Thread: "Klit vs. Chagaev" on 6/20...

Folks,

I am gettin' pumped and psyched for this upcoming fight between Klitschko and Chagaev this Saturday night in Germany.... I trust at least 75% of the original ticket holders will maintain their tickets to see Russ Chagaev step in for David Haye.?.? If not, I am sure the tickets will still sell to somebody.......

Q: Is it true that the stadium in Germany to where the fight is to take place holds roughly 60,000 people for a fight Does Germany expect a sold-out show

Q: Is Russ Chagaev's "Paper" WBA title gonna be included into the mix by the WBA

Hmmmm... Some interesting thoughts and notions coming up here... Myself, I am a "K" brother fan... I'll be rooting for Wlad Klitschko to prevail as the winner...... However, I am fully expecting Team Chagaev to make a fight / effort out of this event and opportunity......

Q:

Any line on what each fighters purse / cut will be I gotta assume Klit will gross at least 4 or 5 million dollars since ESPN is behind the telecast and not HBO in the States....... As for Russ Chagaev, well, he has to be earning somewhere between 1.5 to 2 million bucks total..... I'm just guessing here....... Any word outta Europe?

How the hell did all those sorry faces appear on my thread

MR.BILL

Don't get to excited...somebody might get hurt and then the fight might have to be "rescheduled."

I was hyped for haye.........and nothing against chagaev but this fight is a huge let down in comparison. I hope for a good fight but i imagine jab jab right, KO as usual.

David Haye is a nobody!!! Haye is a creatation of Setanta he's nothing but hype!!!!

A: Yes it's taking place at Shalke soccer stadium...I'm not sure how many fans will be there but it should be a bunch.

A: Ruslan Chagaev's title WILL be on the line

A: I'm not sure what the details were on the contract.

I am hoping Wladimir comes out with the intention to end the fight early to send a message to Haye and all the haters out there, but in the end I just hope for a KO win for Wladimir

Holmes,

To a degree you are correct.......... Point is, the fighter himself will take whatever he can get... However, I do hate it when fighters get a Christmas gift and the judges screw the other guy over hard........

I was pissed when Mike Spinks got the nod over Larry Holmes in 1986....

I was also pissed when Camacho got the nod over Duran in 1996.....

I was surprised when the amateurish Trinidad got the nod over DLH in 1999....

I was baffled when Mosley got the nod over DLH in 2003.....

Them are just a few of the "Piss Me Offers" that I have seen........ Peace....


GO KLIT!!! But Chagaev had best come to fight............. Cheers.......
