Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko: I Plan To Talk Further With Nikolai Valuev

I dont know about that!

Germany is not America,they got paid very very well here in Europe!

I bet that he got for Chagaev fight even more then 1.5 million!

na Chagev and Valuev had a 45 to 55 split and Chagaev's purse would've been around 1.1M if they fight would've taken place. 1.5M is a career high purse for Valuev.

valuev lost out on 1.8 million by cancelling the chagaev rematch

I think I read that Vitali got like 20 or 30 millions for that Pollock fight so I can understand why Valuev doesnt want to fight for 1.5 million!

The numbers were inflated, they issued this response a couple days later: http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=28405

Just looking in Boxrec, and I noticed that of Valuev's last 11 fights, 5 of them were Majority Decisions.

I'm interested in this fight simply because I'm tired of seeing the Klits beating on smaller guys.

I wouldn't mind seeing either Vitali-Valuev or Vitali-Briggs.

The only other opponents I would like to see him in with are Haye or Povetkin, but neither are willing.

I'd sooner save Adamek for Wladimir's proposed December fight, than have him fight Vitali now.

When they're done negotiating and that the fight finally takes place, Valuev will be making 250.

Dollars.

Briggs has a better shot at winning than Valuev

yes
Briggs has a better shot
