Gary Shaw, promoter for heavyweight Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (7-0, 6KOs), informed BoxingScene.com that his company is far apart on the financial terms for a potential fight with top contender Alexander Ustinov (29-1, 21KOs).

In an earlier article on BoxingScene.com, Gregory Stangrit reported that Kimbo-Ustinov was being planned for a date of December 11th at the Dynamo Palace of Sports in Moscow, Russia.

Ustninov is now working with Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov, who issued an offer to Shaw - which the New Jersey promoter felt was extremely low.

"What he offered we get for fighting an hour away from Kimbo's house. What he offered we wouldn't even go to the airport to look at the place. If he adds some zeros to the offer, then we would have something to discuss. It was a very interesting proposition but Kimbo fights for that kind of money only one hour away from his home. If Vlad keeps adding zeros we can discuss something," Shaw told BoxingScene.com. 

When BoxingScene asked Shaw to reveal the offer, the promoter started laughing and said - "I pay more money in tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike."
