    Can someone explain to me how Wlad has apparently avoided this guy? Did he say something along the lines of "If the money is right"? UK fighters are turning into Haymon level chumps.

      Wladimir makes sure the money is right for him behind the scenes by giving challengers peanuts. He would never say something like that in public in fear of damaging his precious image.

      At least Fury is the mandatory so he can't really be ****ed around in the same way Wladimir's voluntaries are.

        After Fury beat Chisora and became mandatory for Wlad, Frank Warren contacted Wlad's manager to try and set up a title fight between Wlad and Fury as soon as possible, but Wlad decided he wanted to fight Jennings instead.

        Wlad didn't go for Jennings because he was scared of Fury, he made a tactical, strategic decision and took what he thought was the best option available to him at that time, which is exactly what Fury will do IF he is offered a fight with Wilder.

          I wouldn't call purses of between £750,000 - £900,000 unfair.

            Career high payday equates to being ****ed around? For sure, dems slave wages. Smh.

            I have some doubts Fury will be too keen to sign when the time comes. Either way, Jennings is probably the better fighter between the two.

              You can receive a "career high payday" and it still be not satisfactory.

              If I offered 1 dollar over your highest purse to face Wladimir Klitschko, it would technically be a "career high payday" but it would be peanuts for the magnitude of the fight and the overall money available of which Wladimir takes more than the lion's share.

              Dereck Chisora received far more to fight David Haye and Tyson Fury than he did when challenging Vitali Klitschko for the world title.

              I don't remember you saying anything when Wladimir demanded more than the usual mandatory % split for the Pulev fight.

                Can it. Fury is borderline ducking Wilder here, which is pretty unbelievable with the level of talk he's known for.

                  Jennings is a good fighter, P4P maybe better than Fury. But P4P doesn't apply with heavyweights. Fury's sheer size makes him more dangerous than Jennings, especially to Wlad, imo.

                    Ducking Wilder to fight Klitschko?

                    And of course he'd be ducking Klitschko if he fought Wilder.

                    Do you ever get tired of making a fool out of yourself?

                      The Klitchikos love fighting in the states. A big fight in NYC or London? A lot of people would choose NYC anyday. The Klits have wanted fame in America, but never quite got the recognition other HWs do, so Wlad loves these big fights against big Americans. Plus, his wife is American too.

                      Wlad is already a megastar in Europe, and in the UK. I do not think the UK holds the same allure as America for him.

                      I haven't seen Jennings fight, but I think Wlad would destroy Fury. He's stronger, far more technical, and he can fight from a good range. But, it will be nice to see Wlad fight someone his own size for a change.
