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

Miserable off Vitali. He is clearly scared of Haye, or he would chase a fight with him.

A) Vitali is not scared of Haye. Haye did not sign the contract for the October fight, which Vitali already had signed, stamped, and posted to Haye.

B) Who else shall Vitali fight in March/April? Look at the TOP 10 (boxrec, for what it's worth):

#1 Wladimir - the brother will not fight
#2 Vitali himself
#3 Haye - is occupied with Ruiz in April, and will not fight again before Sep.
#4 Chagaev - was demolished by Wlad, and I did not hear anything about further activity at all
#5 Adamek - has not enough experience in HW, and should avoid the far larger Klitschkos for now; is scheduled for FEB vs. Estrada
#6 Povetkin - is mandatory of Wlad, and could lose this status if he does not fight him this year, so Povetkin will not fight the other Klitschko before that
#7 Eddie Chambers - will face Wlad in March
#8 Valuev - was a belt holder and was never knocked down, and is the only fighter actually larger than Vitali
#9 Thompson - was defeated by Wlad in 2008
#10 Ruiz - is scheduled to fight Haye in April

So, of the first 10, only Valuev or Thompson could be scheduled to fight him within the next few months. And Valuev would get FAR more money in Germany, since he's a bigger name over here.

Just make the fight happen, even if Valuev gets 2-3 millions for it.

Haye? the guy who is fighting John Ruiz next and there-for is not a available option?

Valuev rejected one million? Haha I would be like OK and walk away and find someone else. Who's Valuev think he is.

[Roy Hobbs]

1 million is more than satisfactory. How can valuev reject a offer for a shot at the title when he just lost his last fight?

it would be amazing to see 2 huge hulking heavyweights share the same ring. But agree, klitskcho too skilled for valuev.
