    Remember, it was in Germany too, where they have higher purses and Wlad is highly popular. But yes, overall, it is ****ed.

    No way!! Good for Mr. Klitchko. The Euro fights must REALLY pay off. Hard to believe.

    No wonder Wlad is too busy to fight Haye for a while. He doesn't want the gravy train being derailled.

    Klitschko, or rather either of the Klitschkos, are by far the most popular boxers in Germany. Each of their fights has a guaranteed tv audience of 10-12 million viewers. So he probably makes a lot more money fighting in Europe than with his fights in the US.

    Didn't Larry Merchant state in today's broadcast that Thompson made around $500,000?
