    Not sure why go the wbc route. Less money and a 4th place green belt and still be rated below povetkin and possibly pulev even if he wins. The wlad fight is for all the marbles.....and more cash.

    :huh What are you talking about?

    ...or are you just referencing Klitschko vs. Ibragimov being awful?

    Jennings is one of the most arrogant boxers in history of this sport. He literally thinks he is a boxing god. Hope Wlad destroys him as soon as possible.

    Wlad will get knocked out if they meet in the ring.

    Jennings is already showing signs that he wants no part of Wlad. Anyone with half a brain should know this fight is not happening, at least not next.

    MSG is a venue, not a person. If you are referring to a quote by a then-exec at MSG (source?) - well, execs come and go. Besides, even if there are the exact same decision makers in place, that was six years ago. Money talks. Klitschko vs. Povetkin and Klitschko vs. Pulev were on HBO in the daytime and the numbers were impressive, considering.

    Its probably forgotten about now.

    But look up what GB and Schafer said about K2 about a possibility of Wlad fighting at Barkleys a few years ago.

    K2 wanted to promote the whole show themselves. In America.

    Having a fair ref actually makes it interesting. Cant see hbo or the wbc allow Wlad foul the homeboy to death.
    Plus it will be very hard to work with Bounter.

    They should put Briggs vs Mansour as an undercard.
    These guys need each other

    I agree. Jennings vs the winner of Stiverne-Wilder would make for a nice fight but a fight with Wlad is the big one.

    If Jennings passes on a fight with Wlad he may never have the chance again. Wlad won't be around forver and there's a new generation of heavies getting in line for their shot at him.

    He'd still get a shot at him --plus a much better contract-- in the event that he captures the WBC "title" from the Stiverne-Wilder winner. Wladimir wouldn't turn down a unification fight.

    HBO should give Fury the $ offer. Much more entertaining and probably more competitive fight.
