    The Bernd is not prsent in the previous. If he was, well obviously his entrance would match this.

    Here's a quote from another thread about the Klits blaming Haye for walking away from a fight with one of them.

    This is from about 2 or 3 years ago!

    This has been going on forever with the Klits but people don't want to acknowledge it

    Braddock got 10% of Joe Louis's fights for 10 years after he lost.

    If you want to be the unified Champion you have to beat both the Klitschko's. Isn't that the goal? Why are you people complaining about this? :huh

    Would you rather go back to the Days of Don King having all 4 beltholders and never allowing them to face each other? :lol::rofl:patsch

    Remember those epic PPV's with Ruiz, Byrd, Brewster, and Rahman all fighting shitty opponents? :rofl

    Why would you NOT want to fight the other brother if you eat one of them? I can tell some of you never studied Business or set foot in a higher education classroom I don't even have the time to go over some of the idiotic things posted on here. If you hate the Klitschko's just say it instead of embarrassing yourself about contracts.

    If you want to hear some BS read how Haye and Booth treated Monte Barrett with all the stipulations. That's OK I guess right?

    If a fighter beats Vitali, we would all want him to fight Wlad. That isn't the issue.

    The issue is that they're being offered criminal contracts. A fighter shouldn't be forced into a deal to fight both brothers, in a deal which makes it impossible for them to make substantial money. If a fighter beats Vitali, he should get 50/50 against Wlad and have the right to negotiate a venue, date etc.. It shouldn't all be on Klitschko terms.

    A fighter could beat Vitali twice, beat Wlad and not make close to a million dollars. Is that fair? Of course not.

    Common misconception. Braddock was due 10% of Mike Jacobs' net profits from heavyweight title promotions over the next 10 years. Still a great deal (not withstanding that he had to sue Jacobs for it), but nowhere near what legend makes it out to be.

    That may or may not be technically accurate, but it's extremely unlikely to happen. If you look at the purses most fighters get against Wlad or Vitali x 3, the total is in excess of a million.

    And, are there really any other fighters besides the Klitschkos that a fighter could face and in three fights make $1million+?? Maybe Haye, but that's it.

    Well, you haven't answered me. In fact, over the course of this thread you haven't addressed the newspaper's claim at all.

    Brittards are bitching about the Klitschko's imposing large fines for the opponent not showing up to a PRESS CONFERENCE? Do you guys realize how ridiculous you sound?

    We are talking about professional athletes who train all their lives for a fight of the magnitude that a Klitschko brings. If they are too stupid/lazy to not show up to a PRESS CONFERENCE that is ESSENTIAL in promoting a fight, knowing they will be fined, it's their fault. Fines for not showing up to a press conference are the norm in boxing, and for good reason. The larger fine was likely added to contracts due to all the bull**** that went on with Povetkin and Haye.

    Brittards are bitching about terms for VOLUNTARY defenses because their hero Haye got them all riled up. This whole thread is ridiculous.
