K2 and the contracts offered to various fighters......

And what about Valuev's brother/sister/grandmother?

Did they pass up on their opportunity too?

 

Ive heard many times they are hard to work with but unless we get to see the money offered we cant really say how fair or unfair the contracts are.Heavyweights have always been overpaid and I think some of them need to realise that due to the current weak division the money is not what it once was.People just are not willing to fork out a fortune to watch the current crop of heavy`s

 

the bit i don't understand about the rematch clause is why they get the other brother involved. sure, if you are defending your belt then sure put a rematch clause in. but not for another boxer.

the fact that they are brothers is irrelevant. what would you all have said if Amir Khan had said to Maidana; "If you beat me, then you have to fight Bradley then Amir again." Its exactly the same. its stupid.

of course, if you become the champ then you will want to fight for the other belts, but at your own pace. you might want to fight a mandatory first, or a voluntary defence. slave contracts really sums it up.

 

rematch causes againt the brother are unreasonable.

 

Haye's a f*cking *****.

Just messing. I'll give those links a read when I get the chance.

 

This is a privilege that you have when you own a promotion company, and world champion.. You call the shots and how much your opponent gets paid

 

So you aren't going to put things into context?

That's cool. That implies that context would ruin your point.

I think anyone who is willing to look at it rationally would say that the Klits are far from the worst promoters out there.

Now, what about the elephant in the room? All you have to do is beat them to become the champ who dictates the terms. Two fights, or three fights and unifying. Should be easy, right?

Reading quotes like you present just looks like sour grapes. Guys who couldn't establish themselves at the top and are bitter about it.

Then we have people bitching and moaning about what could possibly happen if someone beats one of the Klits. How about focussing on that first? How about beating one, rather than bitching about what happens when you do?

Like I said, people are moaning like Chisora has been forced to fight three times. He hasn't. What do you think the odds are of him beating Wlad not once, but twice? Maybe 1 in 1000?

When you put the actual probability of the clause being enacted into the conversation - or as some people refuse to do - put things into context? Then it is laughable.
The fact that people try to blow it out of proportion in order to attack the Klits (Tall Poppy Syndrome, see link provided) is just kinda sad.

Before replying, please add what you realistically think the odds of Chisora beating Wlad twice are. And how this probability affects the implications of the clause.

 

Nah, easier to get unearned title shots then ***** about getting ten times what you deserve.

Much harder to become the actual top dog.

 

Boxingfan1 is really ******ed to say the least. Lesson here moron. Most of those fighters haven't really proving they are very good in the heavyweight division lol. Lewis is the only one that is proving he's a legend. If all this stuff about slave excuse contracts then fighters like Barrett, Sanders, Peter, Williams, Johnson, Hide, Donald, Chambers, Rahman and way way way way more fighters that both Klits face wouldn't even face them but i guess they didn't think it was a slave contracts. Sure Bryd did but what has he done before he fought Vitali? If i read right didn't Lewis said that Klits former promoter lied to them? How come Brewster didn't fought Vitali after he ko Wlad? hmmmm weird.

 

Of course they would face them. The Klitschko's hold all but one world title so if a guy wants to be world champion, he probably has to fight either brother, meaning they can offer whatever they want. The opposition is backed into a corner. Either they boycott the titles or they accept unfair money.

Anyway, this is a great post and highlights a genuine issue. The titles are being held ransom.

BoxingFan, Briggs was always very critical of the contracts offered whilst champion too.
