Wow major news... I wonder if punkweather had the WBA if you would still regard that belt worthless ??? :huh N.Y.C. M.R. :rasta :rasta :rasta
Big-REG is that you??? You are my son... You know who this is right??? your Father. Lets just say I was put on the shelf 4 a while...... peace - out dog... STAY-UP..............N.Y.C. M.R.
But it only applies when the guy that your backing loses right?? Dude get real. We all know King is a crook, and Wlad has never lost a fair fight. He was drugged and the FBI was going to investigate:yep That crap is a joke....No one here thinks that this stuff is real....We all knew that Floyd was going to win, despite being 2 feet shorter and 300 pounds lighter. You not telling us ground breaking new here. Sad that your hatered is so strong that you cant even take this for what it is...ENTERTAINMENT....HOWEVER it has some value for Floyd and boxing. What so many people like you dont understand is that Vince McMahon is a GENUIS when it comes to PPV. He does it better then anyone eles in the history of the World. If Floyd can get 10% of those people to tap into boxing, or even just his next fight it would be HUGE..WWE averages 500,000 buys for there ppv and they have one every month. Its nothing for thier big ones to due close to 2 million buys. Boxing PPV's cant match that Settle down you not the smartest guy in the room and your not telling ANYONE something that they dont already know. Hell my 8 year old knows that WWE isnt real.
Why is he lying about his income though? "[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Floyd allegedly was paid $20,000,000 for participating in this pay-per-view exhibition, although some insiders estimate the actual number to be as low as $2 million plus incentives." Same thing with Baldomir, he claimed to have gotten 8 mil when he only got 3.5. [/FONT]
In sum, the events that transpired at the actual bout also raise serious concerns about whether Mr. Klitschko’s performance was impeded by some hidden substance. THE FRUSTRATION OF MR. KLITSCHKO’S EFFORTS TO LEARN THE TRUTH Following the bout, Mr. Klitschko expressed his strong view that he had been poisoned or drugged, or that he had some undetected medical condition. Mr. Klitschko’s team concurred in that assessment based upon Mr. Klitschko’s performance. At that time, no one on Mr. Klitschko’s team knew about the changes in the betting line. Out of concern for Mr. Klitschko, he was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (“UMC” after the bout. At that time, blood and urine samples were taken from Mr. Klitschko. On April 11, the next day, in order to ensure that he would have an opportunity to ascertain the truth, Mr. Klitschko arranged for additional blood and urine samples to be taken at Quest Diagnostics (“Quest’. Mr. Klitschko’s team made it emphatically clear that they wanted the blood and urine specimens preserved so that they could be tested by an independent doctor of Mr. Klitschko’s choosing. On April 14, 2004, both UMC and Quest were sent appropriate medical authorizations, signed by Mr. Klitschko, requesting that his medical records, including his blood and urine specimens, be sent to noted physician, Dr. Robert Voy. Dr. Voy is a former physician for the Nevada State Athletic Commission and the former President of USA Boxing, the body that governs amateur and Olympic boxing in the United States. Further, over the next ten days, representatives of Mr. Klitschko left numerous messages at Quest and UMC reinforcing the requests for the blood and urine specimens. Significantly, on information and belief, Quest has a policy of retaining blood and urine specimens for seven (7) days after testing, and UMC has a policy of retaining blood specimens for ten (10) days after testing. Hence, according to Quest and UMC policies, all of the blood and urine samples were in existence on April 14, when Quest and UMC received the medical authorization forms signed by Mr. Klitschko. Similarly, according to those same policies, the blood and urine should have been retained by Quest until April 18, and the blood should have been retained by UMC until April 20. As noted, during the period between April 14 and April 20, there were numerous communications between Mr. Klitschko’s representatives and both Quest and UMC requesting that the blood and urine specimens be preserved and sent to Dr. Voy. Incredibly, though, all of the specimens, with the exception of one milliliter of urine (too small an amount to permit meaningful testing), had been destroyed by UMC and Quest. To date, no rational explanation has been presented for this failure to deliver the specimens which UMC and Quest had in their possession at the time Mr. Klitschko requested that they be transferred to Dr. Voy. Of course, there are a number of possible explanations, some innocent, for what occurred. However, one of those possible explanations - and an eminently reasonable one - is that those specimens were destroyed in order to hide the truth of what happened to Mr. Klitschko. In this regard, we also note that, on April 26, 2004, Mr. Klitschko was given a complete physical examination by Dr. Stuart Friedman of Los Angeles, who is associated with Cedar Sinai Hospital. Mr. Klitschko was found to be in perfect health. Hence, if there was something physically wrong with Mr. Klitschko on April 10, it was not caused by any chronic condition. CONCLUSION I recognize that the issues raised here involve very serious implicit allegations. But they are allegations which, I respectfully submit, need to be investigated in order to protect the integrity of a sport that Mr. Klitschko and I love, and which is so commercially important to the State of Nevada. Something just does not smell right here, and the truth needs to come out. Respectfully yours, Judd Berstein
Incentives are were you make the vast amount of the money in ppv...A percentage of the PPV...A percentage of the gate...IE floyd signed to fight Oscar for 10 mill, but he ended up with 25 mill. Now im not saying that floyd is going to make anywere near 20 mill for this.....However 2 mill for a staged tussle..Are you fukking kidding me..PS you have no clue what floyd made vs Baldo...I just love the way sooo many guys act like they are sitting in on the fight signing or with the fighter when he breaks the check at the bank.
Vlad is just fighting on and cleaning out the heavyweight division. However, he almost died because of being drugged that night. Coverup was sad. MRI showed no concussion. Doctors were concerned about a diabetic coma. I wish the truth would come out, too late for Vlad, but it could protect future fighters. Mark Ratner announced his retirement that night. All this info should be heard, but US Boxing media covered it up, except for a few who told the truth. It was a sad day for the ethics of boxing.
