be many other factors, and many other people to blame for the constant postponement of the fight. And whether you want to believe it or not, Peter played just as much of a factor in the constant bull-**** that's been surrounding the WBC. He could've easily said " **** you, I want my title shot now ", but much like any other normal human being the matter of money made him just a tad bit interested in hearing what Vitali had to offer.

 

What ever the going rate for a champion/challenger split is, they should take.

Peter is the challenger.

Replace him if he doesnt like the money.
