Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Chisora: Derek Ready For Big Career Chance

[beez721]

How are the Klitachko fans gunna defend this fight

easily. these top guys are either running away from wlad or coming off injuries which gives him little choice in opponents

[Ray*]

This is a no win situation for Wlad apart from two things, He gets to keep himself busy and he gets to eliminate Chisora has an option for Haye, Because I see Haye-Chisora happening if those soon.

200000 pounds or $300000US ? thats ridiculous for a world heavyweight title fight! in the 90's if you got a shot at the big 3 you got at least a couple million.peter mcneely got 500000 to fight tyson.grant $5 million vs lennox...in my opinion they lowball their opponents.byrd got 2 million to fight wlad & he was the champion.times have changed & the klits are the champions so if you want a shot you better take it.harrison is getting a million pounds to fight haye,you would think chisora being british\commonwealth champion he would get close to that.harrison was the euro champ which gives you a top 10 wbc rating.200000 just seems so low & then tua turning down 400000 is understandable because he got 500000 to fight shane cameron....tua is the # 2 rated wbo contender & holds 2 regional titles so at least a million purse should have been offered IMO.

Its because Don king was blowing money like it wasnt his, oh wait, the money WASNT HIS. If you have noticed Boxing and the economy is in a decline, you cant pay BUMS millions as a TUNEUP fight. Do you not understand that? And he's not going to make 200k, Chirosa will make prolly 300-500k which will be 10x more than he has made in his entire career so what are you crying about?

and lol at Tua, tua has a 1m 3 fight contract with Maori Tv which works out to 333k per fight, he got offered 400k as a lowball, they were supposed to counter but never did because he doesnt want his career to end, he couldve gotten an easy mil.

It's easy, I'm not even a Klitschko fan really but it's either:

Wladamir v Chisora on Dec 11th.

Or Wladamir doesn't fight on Dec 11th and just waits until next year to fight again.

Wlad just fought several weeks ago, he'd be well within his rights to just relax until next year. But he's taking a stay busy fight in December against an undefeated prospect and in the process elimination an option (Chisora) for David Haye to duck him again next year.

A lot of boxing fans don't understand the difference between a stay active fight and not fighting at all. They think just because a fighter is fighting again so soon after a previous fight that they can immediately jump in with the best, at this short notice their isn't really any one available for Wlad.

Anyone who has a problem with Wlad v Chisora answer this question;

Would you rather Wlad fought Chisora on Dec 11th? Or Wlad not fight until next year?

Good post, it's hard to understand their mentallity but for some Klitschko haters the option would be your second question. They hate to see the brothers win and would rather see them retired (they would love to see them get beaten but they know that's not happening).

They can get it trhough their head that this is a STAY BUSY FIGHT, hell a 26 year old, undefeated, high-profile fighter in Britain, what's so bad about this? Nothing. Wlad just fought two mandatories this year, he can fight whomever the hell he wants. He should be applauded for his activity, not many fighters these days, especially champs, in any division, fight as often as he does.

I think he will make more than that. I think he is looking at $700K or so.

[WladIsTheChamp]

I think Chisora deserves more than 200K for fighting Wlad.

Surely you don't believe what that Brit **** rag, the Daily Star, is prining? Do you?

He is getting much more than 200K pounds.

Man, you are on something. The Klitschkos offer the best paydays around. Povetkin was getting $2.5 mil before he said "no thanks, I am not ready to be a millionaire". Rahman got $1.2 mil. Valuev was offered over $2.5 mil, his best payday ever and he rejected it, after he lost the belt the offer went down to a $1.5 mil but still. Byrd had his best paydays from Klitshckos, more so than he earned from Holyfield. Peter is a very rich man due to Klitschkos. Sultan got enough money to retire on. Klitschkos are hard negotiators but they are fair, they don't low-ball. Hell, they were offering Gaye 50/50.

Oh yeah, ask Ruiz how much he got for the Haye fight, or ask Ouendo how much he got for his IBF title challenge against Byrd, the list goes on and on. More titles means more money, Lewis had all the titles when Grant chellenged him and he was ranked number 1, It was a fight the public wanted to see. This guy whoever he is isn't ranked and has no chance so i think he is getting more than enough money.
