I dont know whats going to happen out of this whole situation but if Peter is being offered what everyone is saying he is I think he has some problems if he doesnt agree to it...
That's my thinking, Sam get's 2.5 mill and a fight against Vitali after he wins the title.

Damn he's losing alot of money on that deal he must really really want it (more so then I had thought)
yea,,, he wants the easy fight with maskeav becuz he knows its a longshot beating vitali. how else can you explain walking away from all that money,,,,if he is of course
I hope it's Peter too. He's earned it.
yea,,he earned it the hard way by getting raped by wlad and winning one of 2 ( legitimately) against a shot 38 yr old toney :ugh:
It probably will be Vitali, he offered Sam 2.5 mil to step aside then a 50/50 split and a fight with the winner, Peter would be stupid not to take that.
well,,,if peter doesnt take it,,it would be clear he just doesnt wanna fight vitali. no other way to explain walking away from all that money when he'd be getting a shot anyway
I hope it's Peter. That cutting in line shit isn't going to win Vitali any fans. I really liked and respected the guy after his fight with Lennox Lewis, I think he showed tremendous heart fighting through one of the nastiest cuts I've ever seen. However it's Sam Peter's rightful shot and if Vitali is looking to get back into the sport he should do it the rightful and respectful way.
why take this out on vitali? it was the wbc that declared he get an immediate title shot if he were to come back to boxing. so take it out on them. vitali is now 35 and is extremely prone to injury again so of course he's going to want maskeav right away. he'd be nuts to wait around if he doesnt have to
The main reason Vitali is stepping in is to try and screw over Don King because King Is blocking unification with Wlad! It is time King takes one up the chute for once and see how it feels. Who knows, he may enjoy it...
That is another reason why I like vitali fighting for the belt.
But this conference happened a week ago. Any offical news?

I hope this is true, and hope Sam takes it.

I understand and recognize Vitali as a former world champion, and probably still championship material. However I don't think that should be reason alone why he should get to fight for the belt before Peter. Vitali retired, he quit, he stopped fighting, that doesn't entitle him to a title shot in my eyes.
And I was a huge Vitali fan, still am. I just want him to respect the sport and respect Peter's shot. If nothing gets settled, they should suit up and fight it out for who gets the shot.
If this is the only way Vitali is going to step back into the ring, I hope he fights for it. Vitali is a world champion, Sam is not. But I think Sam should get to fight for it right after. It would be a huge fight between Sam and Vitali.
