Mega show down in Moscow it looks like. Provided both win next fights.

Am sure he isn't making that money back.

Give me Vegas! Miss Saturday night heavyweight bouts, although we are getting a decent one this weekend.

[The Hammer]

This is going to be a HUGE event!

I can imagine there will be a lot of publicity about it in Eastern Europe.

Doesn't appear like K2 will enjoy this news.

Would Putin be crazy enough to mess with Klichko? Payback for orange Revolution.

[Russian Crushin]

Why would he make such a massive bid, more then 3X K2's bid? There's no way he will make money on this.

That's a $17.25 mil - $5.75 mil split for Vlad

Interesting, i believe this fight won't happen now. Klitschko doesn't like not being in control.

[The Hammer]

Doesn't appear like K2 will enjoy this news.

I think they will - it's a HUGE payday for Wladimir.
