One of the copies in the Exhibition Museum of Klichko brothers’ Achievements is the first professional contract of the legendary two-time heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. The agreement was signed with BC Flensburg in 1995, and his conditions, considering the further Wladimir’s career of Vladimir, look rather modest.
So Wladimir’s salary was 1000 Deutschmarks a month (about $600), plus for every fight he received a thousand more. For the victory there was an additional bonus of 500 Deutschmarks, and for winning by knockout, another five hundred.
There is an interesting note: if Vladimir wins all bouts in the Bundesliga season by knockout, he will receive a reward of 10,000 Deutschmarks.
