Wow thanks, At least his trainer comes out and say he isnt ready but why waste all that time to agree to a fight, request drug testing, presser set etc.
So its all because of a glove and tickets? How did you find out? If thats true then Povetkin is just looking for excuses just like Haye.

Atlas told ESPN.com he didn't think Povetkin was ready for the fight and had recommended against taking it.
"I think he deseves the chance to develop," Atlas said. "I'm in the middle of training this kid, which is obviously an important time in his life for the future of his career. I'm doing my job. I am not moved by the title fight and what the biggest fight is out there. My job is to do the best job I can for the fighter and to make sure he is the best he can be when he's in a situtation to fight, whether to fight Klitschko, Samuel Peter, Adamek or Joe Shmoe.
"I am not controlled or dictated by anything other than that. I told him from the beginning I wanted more time. I was never really for the fight right now. Let me have more time with him. Does the mandatory dictate when he fights or do the circumstances of him having the best chance to win the fight?"
Atlas said he understands Povetkin is passing on a career-high payday of $2,078,250 -- his 25 percent cut of the purse bid. However, "I'm giving up money, too," Atlas said.
"I get 10 percent of that, but I decided the most important thing was to do what was the best for the fighter," Atlas said. "My judgment was is the fighter ready for this moment? My opinion was more time would be good."
They called it a slave contract because Povetkin couldnt wear the gloves he wanted and beacuase he wouldnt get enoguh free tickets. There can be no rematch clauses in an IBF mand fight.

They're the champions. They set the terms. If you want the belt, you have to take it from them. Sadly, there's no-one in the HW division who has the balls or the skills to do it.
Can't say I agree with this notion.

can you give me the details of these "slave contracts"?
I doubt you can give a Mandatory a slave contract but its either a coincidence that 3 opponents now accuse them of "Slave contract" or all those 3 are scared.

They win, their opponents lose. If you don't like the way it is, go ahead and beat them and bring the titles to your home country. Then you can call the shots.
Till then, it's Klitschko all day.
Makig someone quit is what pussies do? What about the guy who quits doesnt that make him a pussy? Didnt Andre ward say he wont fight outside of oakland, how many jabs does cotto throw? Come on bro I get what your tryna say with the slave contracts and all but dont other promoters do the same thing
