Rumble in the Jungle II - Frank Warren's Big Idea - Chisora v Wlad

[Fenster]

Who was Wlads biggest fight against? Was it Haye? Was Haye Wlads most dangerous regarded opponent?

Is Furys £5 million purse (for the scheduled Haye fight) a record for a contender to fight in a none title fight?

Wlad got paid the most to fight Povetkin....so much for Haye being "Mr. Moneybags"


Haye was a dangerous opponent, ON PAPER, he didn't come to fight he just wanted to get paid. The first time Wlad fought Sam Peter it was a very tough fight at a very vulnerable time for Wlad. Wlad was seen as washed up, an all hype fighter, and Sam Peter was the next big thing and Wlad completely schooled him AND more important Wlad showed the heart of a true champion getting up off the canvas and winning that fight. Jameel McCline when Wlad fought him was tough, Tony Thompson has only ever been stopped by Wlad, he's had some very tough opponents to beat.

Behave.

K2 promotions (that's Klits firm) bid $7 million for the Povetkin fight, Sauerland Bros bid $6 million and a Russian oligarch won the bid for a ridiculous $23 million. It was a freak deal.

Haye/Wlad both made more than the entire fight purse K2 bid to stage the Povetkin fight.

Haye was supposed to bring MORE money, MORE fans....Haye didn't do jack except have the Brits believing they'd have a new champion and that was the saddest con of all

Who was Wlad fighting when he made his biggest purse (outside of the freak last one) and got his highest ever TV audience, not only in Germany, but around the world?

Shit I don't know, I DO know like 50K showed up to watch him fight Eddie Chambers....give the guy some fucking credit

Give the guy some credit? You're the one that can't accept Haye was Wlad's biggest payday and still most high profile victory to date.

Yes Wlad sold 50,000 tickets against Chambers but did HBO buy the fight? Was it PPV in Britain? Was it sold to hundreds of countries around the world?

TV money!!! Why do you think Floyd makes $50m a fight and Wlad $5m?

Wlad will be loved by Germans as much as our Frank is over here for fighting on mainstream TV long after Floyd has spent his money and retired.

Honestly, Haye's ridiculous circumstances regarding the injuries prior to the Klitschko matches and recently prior to the Fury one are imo legit, just unfortunate and yes, rather disappointing!

But who the hell would really bet against David Haye in a Fury fight! Give THAT guy some credit. Fury has Haye's stupidity to thank in reality for him still being relevant in championship boxing for the immediate future. Had that fight gone ahead, Tyson would have gone the way of the dodo!!
