Wlad looking for replacement opponent? Chisora legal issues?

Wladimir Klitschko

Dr. Steelhammer has more trouble finding patients than Jack Kevorkian did in the early 1990s. Even for the astronomical purses a fight with Klitschko promises, heavyweights prefer to assume fetal position in public than sign a contract to face him. So Klitschko is scheduled to throttle Derek Chisora in December during the annual Mannheim Lustmord Festival. Justifiably paranoid after the Haye and Povetkin debacles, Klitschko is nervous that his bout with Chisora might not come off due to legal troubles Chisora may find himself in when he goes before a Westminster magistrate for sentencing on theft and assault charges. Klitschko is reportedly negotiating with substitute fighters in case Chisora winds up in Brixton or Maidstone instead of the SAP-Arena.

He bit a guy too? WTF is wrong with these guys?

God I hope Chisora has to be replaced. He seems like a complete asshole and I'd hate to see him get rewarded for it with a big payday he doesn't deserve.

Del Boy is alright, don't read into what you hear too much. Chisora won't be prosecuted and the fight will still happen. it's a really minor offence and i'd expect him just to get a fine. and the payday he is getting is £200'000 which for the Heavyweight title of the World is peanuts.

Has 15 fights, his signature win is over Matt Sexton, and its a CAREER pay day

Yea peanuts

It is peanuts compared to the 13 mill purse for that Povetkin fight.

Povetkin was getting 2 million bc of his stupid IBF mandatory status

which he at least earned by beating Chambers and a couple of ranked fighters in Donald and Byrd

There is no comparison

lol this could be an absolutely career wrecking defeat Del Boy could be facing. £200,000 won't get you very far for the rest of your life without a career

Chisora-Wlad is taking place for one reason and one reason only.

To take a big money fight away from Haye.

Not only are the Klit's going take out everyone in the Heavyweight division, they're going to take out anyone Haye could make any money against.

Sound business move by the Klit's.

I am sorry Brook but that's complete nonsense, Chisora was never and will never be a future opponent for Haye, American's need to realize Haye's facing Harrisson because Sky Sports pushed hard for the fight, Audley is a controversial character and gold olympian, he sells tickets here.

If Wlad thinks he's eliminating future opponents for Haye then he's not as smart as we all think he is.

Line'um up for me Ali.

Who will Haye make any money off?

Haye can make money off anyone at this stage, he's a promoters dream, charismatic, good looking, intelligent, and an entertaining fighter 95% of the time.

Haye can make enough money in the UK to the point where HBO don't have any influence over him.

So being the best Heavyweight isn't a concern?

Bums can get they're asses kicked by the Klitschko's for more money.

Sadly the majority of British fans will pay to support their local fighters regardless of opponent, most of the boxing fans over here only really pay attention to the domestic scene.

Chisora wasn't on Haye's radar, he's a prospect who's fighting at domestic level. Wlad's just desperate for fresh opponents at the moment, only haters like blutto Dan Rafael believe it's a calculated move by K2 to eliminate future opponents for Haye.

BTW I sent you a pm.

really though, they can't, Haye is a bigger cashflow generator then Klitschko's, that's a fact. he's going to get about $8million+ for fighting Harrison. it's like the Ricky Hatton effect, Hatton's PPV sales in the UK alone vs Mayweather were over 1million buys, Hatton made $20million from that fight and sold more PPV's in the UK then there were in the USA for that fight. The difference between the USA and the UK is that the UK population is a lot denser, this results in easy media exposure as the UK is only a tiny island the size of Florida. a bit like Puerto Rico and their fighters with the exception of the UK being a much more affluent nation, you'd be surprised what Haye could make without fighting a Klitschko
