Klitschko-Rahman Not Off, Byrd-Klitshcko a Bust

By Rick Reeno

The proposed April 16th battle between Wladimir Klitshcko and IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd is officially off according to promoter Don King.

Don King, in a last ditch effort to save the fight, offered Chris Byrd $3.5 million dollars to seal the deal. Chris Byrd was still not sold and balked at the offer. Byrd is still unhappy with having to fight Klitschko in Germany and is dis*****g that he is responsible for covering a $250,000 fee to his co-promoter Fight Night. Chris Byrd is claiming that Don King is contracted to pay the $250K fee to Fight Night, King says that Byrd is responsible for the fee.

King is steamed over the proposed fight falling apart and said that Byrd will not earn anywhere near the $3.5 million dollar amount to fight any other heavyweight contender on United States soil.

The camp of Wladmir Klitshcko was also upset with the news and issued a comment regarding the situation. "Byrd is scared to fight Wladimir. Chris Byrd said Wladimir is shot fighter with a weak chin, but he is afraid to fight him."

The Klitschko camp said that despite rumors, the April 30th Madison Square Garden bout between WBC champion Vitali Klitschko and number 1 contender Hasim Rahman is not off. Don King held a meeting with Rahman's manager James Prince to work out the final details. Rahman has still not signed the contract for the fight because he is upset with his end of the money. King has bumped up Rahman's take to $2 million dollars and a percentage of the live take. King is hoping that he can get Rahman's signature by the end of this week and schedule a press conference officially announcing the fight.


Byrd turned down his biggest payday to date. He also showed that he has no balls after choosing not to defend against the man who he claimed he wanted to fight again after getting brutally beat first time around.

In other news Rahman threatens to pull out of the fight if he doesnt get more money. He is currently being offered more money than he was for the first Lewis fight, and still wants more.

Bunch of cowards.

You hit the nail on the head, there man. All these fighters out there whining and calling out the Klitschkos, but when it comes time to fish or get out the boat, they find excuses not to fight.Im gonna head to the Byrd website and let them know their boy no balls.

[Enayze]

I dont get it? Wlad didn't look to good in his last couple of fights. Byrd chances of avenging his loss are higher than ever, he is getting his biggest payday, and even has a rematch clause in the contract.

One word comes to my mind when I think of Byrd, Fear.

PS Whats Chris Byrds website?

Vitali is willing to fight the best fighters out there, except the best fighters out there arent willing to fight him.

[Hurlex]

yeah i know,i respect VK for that,he is willing to prove himself no matter how much crap he gets,he always goes out there a ko's his opponent

I am constantly amazed at how easily some of the posters on this site can call fighters bitches. A fighter of that calibure would slap any of you like you were bitches and even as if you were ******ed. Give them atleast alittle respect.

Byrd not fighting klitschko I believe is a business decision. First of all he would have to fight in germany where unjust decisions involving foriegn fighters seems to be common place. Then don king wants him to pay, from what I read, the $250,000 fee to the promoters so he can fight. Since when and where is it written that a fighter should have to pay to fight on somebodyies fight card, thats ridiculous.

Im not saying that Byrd would beat Klitschko or the other way around. Im saying that Byrd is making the proper business decisions to hold on to his belt. I would bet that if the fight was to take place in vegas or newjersey that Byrd would be willing to throw with him. Besides, who is Klitschko to make demands. Byrd has the belt and can and will make the demands. That he is entitled to do..........Rockin'

Excellent post Rockin. I totally agree with the final paragraph. It really comes down to planning one's career in boxing. After all, these guys are in it for the long-haul.

Business decision? Do you need a catscan? He is being offered his biggest payday by far! He gets a chance at avenging his embrassing loss. Not to mention has a rematch in the contract! When Byrd fought the K-Bros in Germany 2 out 3 judges were from the states, and the other was one from a country other than Germany. How would he get an unjust decision when he has hometown judges? He is given the perfect fight on a silver platter and he turned it down. I guess he doesnt have the balls that he claims he does.

You mis interpreted and read a part wrong. Byrd doesn't have to pay the 250K to King, he has to pay it to Fightnight Round 2, for actually putting his sorry ass in the gamne. He want's King to pay that fee though, why should King pay for something that he has no control over?


Wladimir isn't making any demands, all he is is making the situation better by giving him the chance of avenging his terrible loss especially after looking bad in a couple of fights, and also agreed to give him a rematch clause. The fight wouldn't be very profitable in the states, and everyone knows this. The fight in Germany would be huge, and King and the Klitshcko's know this. It's business, and it's not like Byrd has to train in Germany.

Truth is Byrd is scared of Wladimir, and Rahman is scared of Vitali.
