Povetkin's promoters Sauerland Event called the bout agreement received from Klitschko a "slave contract." Povetkin's manager sent some of the details to Russian boxing journalist Alexander Pavlov. Pavlov detailed some of the items that caused friction between Sauerland and Klitschko.

1. Povetkin has to visit (maybe more than one) joint or separate press conferences, participate in press trips, interviews, open training sessions and other public events as prescribed by K2 Promotions [Klitschkos' promotional company].

2. If Povetkin does not appear on one of the press events organized by K2, K2 will fine him the amount of at least $250,000 dollars.

3. K2 refuses to pay for relocation expenses, hotel accommodations, meals and transportation to and from the fight location, etc.

4. K2 refuses to provide health insurance for the duration of the fight and commits Povetkin to bear all of the costs of all medical expenses in treating injuries that he may receive in the fight.

5. Povetkin has to use the gloves provided by K2, from the company Grant. Povetkin is not allowed to bring his own gloves even in an unopened package or use gloves by any company other than Grant.

— Kalle Sauerland of Sauerland Event told Sportal.de the contract was very unfair because K2 did not draft the agreement under the common form of a "mandatory defense" and instead plugged in their own terms as if the fight was made without a purse bid being involved.

"We will not allow Klitschko to dictate their terms to us. We understand that the contract should be signed, according to clear rules, which are drawn up with agreement based on a mandatory defense of title. Klitschko, however, completely ignored these common rules, and we received a document of 26 pages, which can only be described as a slave contract."

:deal

 

I can't remember who it was (maybe Holmes) who said something along the lines of "King was a ******* but at least you got paid well."

 

Did Vitali complain about the contract terms/amount he was paid? No, your point is mute.

 

Yes he was.

If this was the only complaint about K2 contracts then it would hold little or no water. However since I've provided numerous sources complaining about various areas of contracts from options to money I'm inclined to agree with Sauderland.

When you have lots of fighters complaining about a promotion something's wrong period.

Have you ever known another promotion with this many complaints for one weight division over 12?

Take the rose tinted glasses off for a minute eh?

 

King did rip off Tyson however even with the rip offs Tyson was probably paid more than Lewis and K2 combined. Tyson admited it himself, he's an extreemist, he either has everything or nothing.

 

Every article has a fighter complaining it's your ability to read that's in question. What aspects are you complaining about??

Secondly, you can't post b oxingscene links they come up as **** hence why I put at the bottom "replace * with the scene to view link"atsch

Thirdly you're only just asking this now thus exposing the fact you entered the thread and started debating without even reading the articles, good going.
