    There is a similar discussion going on in another thread. I think the bottom line is that there is no tangible excitement regarding the contenders. If the K bros are drawing the money, why should they fork it over...As to the gloves and various other criteria, I agree with you that is petty. I can't see a good reason for it other than their own sponsorship

    The Golden Rule- he who has the Gold Card makes the rules

    these guys bring zip to the table and are mostly getting their biggest checks

    these fighters dont wanna have to fight Wlad unless its for their early retirement check

    Povetkin was about ducking. Simple as that. He was going to get the highest payday of his career and he starts bitching about gloves? Are you ****ing kidding me? He wanted out, so he just made up a bull**** excuse. Simple as that.

    You really are stupid. Adamek in 2010 didn't deserve a shot. Thats why he got a low offer. In 2011 he deserved it and got a great deal. What does this say about the slave contracts?

    You're just a hater. An ignorant britard who would believe anything to just diss on the Klitschkos.

    Klitschkos are like everyone else in boxing. If you dont deserve a shot you, you wont get a good deal. Thats business. Whats so hard to understand here. When guys become mandotaries then they get a full 27 or whatever the purse rules are, when they show that they deserve a shot like Adamek, Klitschko peaks him for a voluntary defense and pays him good.

    Once they ran out of opponents they eventually have to offer fights to undeserved opponents like Mormeck, Fury, Tua. But they dont have to pay them what they pay the rest who deserved it.

    People seem to miss this obvious logic.

    This

    You forgot Valuev aswell, similar duck job as Povetkin, he was offered 3 million wasn't he?

    And that fat unfit piece of **** Solis got paid 1.8 million, what the hell was he complaining about, when did he ever desereve that kind of money? Same goes for Tua, that fat **** had done nothing for 10 years, and didn't deserve a shot. He should've taken what he was offered. He'll never get another title shot now. Most of the guys on that list didn't deserve a shot and should've taken what was offered for the chance. K Bros are the the attractions, the ones selling out stadiums, bringing in sponsors, all of the money.

    The simple point of the matter is if you bring something to the table (a major belt or big TV money or both) then the K brothers can and do pay well. If you're mandatory then at least you get the minimum cut (25-35% depending on sanctioning body).

    If you're a nobody or a have-been, you have no belt and all you want is a voluntary chance to win the title and an easy pay-day then you get jack****. You bring nothing to the table you get nothing. Simples.

    It's like in the real world. If you're a homeless highschool-dropout you can't go asking around for a $250k annual salary job without getting laughed at :deal

    BS on Lewis. Lewis had a 15-18 million dollar offer to take the re-match, He balked, and ran away from it:deal


    Just because you can post something on the web does not make it true. The only real way to tell is to look at the entire contract, which you did not produce.:deal


    Fighters should be thankful they are getting a big pay day to fight for the titles. All they have to do is win, then they can fight even worse opposition and milk the belt the way Povetkin is now, or Valuev did then.
    I think Wlad and Vitali combined have won something like 25 matches in a row! It must be a tough time to be hater...
