    Allegedly Vitali and ATG and future HOF'er Nicolaj "The Greatest" Valuev met in St. Petersburg/Russia to personally discuss a fight during the fall of this year. I've got to say Valuev is not only taller than Vitali but he definitely has a much better, sharper style in clothing as well. No contest really!

    From the scene:

    "I offered Nikolai one and a half million American dollars for a fight. I'm not going to bargain. If he refuses this offer, I shall box against other contender - someone who is high up in the rankings. For Nikolai, motivation should be enough. In fact, he gets the opportunity to fight for the most prestigious championship belt - which was owned at one time by Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis. Regardless, there is a purse attached for an amount that he never received in the past, even when he was the champion."

    Why is Valuev paying lip service to this amateur?
    He should be carrying those bags for NV.

    Vitali is a badass even in the way he negotiates purses

    i dont know why the klits repeatedly come up with that
    Valuev vs Chagaev winning bid was somewhat over $4 million and afair 75-25 split in favor of Valuev.

    You're roughly correct. Valuev earned a reported 1.75 million EUR and Chagaev earned 550,000 EUR. Back in 2007 the EUR was trading at around 1.45+ to the Dollar.

    Valuev probably thought his whole career was going to be like andre the giant freak of nature super fights with gigantic paydays just to see him box.

    When Vitali gets this big clown in the ring, Valeuv is gonna get thrashed like he's a rented mule. I think the only variable will be not if Vitali wins, but if he can take him off his feet.

    I hope they make this fight happen. I guess even though team Valuev didn't seem to want to accept the 1.5, they must have rethought that, or else they would not be going to this meeting.


    If these two do get in the ring, that'll be the heaviest title fight in history, as well as the tallest, by quite a margin.

    Vitali is already starting his intimidation moves, I see.

    Nice.
