Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Thompson Purse Bid: 85% Split For Wladimir

[joe strong]

One of problems owning so many belts. You have to fight mandatory like this. I hope Wlad can fight every 2-3 months if he's going to be fighting mandatory bums.

i said 3 years ago the klitschkos would do anything to hang on to the belts. they are the only champions in recent history who waste time fighting bums. lennox twice vacated a title instead of wasting his time on a mandatory. he wanted money so he chose not to waste his time on defending vs john ruiz & henry akinwande a 2nd time. wlad could have done this by vacating his title but he will do anything to hold on to those titles.if vitali wants to fight haye he should just vacate his title. then wlad could fight arreola for the vacant WBC belt. by the brothers not fighting each other it just holds up the division. we need 1 unified champion. if vitali would just vacate or retire we could finally have 1 linear champion for at least 1 day before the bodies start stripping them. at least we would know who the real champion is. lennox lewis is the last legit, unified champion as he consolidated all the belts then vacated once the WBA wanted him to fight ruiz. vitali is holding up the division. he dont need a belt since he is almost done. vacate it & fight haye & let yer bro fight for all the marbles vs arreola...

Yeah, a champion wants to keep his belts...how weird is that?

each other...

Come back to reality

Come back to reality

reality? it's the fight i'd like to see. why not it would be a huge event although i don't know how the fight would go. could be very boring but i know me & my brother had some good slugfests in the past but we didn't wear gloves, it wasn't for a title or money either...it was over the last piece of pizza

i understand this but we need 1 legit champion not 2 or 4...we are 1 belt away from having a unified champion. once the belts are consolidated then it doesn't matter who gets stripped because there will be 1 champion who owned all 4 belts..

Everyone would like to see it but its never going to happen

Likely it ain't gonna be long. If Vitali gets elected mayor he retires and we have the next undisputed champ in 2013.

Wlad will unify all the belts next year.

It's kinda a big deal having all the belts in the division. Your argument is without merit. The people you would have fight the Klitschko's will not fight them anyways.

[Mr. Invincible]

This sounds like Wlad is not happy with the 85-15 split and is lobbying for a higher purse for Thompson if I read this correctly.
