    Why are all these fighters who are scared of the Klitschkos make money excuses?

    First you had Diva turning down a 50/50 shot against Wlad and Vitaly. Then you had Povetkin turn down a $2.5 million shot. Then you had a shot and bankrupt Tua turn down the highest payday he has had in years. Mormeck decided it would be better to get gift decisions against journeymen in front of hometown crowds rather than face Wlad. Adamek would rather face Madalonne and Grant. Now you got fat boy Solis trying to say he doesn't care about the money and will fight for free yet at the same time complaining about the highest payday of his life. The Klitschkos turned all these top fighters into punks, even Mike Tyson in his prime never had anyone turn down a payday against him.

    If all these fighters were confident of their chances why would they squabble over a couple of dollars when victory over the Klitschkos is sure to bring in many more lucrative fights. It's not the Klitschkos that have to make concessions, they are the recognized Kings of the HW mountain that have ruled it for the entire decade. If someone wants to take them down, they have to want and not just talk about it and then run away when it's time to sign the contract.

    Maybe Haye's "excuse" of the Klitschko's giving him dodgy contracts is true.

    Just a thought.

        Because they all cling to that excuse to get out of the fight maybe?

            Because pro boxing is a business and money is always going to be the main issue. I don't know the terms of the contract that was offered (and you don't either) so I wont speak on that.
