[Russian Crushin]

Valuev should just go back to the circus.

Or back to doing those Geico commercials

what a surprise don kingy screwing up a fight, some things never change

[BostonGuy]

if its true...thats twice now their financial demands have been turned down....first the rumor that haye wasnt going to give up his uk tv money & now this? maybe the klitschkos are much harder to deal with then people think.rematch clauses, UK tv $......valuev even agreed hesitantly but agreed so im wondering what the problem is? don king is one of the most successful promoters ever but isnt the most honest guy,so who knows. if what king says is true this is solely on vitali....i dont see valuev winning so unless vitali thinks he could lose i dont see the point of talking financial terms for a rematch.the rematch clause is fine but making finacial terms for a possible rematch is ridiculous especially if vitali were to lose...come on guys this fight isnt that big.if vitali lost he knows the fight will happen in russia so hes trying to windle more money out of the rematch then he should be entitled to. i see a crack in vitalis armor...could he be having doubts about winning? who knows? just make it happen or move on.

The financial reality is, $1.5 million payday despite any of the Klitschkos rematch clauses, tv $ deals, etc. I'd say take the money and go for broke trying to win the fight. Then Valuev and his team can bargain for a rematch or a big money fight with Wlad...

Whatever Don King says.. believe the opposite

[Joeyzagz]

THis is the most ridiculous fight negotiation going on right now....

Valuev wants the fight
King wants the fight
Vitali wants the fight.


There making this a lot harder than it hsould be.

lol! Exactly right!

[vitali1999]

the only reason don king keeps saying he loves the klitschkos n the interview is cause he wants to pomote them. His days of haveng a strangle hold over the heavywieght divsion have been long over. Hail vitali, don king is not worthy.

Why would we want to see Klitschko-Valuev, when Haye just beat Valuev.

Id even rather see Klitschko-Holyfield at this point haha

No-no... Foreman - Briggs rematch! Make it happen...

[Mutchie6g]

Valuev should just go back to the circus.

If Valuev was to beat Vital Klitschko why would he sign up to get a lot less in a return fight it doesnt make sense and it leaves me wandering if the KLITSCHKOS ARE TERRIBLE TO DO DEALS WITH !!!
