    How ruiz was top 10 is beyond me. Also Valuev wasn't top 3 he was a belt holder yes but he didn't deserve a top 3 spot for draw with ancient Holyfield and belt won in court.

    Lennox had to agree to come out first with Holyfield coming in second.

    I don't recall Lennox whining about it do you? :deal

    Because Haye left him at the alter and he had millions sunk into promoting a fight? And Chageav had just been training to fight Valuev you **** wit.

    Wasn't Chef talking about the amount they spend on food for camp after someone brought up the amount Haye spent? I'm pretty sure these guys are all eating at the same table.

    Chef said he's cooking for the whole team including trainers, massage crew and all sparring partners.

    The hotel where the K brothers is a 5 star resort in the Austrian alps: http://www.stanglwirt.com/en/

    I am not sure what the author of that article was smoking but this certainly doesn't look like a "dump" or "crappy hotel". I think a night in the cheapest room starts somewhere around $400.

    Get real - British newspaper prints a story in which Haye claims that

    - "For some crazy reason people think that Wlad is some type of gentleman in boxing.

    - "The truth is that he is a ruthless two-faced businessman. It's been two hard years of negotiating to make this fight happen... and he seems to be getting all the credit.

    - "I'm not really that bothered, but he is not the hero that some people think he is."

    - "I have made all of the concessions and done everything that has been asked of me.

    - "I made this fight happen."

    That´s just Haye thrash-talking again.

    Wlad and Vitali are the only REAL attractions in the heavyweight division right now. Haye is decent but nowhere near them. That's the reason the last 15 of their challengers got little money. You get as much as you're worth. Did Toney really think he deserved 3M$ with his beer belly 20 punches per round, not having beaten a contender for years?:lol:

    They demand the lionshare because they can. Simple as that. You want 50/50? Then fill 50% of the seats. Fact is no one can. Economics..

    Where did people get the impression that K2 are gentlemen and "men of the people?"

    They are self serving business men who like making money just like Haye. They have their own promotional company that puts on notoriously awful under cards to save money.

    Given that Haye a) makes more money per fight then Wlad or Vitali and b) sells out 25,000 arenas vs nobodies, how do you come to the conclusion that he is "nowhere near them" in terms of being an attraction?:patsch

    You think the Brits are dumb enough to buy another fixed fight fiasco like Haye's last one? Has to yell at Oddly when it is time to take his dive. Shouldn't they have at least rehearsed it a little so it wouldn't be as obvious? :rofl

    Yes they would. It's a different mentality over here. Being a hick from Youngstown with no passport you have no authority to comment on what British fans will buy and what they wouldn't.

    Stick to what you know and do best - firing shotguns at stacks of tyres, making home brew in your bath tub and playing the banjo with your 6 fingers. You inbred ****.

    You didn't strike a nerve at all you tool.

    I find it funny that someone like you who has never left Ohio let alone the USA considers himself an expert on British culture and the boxing fans in the UK.:lol:
