    Makes too much sense.

    They'd rather have a lot from a little than a little from a lot, if you see what I mean. Valuev unfortunately does not seem like a guy particularly fussed about the management, finances and direction of his career.

    Nah, then you've only got 1/3rd control of the guy. When you have one champ per belt, they can pull the strings exactly as they want (promoters, venues, opponents, KICKBACKS, etc).

    Why do you think the WBA were so keen to strip Lewis for wanting to delay his fight against Ruiz? Then they could have total control of the champ/belt, and rely on good old Don King to pull the money in wholely and solely to them.

    Don't think like a normal human. This is the WBA people. They don't do that "rational logic" stuff.

    Brewster's eye was 100% healed when he fought Wlad in Germany. Brewster had already been cleared by his own Doctor, and then was cleared by the German doctors and his pre-fight physical as well. Lamon himself has said this even recently in an interview with OTG. He has even fought in the US since then. Did you think that Wlad knocked his eye back into perfect health with his punches?:lol: Brewster simply said that he didn't need to send his clearance papers from the doctors to the US commissions because he wasn't fighting in the US. Which is why this rumor got started because technically until they got the papers he was under suspension IN THE US. However, they got the papers afterwards, which is why he fought there afterwards.

    Chagaev beat Valouev. Titty At-l-ASS will be there cutting Klitschkos down, in fact, "all" Euro fighters.

    You've kinda made my point for me about this fight.
    Not that I think the eye being fine or otherwise made any difference for Brewster anyway.

    Elsewhere would've insisted on the documentation first, but the German boxing org wasn't bothered. If Brewster had actually been verified afterwards as not being fit to fight then they won't care it's too late - they've had the fight, Wlad's had his revenge and they won't nullify it.

    Same for Chagaev. Short of a major injury he'll fight, I have no doubt about that at all.
