Comments Thread For: Valuev Rejects Klitschko's $1 Million, Wants More Money

[The Hammer]

Why didnt Vitali fight Valuev when he had a belt and was willing and ready to fight Vitali? I really dont see the point of the fight now to be honest.

Actually, Vitali tried to get the fight with Valuev last summer.

Why do you hate Vitali so much?

Valuev isn't good, he isn't the worst boxer in the history of the world either. He has proven he is a legitimate top 10 heavyweight, he has decent fundamentals and balance, and he held one of the top 3 alphabelt titles for a long time.

People are hating on him because he is a really really big guy. Believe me, there have been super big heavyweights before who you would never have even heard of, because they didn't come anywhere near being top 10 in the world. Julius Long jumps to mind right away, but there are others.

Getting back on track here, as far as the offer goes, it is low. It would be a really big grossing fight in Europe, would definitely have a really big live gate, and would also pick up decent ppv buys. It is easy as boxing fans to just say "take the ****ing fight, a million dollars is a lot of money, I would love to have a million dollars". You have to think from the perspective of: is it a fair offer given the amount of money the fight is going to make? The answer in this case is a definite no.

You don't have a belt anymore and you just lost your last fight.

1 million is more than enough, take it or leave it and see if someone else will offer you more than that Valuev.

2 points about this article:

1) Valuev is turning down $1million? What does he think he's gonna get fighting anyone else? He should be taking this as a chance of a title shot straight after losing his title/a final payday.

2) Johnson got paid $1million for that fight? He had no name and based on his performance shouldn't have got over $20,000.

Lmao @ you taking my sarcastic mayweatherlike comment about Vitali and you have the nerve to red K me for it. Remove Vitalis balls from youre mouth please.

Damn, I was looking forward to seeing Valuev get knocked out. A million seems more than fair, considering Valuev just gave his title away to a guy throwing 10 punches a round.

Because he's black??? Vitali Pulled out of their Negotation according to all parties, Am just wondering why now when Valuev does not carry the belt anymore, It would have been better with the belt.

Tunney means business when it comes to his fighters EJ *öloooooooooooooooooooooool*

You guys are naive to think that Valuev was getting anything sizeably more than that when he was a champ. I am not even going to talk about his contendership years when he was fighting for 100k max.

To make Haye look ordinary. As well as for the renegotiations with him. I'm not that sure.

But Haye already looked ordinary in the Valuev fight, He wasnt impressive apart from the last minute when he wobbled Valuev, I just thought Vitali should have fought and KO valuev last year instead of pulling out of the fight.
