King won't allow Stiverne to fight Wlad without getting options on Wlad -- which is obviously unacceptable to K2. So Wlad will most likely fight Pulev.
King can't dictate what a Mandatory will make. If he wanted 2 mil to fight Vitali he needed to make an 8 mil purse bid for the fight then Stiverne could have had his 2 mil. It isn't up to K2 to give Stiverne 2 mil that is up to his promoter to win the purse bid. :rofl
Wlad ins't his mando. You missread. King can demand whatever he wants from K2 and its up to them if they want to pay it. But they will also have to pay Wilder his 10 million step aside money as he is the mandatory challenger.
No I didn't misread. He was talking about a Vitali-Stiverne in his post then a Wlad-Stiverne fight. If Don King wanted his fighter to make 2 mil against Vitali then it was his responsibility to win the purse bid so his fighters split would be 2 mil. It isn't K2's job to just pay Stiverne 2 mil because that is what Don King wanted for a potential Vitali fight. Do you understand this? That is why we have purse bids for when the 2 sides can't agree to terms for Mandatory fights which Stiverne was Vitali's mandatory. I am well aware Wlad is and will never be a WBC Mandatory.
Pulev is the mandatory, Wlad doesn't have to "give" him a shot On a side note, why exactly do you give a **** about Pulev anyway? Not like he has a shot at winning.....
Stervine - Vitali is yesterdays news. We're talking Stervine - Wlad here. Keep yourself up to date yeah. Pulev has a very real chance of winning. Why do you think he's being avoided. Wlad beats Lapai and you think he's unbeatable?atsch
