Billionaire Brawl: Russian tycoon fist fight erupts on talk show

by RussiaToday on Sep 18, 2011

The audience at a Russian talk show got more than there money's worth when a debate on the financial crisis ended up in a fist fight. Two super-rich tycoons came to blows after a difference of opinion. Aleksandr Lebedev, the owner of two British newspapers, punched fellow billionaire Sergey Polonsky during the recording of a discussion on one of Russia's main channels. He said he was defending himself, claiming he thought he was going to be attacked first. Moments earlier, Polonsky had told Lebedev he wanted to 'punch him in the face'. Lebedev angrily stood up as the other businessman attempted to calm him, moments later punching Polonsky twice and sending him sprawling from his chair. The NTV channel which posted the programme's preview on its website, is planning to broadcast the show Sunday night.
