    GO__LEE GEE, i suppose that you guys think you're pretty smart up there> Don't know how anyone having his brains alternately baked and frozen could be termed smart...that is, unless they of the chosen few who live on the West Coast, or on the Island.

    Obviously you must live in one of the other parts, or else you'd know that Tua is nowadays little mnore than a walking barrel, still around because if the devotion of his promoter and also the fact that Klitscho Bros knocked off and OUT all the other contenders leaving the tiny antipodean island untouched. It helped that Tua was sidelined by his appetite as well as his messed up legal and contractual affairs. Several returns were sidelined by injuries or the fact that our Davie, couldn'push himself away from the dining table.

    Davie isn't worth more than a few hundred thou these days, except to the forlorn nostalgics. And not to many of those. it is now "fashionable" to jump into the new urban legend that the "slave contracts" and lowball etc when for 9/190ths of their careers the Klitschkos paid up and knocked down,

    i firmly believe, based on accurate observation, that Max Kushnir is saving face here, because, Boxing is a BUSINESS, never more at any time, than today, and the purpose is to get the best deal you can get for your fighter....SOOOOoo if Max wants $2 mill, He'll ask for $3 mill and allow himself to be worked down, all the time keeping the negotiation alive.. Klitschko custom is to offer a solid minimum, and allow themselves to be worked up. I would suggest that Max asked for 2 mill and WAS offered about $600,000 which he turned down, asking for 41.8 mill which the Klitschko's not keen in the first place to fight an out of date midget, turned down and walked away. Max is saving face with this specious argument. K would be castigated by both fans and media if he n early killed a guy like Tua, who was close to a foot shorter and with no chance at all. Not even to land a single shot.

        Tua should have JoeyZaigezunt negotiating for him. he could then go home and forget about fighting at all, except maybe with his wife.

        I have an idea this Joey guy has me barred, a unique distinctrion I treasure. If I'm wrong, I apologise and please do it as soon as poss.

          THE EASIEST FIGURES TO USE AS AN EXAMPLE ARE the actual ones of the deal. It's an OOOLLD con trick to get it OFF the record by calling it "HYPOTHETICAL" I say that THEY are the figures, as near as makes no difference.

              I'd like to see tua fight Barrett in a rematch...I think that should be first & then we will take it from there.I had Barrett winning a close decision.tua still needs to get in better shape.he was 237 but soft.at least he dropped the weight now he just needs to turn it to muscle.don't count him out yet....
