I think the PPV will do OK!! If A Hopkins fight did good on PPV then they'll do ok no disrespect to hopkins I think he's a hell of a good fighter not entertaining but good!! everytime he fights none of my freinds ever watch cause they think he's boring, so what I'm trying to say that if hopkins did ok on ppv then the fight between vitaly vs the rock is going to do pretty good, I think even though his poor perfomance vs barret he still has a hell of a good chance to beat Klitchsko,and I also think vitali is one of the most entertaining heavyweights thats out their RIGHT NOW so it should be a good match Top rank did good on winning this purse bid. Don king is probably going bananas over this one!!!

The only thing thats worrying me (im a klitschko fan) is that he hasnt fought a decent opponet since his fight with sanders. Plus he hasn't fought since the willaims fight. Also, Rahman has that jab, he could jab with vitali. I have faith in klitschko put im still worried even tho rahman didnt look so good against monte.Comment

Thats why its going to be a good fight!!! i remember when vitali fought sanders that was a good fight while it lasted sanders showed alot of hearth he took alot of hard shots!Comment

Sanders came in out of shape, no idea why. So he didn't have much chance of winning. Danny Williams is a pile of crap. So in fact he hasn't really fought anyone since his fight with Lewis. Hopefully he is going to get lots of sparring done. Rahmans jab is terrible compared to Vitali's.Originally posted by thealishuffleComment

This fight will do good if they Hype it right. They are gonna go overboard using Lenox Lewis's name as a selling point (i.e. Rahman last man to knock Lewis out - Vitali was the man that retired Lewis, yadda yadda yadda)
A big known white guy vs a big known black guy does not hurt the sales either. I would not doubt this fight does well.
I think the PVP numbers will being even higher if Wlad puts on a good performance and beats Peter. The way that fight is being hyped it should have a good amount of viewers including ones who do not know much about the HWs. If Wlad does well these possible new fans will know the name Klitschko well and may lead them to the PVP card.Comment

Rahman ****** ass in his last fight, in fact neither one of them would last more than 5 rounds against VK that night. The best fight I could think of would be VK vs. Byrd, I would love to see VK avange his loss to Byrd. Unfortunately, Byrd knows better and doesn't want to get near either of Klitschko brothers. I have no idea why VK gets all this bashing about his inactivity when Byrd sucks his thumb for almost a year now. At least Klitschko had an injury...Originally posted by enadeus

Hopefully, Don King doesnt spend his part of his losing bid to fix the fight so his man can win.Originally posted by boxing2005Just read it on *********.com

Top Rank was the winner of today's WBC purse bid for the right to promote the world heavyweight title fight between champion Vitali Klitschko and interim champ Hasim Rahman. Top Rank submitted a bid of $12.1 million, Don King Productions bid $11 million, K2 Promotions bid $10.7 million and Bobby Hitz Promotions bid $6.7 million. The split will be 65/35 with Klitschko making $7.5 million and Rahman $4.6 million.
I cannot believe Rahman is getting $4.6 million for this fight.
I also cannot believe Don King lost this purse bid, something strange is going on.Comment

good luck to them all........the most highest paid average heavyweights in history........i can't believe they will be getting paid that much......
and gee, rahman and vitali must be elated with that news.........Comment

well i'm not a Rahman fan and i'll never be a Vitali fan.......so i don't really have comments on this but i saw someone talking about Byrd man Byrd will fight anybody anywhere all they gotta do is pay him his money and sign the contract ......everybody in this Forum knows byrd does not run.....if Byrd vs Vitali or Byrd vs. Wlad ever happened again i'd put all my points on BYRD.................
By decision of courseComment
