    Pretty much.
    It was also a good "stay busy" fight

    Wlad had lenghty negotiations with Haye and then Povetkin and then they both bitched out. At this time he was releasing youtube vids mocking Haye. They even had the purse bid for Povetkin/Klitschko but Peter was brought in as a replacement when Povetkin didn't show for the press conference.

    Peter getting to be #2 IBF contender was rather shady (elmiinator against....who else?...Nagy Aguilera), but at the time nobody wanted to fight Wlad and Wlad wanted to rematch Peter.
