    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    WTF!?!?!?! Wlad was on HBO you moron. He got banned because he himself was a terrible fighter that bored the **** out of boxing fans. Straight up fact.

    ESB is the only place I've seen people say that, and there aren't that many of them. The same old vocal minority. The real world is a very lonely place for non-German Klit-lickers.

    All bollocks, I get tired of this. I wonder if I'd let the fight happen and not watch it live... just for the ****s to feel how it is to fail 2 damn years coz they greedy mofos. All the ****ing TV and business killed this sport, ****ing ****. When Wlad fights this bum Chisora I won't even watch it as revision, it's pathetic.

    He got kicked off HBO because there is no fighter at the weight can even make Wlad or Vitali break a sweat

    Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Lewis, Louis all dominated opponents with ease and they were not called boring even though they too had some boring fights and some poor opponents

    I think Wlad is held under higher scrutiny then most fighters

    Vitali destroys Areolla hardly losing a round batters him and they show Areolla on HBO

    He took apart an unwilling to even fight back Kevin Johnson but thasts his fault?

    Put Vitali in there with tough opponets like Lewis and Sanders and he'll put on a show

    The Klits have nobody capable of even winning a round

    Since leaving prison, *everyone* Tyson fought not named Holyfield or Lewis was a BUM.

    Yet Tyson's ratings were off the charts.

    Wlad IS the problem...

    Wlad did that once in his entire career and it was with David Haye's name on the tickets. His numbers fell massively after that to the point where he's back fighting Chisora in a 20k or so arena that won't be sold-out. He also has the lowest ticket prices in modern history.

    Without the Klits we'd at least have competitive fights. They consistently refuse to fight the next best guy in the division. Wlad has beaten who exactly to prove he is the best at HW? He had a chance to do that against Haye but he shamelessly ducked him.

    Again? Who has Wlad fought that is that much better than Haye's ****-poor opposition. The only way either man can have a career defining fight at HW is if they fight eachother..... but Wlad's too much of a coward and a fraud to take the fight.

    Well why hasn't your boy Haye been a single time on American television? Isn't he this exciting beast who's pleasant to every eye pair on fight business? Why do they consider him on HBO only with Adamek or a Klitschko? Does his fights even get shown besides from GB, Ireland and Germany?

    Dont compare Tyson and Wlad

    Tyson was god like in the 80's and thats why even well past his prime and well off his game agaisnt terrible opponents ppl still wanted to see him

    Wlad never held that distinction

    You are not making any sense. The fight will be in Germany so K2 will do the majority of the promotion. Sky and RTL are not complaining so that destroys your "logistics" argument. Besides, didn't Sky say that they did not want to promote the fight in April because it would drown in Royal Wedding news?

    As far as "physically possible", the last time around it was Haye who pulled out of the fight with a fake back injury. Even if they sign now it is not done until they both step into the ring. Haye should just man up and sign the deal and work toward making it happen.

    You mean he is filling up 20K arena fighting someone who is considered as tune up?

    How much seats were taken during the last Haye-Harrison fight and why Sky
    TV prefers to see Khan fighting his unknown tune up instead Haye fighting unification fight?

    Untrue. It is no secret that the Ibragimov fight was the final nail in his boring coffin. Wlad knows a Haye fight will get him back on HBO but he's too scared of getting brutally KO'd for the 4th time.

    Vitali is a much better and more exciting fighter than Wlad. He has much less ability than in his prime but he still goes to war. Don't lump him in with his much less talented and completely heartless brother.

    In Germany.

    Who the **** cares about German housewives??? Since when does the German market compare to the UK and the US fight audience? In the UK, David Haye got more PPV figures against Enzo Macc, John Ruiz and Nicolay Valuev than any of Wlad's fights, ever. In the USA, Wladimir Klitschko stunk up HBO they won't even televise his fights anymore! No-one in the USA gives a **** about him anymore, he had his chance but he's a personality-free zone. A total charisma bypass, with a boring style and who only fights **** opposition.

    So Klitschko is a big draw in one country, and totally ignored and laughed at in the no.1 and no.2 boxing countries in the world USA and UK. Infact, thinking about it, the Phillipines probably has a bigger boxing audience than Germany these days, and German fights are without doubt the most boring in Europe, with shitty referee's (remeber Robin Reid??) and silent crowds.

    Absolutely spot on. How people can't see this is astounding to me. It really is a pathetic attempt at some sort of "payback" for previous insults by Haye. Haye and Booth are doing the right thing at the moment by calling K2's bluff cause we all know how much Wlad likes the money. Booths talking about Chagaev in the UK soon.

    Haye sold out a 20k arena at much higher ticket prices well in advance against a bum. Wlad didn't even sell-out against CHisora. What is your point?

    How many world titles had Wlad won after 23 fights? There's an awful lot of shitty eurobums on Wlad's record and you know it....
