LOL. You're so funny, Erkel. You get your panties in a bunch over 5% ? ROFL. Ok, maybe it was 65/35, and? Your point? LOL The point of my post remains, and your point is... well, you have none as usual.
Toney called out Vitali on BDSSP. Vitali said "Ok, here you go, here's your title shot." And Toney turned it down. Period. Once it was turned down, they started negotiations with Maskaev, according to Finkel. Then Goosen comes running back, saying "Wait, wait! Ok, we'll do it for 60/40!" And Finkel said they had made an offer to Maskaev and were negotiating with him.
Do you not understand how boxing works? Do you think you can just send out several open contracts and see who signs and faxes it back? LOL What if they all do? Then you're ****ed and have to fight several guys on the same night.
Here are the facts, in case someone was confused by Bozo:
- Toney was offered a shot at the WBC title by Vitali, and turned it down. (Coming off of a steroid suspesion, and banned by the WBA for 2 years).
- Toney was offered a shot at the IBF title by Wlad, and turned it down. (Coming off of a blubbery gift draw where he performed at an all-time low as a professional fighter).
If a fighter thinks he can win, he takes a title shot. Period. This wasn't an issue about options, there were none. This was Toney not being confident in his ability to win. If he was, then he would've taken it. ****, Wlad took less to fight SAM ****ING PETER, for no title, when everyone said he'd get KO'd inside of 3. Why did he take it? Because he had confidence in his ability to win.
Guys take title shots for WAY less then what Toney has been offered by both Vitali and Wlad. Why? Because they think they can win a world title, and then the paydays start rolling in. Toney knows he can't win. So he doesn't sign. He's hanging around waiting for an easier fight- ie, the winner of Rahman/Maskaev.
Agonizingly simple. Leave it to my good buddy Erkel to get confused by it all. LOL
