    LOL at this comment. Money is not an issue for him and his family.:patsch
    The best thing for kids is if their father is being a father to them with them not in another country.

    Sandman is delusional if he thinks it's about money.

    he said. "I have people behind me like my father, who will kick my arse all the time to make sure I will train very hard all the time, and I am happy with this, I expect this.

    this is what he says at the end of the article , yet he is leaving for russiato train boxers? when he could be doing this for his sons, i just cant understand , his sons both box , both are good at it , and both are HIS SONS, ???????????????????????????

    Well it is our business now, didn't you see that it was printed in a very popular Sunday newspaper........ obviously with his wife and kids approval :huh

    You yourself are passing judgement on others who are merely discussing a news article that went public across the country.

    ESB Aussie members accept your apology

    Does Tszyu still have that ridiculous ponytail at the back of his head that you see 5 yr old boys have.

    i don't see the huge deal, every family dynamic is different and as has already been stated there doesn't seem to be any bitterness from this side of the pond about the situation, maybe the relationship works better seeing each other at intervals rather than 24/7. Although i do know most of the people on here have no skeletons in their closet and no secrets to hide, perfection is commonplace around these parts right guys

    I never insinuated anything about him giving his kids the brush

    The question is, does he live here earning a modest income like most of us (while living off millions of investments which very few have), or does he live in a country where the conditions are much worse for everyone else, but he may have greater benefits in terms of money and fame.

    Given his kids grew up here, they're settled and it's all they know, I reckon it's a no brainer.

    What no ones mentioned yet is that this is very consistent with Kostya's
    personality he demonstrated in the ring, which also came across in his book.

    He's focused, extremely dedicated and will not compromise.
    These attributes made him a great champion but aren't so great for being a Dad or Husband.

    Let's stop all this "sitting on his ass" crap too.
    While he may not box anymore, he's more than capable of working many jobs, just because he was rich once (and likely still is) it doesn't give him a free ticket to not work if he has obligations.
