    Go back and read my post Anstu. I didn't make anything up, unlike you. I said "the Klitschko's have donated more money and efforts to charities than probably any other boxers all time".

    It wasn't an absolute statement. :patsch

    Again, if you can enlighten me otherwise, please do so.....but I'm doubting it since you haven't done so thus far. What has Floyd Mayweather, David Haye, James Toney, Nico Valuev, Mike Tyson, or 90% of other boxers out there done to give back as much as the Klitschkos have, if not more?

    ...I hear Tyson once "donated" his foot up a homeless guy's ass.

    Edit: Reporter. Sorry. It was a shabbily dressed reporter, not a homeless guy.

    Pretty sure that would qualify as a "shitty deal" for the reporter, but hell he might've gotten paid something out of it.

    Not really. Tyson did offer to "Eat your children and thomp on their thethicles." but the guy turned the offer down.

    It’s hard to enlighten you otherwise since you didn’t mention how much they have donated.

    You just told that you are pretty sure it’s very much, so they must be most charitable boxers in the world.

    It's also hard to enlighten me when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

    I did mention by example how much they donated, again go back and read.

    I've pretty much established they aren't so greedy as you might think. You've pretty much established that you're unable to reasonably counter my points. It's ok, you win some, you lose some....just move on.

    So it's James Toney, who complained about Klitschko's proposals, David Haye and now Valuev. I don't remember exactly but negotiations with Lamon Brewster were also difficult first so Wlad fought Chris Byrd instead. And the fact that Klitschko-Ruiz never happened tells us that they were never close to an agreement. Or even worse: Klitschkos ignored him although Ruiz called Vitali out.
    And those guys (Klitschkos) say they are interested in their legacy?

    So they ignored John 'the Boring Man' Ruiz... Wouldn't you? What's that guy doing in the WBA rankings anyway? He only can stink out the place (what's bad for you legacy) and doesn't have a chance anyway! :-(

    He counted every penny in the ring. At one point I though I even caught a glimpse of the cheque tucked in his shorts.

    If Valuev still had the true WBA belt maybe 3 million would be fair. Even before he lost the belt to Haye he really wasn't the WBA Champion regardless of what the WBA said. The real WBA Champion was Ruslan Chagaev because he beat Valuev. In case you weren't aware, Wladimir TKO'd Chagaev.......................:D

    I believe it's more like 75-25% with the Champion taking the 3/4's of course. Maybe it's 70-30%.................

    1 million is not very much IMO!
