JUST A BUNCH OF FECES

www.insideboxing.com 

We have all heard the bickering.  We have all seen the finger pointing.  And we have all saw and read both sides lay blame on one another.  I'm talking about the Roy Jones Jr. and the Dariusz  Michalczewski camps.  The truth of the matter is both camps are shoveling scoops of faeces into boxing fans faces in hopes the stench will effect our minds into thinking this is a fight we must see.  

InsideBoxing emailed both camps with a request to answer a few questions.  Question that would shed some light as to where the problem might be between both camps.  We asked that they respond by March 30, 2001 giving both side over a week of time.

It looks like we have two camps that are willing to tell the boxing public only what they want to and not what they ask for.  All of a sudden when a third party media gets involved both sides clam up.  

Square Ring Inc. (Jones Jr. camp) responded the very next day with this answer to our email:  "Square Ring is currently trying to have serious negotiations with Michalczewski's representatives to make the fight.  At this point, we feel that it is best not to do this publicly.  When the negotiations reach some kind of conclusion, we will let you know."  

Klaus-Peter Kohl, Universum Box-Promotion elected to ignore InsideBoxing's request.

Boxing fans hold your breath, not because this fight will be made soon but because if you breathe  you might get a mouth full of feces. 

The questions were as follows:

To the Michalczewski camp. Sent to Klaus-Peter Kohl, Universum Box-Promotion

• It has been said your offer to Jones to fight Michalczewski in Germany was 2 Million for Jones and 4 Million to Michalczewski.  What was the actual offer? 

• If your actual offer to Jones was a lower than the amount Michalczewski would receive, how do you go about justifying Michalczewski receiving the larger amount?

• What was the actual offer Jones Jr. submitted to Michalczewski?

• When was the last time both parties spoke with each other and when did negotiations break down?

• Do you believe Jones Jr. is “ducking” or afraid to fight Michalczewski or do you believe the problem is solely a money issue?

• Shouldn't Michalczewski be more concerned about getting a shot at the title than the money?

• Would you be willing to have a third party mediate a compromise?  Or are you set in fighting for a certain figure?

• If Michalczewski were to fight Jones Jr. in the US would he have to be compensated extra?

• If Michalczewski were to fight Jones Jr. in Germany would he take a reduction in purse?

• What are mandatory issues (if any) that would incorporate the fight?  (Referee, judges, ring size or ?)

• What makes Michalczewski's people think they can beat Jones and tell us why?
