Wlad Vs Other Careful Fighters

[AdamGB]

Yeah... why would he want to increase his PPV numbers?

HBO didn't even want to buy the fight. If you are the representative of the Heavyweight division and you have to fight on ESPN classic then that should say something. AS much as they've been on Wlad's nuts lately they don't even want to televise the fight.

You talk as if Wlad made nothing from this fight and that he stunk out the arena.

As far I've read from proper boxing writers so far the general view is that is was an impressive performance last night, hardly a mediocre or below par performance.

I really doubt he cares that HBO didn't screen the fight seeing as over 61,000 people turned up at the arena, apparently the biggest boxing crowd in Germany since Max Schmelling knocked out Adolf Heuser in 1939.

Considering Wlad had this change of opponent at only 3 weeks notice, and Chagaev was fully trained and fit as he was preparing to fight Valuev it was a decent performance from Wlad.

Who says I was talking about this fight in particular?

the 61,000 might have had something to do with the fact people thought they were paying to see a different fight?

And again, why wouldn't he want as much money as possible?
