This is a huge fight that will generate almost twice as much as what Joshua-Parker generated. 15M is likely no more than 20% of the total purse. You've acknowledged that it's short money, yet you're saying you have no problem with the A-side offering short money. Why is it that the A-side gets a free pass for short money offers with you? If the A-side wants the fight, wouldn't they offer better than at least a 25% split, which is the minimum that a mandatory gets on a purse bid.

Until recently Wilder had a low profile in America, no one is going to deny that, not until his name was attached to Joshua did people actually knew they had an American HW belt holder.
My point for every B-side is the same one I attached to GGG, Mayweather (Pre-Oscar) and now Wilder, if you want the fight then take the short end of the stick, don’t let money be your sole motivation. And no am criticising both sides, and pointing Team Wilder side as well, because some people seems to think they are blameless in this whole saga.

Originally posted by joe strong View PostHow was he the better fighter? You said you know the history then why did you say there was a rematch clause? Yes I like Lennox & I followed both careers but you are clearly making an assumption that he would of destroyed him all because he won 4 rounds. Vitali’s resume doesn’t indicate he is a better fighter. He feasted on overmatched opponents. The list of contenders in his era that he didn’t fight is pretty long. Two best opponents he fought 0-2. What is his best win? Peter? Arreola? Adamek? Briggs? Larry Donald? So you must be a Vitali fan if you think he is the better fighter...TKO 6. What were Vitali’s voluntary defences? Adamek, Sosnowski, Danny Williams, Chisora & Briggs, Arreola... Yep he was such a massive risk taker...

Originally posted by KnickTillDeaTh View PostIt's my opinion that Vitlali was the better fighter, and I'm not British nor Ukrainian, so that is a very unbiased opinion. Resumes don't prove who was the better fighter, it's silly to even suggest it. Vitali was a better fighter because he was more skillful, more power, better jab, moved better, higher ring IQ, and the bigger more athletic of the two. It was evident when they were in the ring, and evident every time Vitali fought. The fight happened in 2003, you won't change my opinion, which is why your response is a waste of time. Don't forget, everybody wanted to fight Vlad, nobody wanted to fight Vitali, including Lewis. Vitali defeated what was available, and he did it impressively. Hey what was Lewis' best win? Over the hill Hollyfield, Tyson, undersized Tua? Glass house.
then why was his face falling off ?
Vitali was not more skillful..... he did not move better..... and he did not have a higher ringIQ
