      Pleasing is easy. Drop the belt and fight Fury or Pulev or Chisora or Stiverne. Someone who's actually fought someone in the division. Or who's a name who would actually generate interest. This fight is equal to or worse than Pinaeta.
      Why does Wlad have to drop a belt? He can fulfil his mandatory obligations and fight Fury or Stiverne in 2014.

            HBO has done a better job this year of not overpaying for crap fights. They should stay the course and not buy any of Holdimir's bouts unless they are against someone decent like Stiverne or someone like that.

              You might have said it before, but do you have another source than yourself for that Info?

              They are not on PPV and they are not shown in all European countries. The interest in Europe for the klitschkos is average at best.
              Which countries does not show their fights and what do you mean by average?

              Yeah its a fairly pointless mando, but he is coming off a fight against the best in the division not named Klitschko.

                    Why would i need to lie about it? I was in Bern a couple of years ago to visit one of my friends. I was given a free ticket to Wlad-Thompson II.

                    Do I need more sources? How often do they show a Klitschko fight on a main channel here in Denmark? Not often.

                    Yeah I guess - If you can call that hugfest a fight. And who did he fight before that? Wach, Pianeta, Mormeck, Thompson etc. and then he gave us a totally crap fight a Povetkin for which he was entirely to blame. And now he fights someone who's realistically not even a top 20 fighter.

                      If the fight does go ahead, probably not...And it could be for the best, American viewing audience probably not a priority for K2 in this fight I imagine as they will be able to create enough of a buzz over here in Europe and Australia/Pacific. Then, once Leapai is dealt with, HBO can pick up Wlad's next fight against a 'bigger name contender' hopefully, such as Pulev. As such, this will also avoid him some of the inevitable criticism from disappointed American fans...
