Well it was a debacle in the first place because Peter wanted it in Nigeria and Vitali wanted it in Germany, obviously....the verbal agreement was that whichever country was more potentially lucrative would be where the fight would take place. But a HW title fight in Nigeria is just not gonna happen, if he had petitioned for Vegas or NY he would have been less likely to get lumped with Germany.
So? Its not liek Cancun is notorius for hometown decisions, dodgy ref's and Ahmet Oner's is it. Either way it was a neutral venue, Germany aint.
I agree with you but Peter may be getting more money for this fight in Germany than in the States. It is difficult for anyone to get a decision over there. There is a lot of corruption going on as I have been watching this closely since the last 15 years and then suddenly stopped because i was too pissed. The best example is Ottke, the guy just got every close decision. That was more than questionable, it was corrupt. The promoters Sauerland and Kohl are like the fk Mafia. That being said, I do not think the scorecards will mater as they are both punchers and will go for the kill.
True, but that has nothing to do with the venue. The reason is Peter has no skills besides rabbit punches. You are aware that Vitali barely lost a round in his career, so even if he is only a shell of his former self a guy like Peter could never win a decision against him under any circumstances.
Come on, Samuel would not run a chance to win on points anyhow, even if Vitali is only a shadow of himself. NBT: you beat me on it. That is exactly what I think.
The Klitschkos are basically German fighters so they can stay there where their performances are always apreciated no matter how pathetic.
It's all about money and since the Klitschkos are like gods in Germany, they make a **** load of Euro dollars, each Euro $1 gives you more or less $1.50 US...That's why the fight is in Germany !
Amazing the excuses given here for this somehow being fair. Yes, I know it's all about the $$$, yes I know Don King is involved... BUT... again, IF,and I know that's a big IF, this goes to the cards, I can easily see Sam getting screwed if he won the fight fair and square and losing a "split decision". :-(
I will be the first one here saying "Told ya so". I will also be the first one here if Vitaly wins fair and square to give him props. That's what a GOOD fan does. :good
Boxing in general US >>> Germany but Heavyweight Boxing Germany 0wns US without a doubt - the big fights in the division are happening right before my doorstep...
Peter has no fan base. Vitali has a huge following in germany so he calls the shots cause Peter has to have fights in bull rings.
If the fight's in germany they'll get a full house of 15-25k, and around 15million TV viewers. If Peter is so confident of winning then fighting in Germany is a great idea.
It's pretty much irrelevant. The goat hearder has to knock him out anyway, like **** he's going to win rounds with those rabbit punches.
