"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;D

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.......
