    Wait...the guy who can stop the fight do to a cut is Wlad's personal doctor?

    What's undeniable is that you have no ****ing clue what you're talking about.

    A fighter talking/not talking to the press and negotiations being public are two very different things. It's sad that you STILL don't comprehend the difference, but it's funny watching you contradict yourself over and over.

    I'd say to give it up Jack, but honestly it's just entertainment for us to watch you make an ass out of yourself over and over again.....so continue on.

    In boxing, you're only as good as your last fight - rightfully so or not. At the time Toney was offered the shot, he got busted for steroids, then failed to impress against Rahman (most had him losing).

    Bottomline is that Toney needed Klitschko (the title), not the other way around. Toney thought he didn't get enough money and that's his good right - but do realize that he never again got a title shot, and thus overestimated his value. He should've taken the offer because it was on the mark..


    This comment is not aimed at you, but some people here seem surprised that the champion gets paid more than the challenger. And in this case, the champion is a HUGE draw compared to any other current heavyweight. It's just economics. You can't buy a Porsche and expect to get a 30% discount for trading your 90's Toyota.

    Regardless if he was mandatory or not: Lewis reportedly got $5 million, Vitali $1.4 million. Works out to 80/20 in Lennox' favor. This goes to show that the K brothers took offers that today's contenders are complaining about. Isn't that ironic?

    I don't recall Vitali bitching about Lennox' "low ball offer" do you? :think

    I know..................

    Would you believe Wlad dared to demand that he get top billing? He also wanted Queen Haye to come out first and Wlad wanted the "red corner" as well.

    Slavemasters those Klitschkos...................:yep

    B-b-b-but Wlad is among Jack's favourite fighters, just check his "favourite fighters list" he posted 4 years ago. Dare you accuse him of trolling again!

    Are you fuggin' serious? Haye wanted all the UK money as if his opponent being the true recognized champion didn't matter at all.:lol:

    Haye also has 1 belt on the line, which should be Wlad's already since Wlad KO'd the real WBA Champion, Chagaev. Wlad has 4 belts including the Ring.

    The purpose of sparring is to best prepare you for the styles of your opponent, and to practice techniques to exploit their weaknesses and maximise your strengths.

    Why would anyone sabotage their sparring partner, thereby reducing the quality of their preparation for the fight.

    I dont think I have ever heard of a more bull**** logic.:silly:silly:silly:silly

    :patsch:patsch:patsch Fighters usually keep their own country's TV money - especially when fighting abroad. Hatton, Naseem, Calzaghe all fought abroad on PPV and not one of them gave any of their money away. They took 100% of their own country's PPV. Even "Money" Mayweather got none of Hatton's PPV money. So don't make out it is unheard of for a fighter to keep his own TV money - when it is actually the norm.

    The WBA are a joke but you know as well as I do why the title wasn't "on the line" when Chagaev fought Wlad.

    It's not about resumes, opponents or careers. It's aboute money and who brings what. Surely you realize this.

    The real point is that Haye doesn't make that kind of money if he fights anybody other than Wlad. You know it, I know it, Wlad knows it & Haye knows it. Straight up 50/50 split of all money-period. That's still overly generous to Haye.........................and you know it, I know it...............etc., etc.

    99% of haye's fans are britards, all news they get in UK is crappy british propaganda. I lived in that rainy craphole and I know how dumb and blindly patriotic limeys are.I never liked hatton fans ,but hatton never acted like a clown and fought the best ,while gaye is a clown ,he's also a liar and never fought any decent heavyweight.That's why his fans are the dumbest britards from them all.

    Nice back tracking. Neither makes as much fighting somebody else obviously. Not exactly rocket science is it.

    And stop with this nonsense that Haye "wouldn't make any money" vs someone else. He's been doing in the 700k PPV buy range for his last few fights. I will be suprised if Haye-Klitschko does 1m buys, even if it does, it's not a massive increase.

    50/50 is fair when Haye brings more money to the pot.

    He fought the #3 or #4 HW in his 2nd fight at the weight and is now fighting the #1 in his 5th fight at the weight.

    Don't call people dumb when you are clearly a ****** yourself.
