    40% is ludicrous.......soemtimes even for a unification fight.
    Haye got 50% simply b/c he was a HUGE draw in the UK and brought similar $$$$$ to the table.
    How much would Cedric Boswell bring? How about Antonio Tarver or Chris Arreola. A helluva lot less than Mormeck, whose HUGE French fanbase can make the 90 min drive/trainride to the colosseum and/or increase european tv share's for the networks airing the fight.

    I tend to agree.....but the criticism would likely be much higher for Waldimir had he taken an Amir Monsour for less $$$ then KOd him in the first 2-3 rounds. Lose -lose situation for the HWCotW considering no matter who he fights at this stage, unless it's David Haye, Potvetkin, or his brother are going to be discredited as opponents.

    40%, are you mad? No chance, a mandatory only gets between 25% or 30% so Mormeck can't expect to get more than that.

    Wladimir has never offered a fight to Helenius according to Sauerland, I have no idea why he thinks he has. Of course Helenius has in an interview said something on the lines that he'd like to have a few more fights before facing a Klitschko. But he might change his mind if he was actually offered the fight?

    Steward said in an Interview that they tried to get Arreola and Helenius.

    Maybe it only made it to the point of Wlad's team asking Helenius's team if they would entertain an offer, and they said no.

    The interview is here: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=29473&more=1
    Skip forward to the 1:09:30 mark.

    And you automatically assume it's Team Klitschko, and Steward who are lying?
    Sauerland lie? No, that would NEVER happen . . . :lol:

    Helenius has said publicly that he wanted a couple fights before Wlad or Vitali, so turning down an offer - or even the opportunity to receive an offer - doesn't seem far fetched to me.

    Wouldn't it be funny if Mormek doesn't understand a word that is being said and thinks this is all some big photo shoot with Wlad and not an actual fight in the making?

    Maybe 40% is too high, but how bout at least 25/30 and I highly doubt mormecks' gonna get that. (more likely mormeck's gonna get somethling guaranteed that will work out to be 10% or so). If you're making a title fight where the challenger shouldn't get at least 30 percent, it seems the fight should not be made. It takes two to make any event, so even if the champ is the draw, it seems less than 30 percent take is a bit unfair for a legitimate title challenge
