Yeah he made a toatal fool outta himsen i was majorly dissapointed he was one of the two guys to go the ditance with VK
I would have liked to see Valuev and Klitchko just to see how Valuev does against another big guy, who is actually smaller than him. Rather how would Klitchko do against Valuev.
Vitali tried to get a fight with Valouev while Valouev had the title, but is not interested in him without a title.
That offer is a joke and Klit's know it, the fight would be massive in Europe, the biggest fight of all time in Europe, it would sell out a soccer stadium and do over 10 million views in germany alone, not alone the money would make from other counties in europe and USA TV money, it would be a 30 million dollar fight and they offer Valuev 1 million, this a joke at best and in boxing talk this offer was true means the older kilt brother doesn't won't the fight.
Klitchkos has habit of offering shitty deals to their opponents. Greedy *******s. Not to say that I wouldn’t do the same thing, if I was in their position.
Yeah how many times have they had negotiations fall through or fights called off because of "shitty deals"? I can think of only 2, and both involve Doivit Hoi. If you know of others and can back that up with sources, please enlighten me. When Doivit pulled out, what did Wlad do? He went out and got the Ring Mag #3 fighter Chagaev on 2 weeks notice. I remember Chagaev's team remarking that the terms were extremely fair and the agreement came together quite easily. Also the Klitschko's have donated more money and efforts to charities than probably any other boxers all time. They are not greedy at all. They are smart fighters and promoters.
In this specific case though, $1 million is a bit of a rip off to be fair. Klitschko-Valuev will make big money
Negotiations don’t have to fall trough to prove that Klitchkos offer shitty deals. Opponents get 1 million and they get something like 10 sounds like low balling to me. (At least in Thompson fight Wlad made 10 millions) Offering Valuev same one million they offered nobody Johnson sounds like a joke deal. Probably any other? Enlighten me how much exactly they have donated to charity? And which Brother has donated more Wlad or Vitaly?
So what you're saying is you have no proof to back up your claim and you're talking out your ass. There's no substantiated source saying Vitali offered Valuev 1 mil for the fight. The thread starter quoted his "local paper".....whatever that is. I've seen an interview (on the ***SCENE I believe it is) on Jan 13 of Valuev's manager, who said Vitali offered Valuev a 70/30 split and that was acceptable for them. If the fight brings 10 mil, then Valuev would get 3 mil.....quite a bit more than 1 million and not to bad for a guy with no belt around his waist. Take that as you wish. Since you seem to be unfamiliar, the Klitschko's often donate and participate in charity ventures together. They both went to Naimibia to visit children and donated money to build schools there. After the Brock fight in MSG, Wlad donated around 250k for kids in the Bronx. They also donate quite a lot of money ( I don't keep a running total) in Germany and Ukraine and work to develop sports programs for kids there as well. They do a lot to give back to the community from which they came.
Yes for the WBO its 75/25 if fighting in the champions "home country" which Wlad was otherwise its 80/20. From what I know, Wlad made around 8mil euros for the Thompson fight, so Tony got more than 1 mil.
Ok. So you just made up the part, that they have donated more than any other boxers all time. Almost every star caliber athlete or actor gives back to charities because its good PR and they get Tax reliefs. Nothing ground breaking there.
