I voted the first option.

Here's the thing...I agree with Peter's team...right is right & wrong is wrong...but this is boxing...& rules are meant to be broken.

Vitali was & still is such a big part of the heavyweight division...even though he's been gone for so long. If I were Peter & I had as much confidence in myself as he does...I'd step aside, take the 2.5 mill, fight some chump, & then take a crack at the winner for a 50-50 split.

Peter will find it hard to make that much cash in a year's time...no matter what other route he travels or any other situation.

$2.5 million is a boatload of cash.

No shame in stepping aside for such...if he does anything less...I'll think that he's foolish...but it's his career, not mine.

Thing is...stop & look at it this way...the 2.5 coupled with the possibility of a future clash against Vitali would be jaw dropping & would/could bank roll him for life.

If Maskaev were to win...& that's a shot in the dark, IWO, then Peter would probably have an easier night with him than the Klit.
