    Actually it is a pretty acurate representation of how that childish idiot talks.

    Except for the eensheets. I added that.

    So you think fighters have anything to do with negotiations?

    Doesn't sound like either man is ducking, it sounds like a bunch macho BS. Neither team can seem to agree to the other's conditions.

    They'll either work it out or it goes to purse bids.

    The Russians have a lot of money, but that doesn't mean they want to throw $20M or whatever at the fight in a purse bid when they know the champion gets 70 percent of that.

    And they did put that kind of money behind Sasha before to get the Klitschko fight and he sheet the bed, left them holding their peckers and a big fat receipt for $23M down the drain.

    The ploy -- or negotiating point -- here is pretty basic: they are willing to come to the U.S. as a concession if it gets off the 70-30 split and their guy gets a decent payday from Haymon ... which is probably fairly easily accomplished if PBC allows the Russians to control Russian and maybe European TV monies.

    Their thinking is probably this: if Sasha is good enough to beat Wilder, he's good enough to do it wherever the fight is held; if not, don't throw good money after bad.

    Talking is easy. I think Wilder will steer clear by any means necessary. I wish he'd fight him but I just get this feeling team wilder is going to go in another direction. I mean I think Povetkin is a full time fighter.. I don't think he has another profession but I could be wrong..

    Povetkin is making more money per fight than Wilder.

    In fact, Povetkin made more money in a single fight than Wilder has in his whole career.
