Comments Thread For: Klitschko: Even $20 Million Could Not Change Mind on Retirement

[True That]

Yes'sir Klitschko, I don't blame you. Taking the beating that you got the first time for all that money at your age probably not worth going through again.

You went out like a Champ for sure in a two sided FOTY battle. And I don't blame you for not wanting to take a beating again at 41.

I think this is a callback to when Lennox wanted 20 million to come out of retirement.

Try again, Lennox turned down 25 million for a Vitali rematch when it mattered. He wanted 100 million to come back after a few years.

Yes Wlad, you've done enough for the sport. **** Hearn and Joshua. Fight Wilder pansies.

Are you sure? I don't think anyone was thinking of 100 million paydays back then. I'm pretty sure the sum he wanted was around the 20 million mark. I'd be surprised if he was really getting 25 million for a rematch.

Very wise man plenty in the bank and not fooling himself

Nice to be able to turn down a $20 mill payday. Wlad was obviously smart with his money, unlike 99% of fighters. Now he can afford to be smart about his health.

Nothing but respect.. thanks champ!

Props to Wald. You are only a few fighters turned down a big offer.

I think Manny needs to learn from Wlad.
