Wladimir Klitschko says he was once offered as much as $100 million to fight his brother Vitali, but he turned it down.
During a sit down on the Dan Patrick Show, Wladimir tells a story of the time Don King offered him $100 million to fight his brother, Vitali.
“You guys sign with me, I’m going to make this fight. I’m going to make you rich!” Klitschko recalls King telling him.
Wlad says no amount of money would have made him fight his brother.
“A billion wouldn’t help. Money is not everything in life. I understand that people are excited and driven by money, but no. Between two brothers … I love my brother too much.
“We were asked many times if we are going to fight each other or not, but we made a promise to our mother that we will never fight each other.
“She asked us — you can box, you can both be involved in boxing — which I don’t like, but you have to promise me one thing: no matter what you won’t fight each other.”
Vitali, 43, retired from boxing with a record of 45-2 and entered politics. He is currently the mayor of Kiev.
