• Ludmilla : You call him a killer. He's a professional fighter, not a killer. We are getting death threats. We are not involved in politics. All I want is for my husband to be safe, and to be treated fairly. You have this belief that you are better than us. You have this belief that this country is so very good and we are so very bad. You have this belief that you are so fair and we are so very cruel.

  Nicoli Koloff : It's all lies and false propaganda to support this antagonistic and violent government.

  Nicoli Koloff : Who are you?

  Paulie : Who am I? I'm the unsilent majority, bigmouth.

  Ludmilla : I'm afraid for my husband's life. We have threats of violence everywhere. You call him a killer. He is a professional fighter... not a killer. You have this belief that you are better than us. You have this belief that this country is so very good, and we are so very bad.

• Nicoli Koloff : [at the Creed-Drago press conference]  You are not very realistic, are you, Mr. Creed?

  Apollo : Now who is this guy? Where did you come from?

  Nicoli Koloff : You can box, yes. But you are far too old to think that you can beat Drago.

  Apollo : Is that a fact?

  Nicoli Koloff : Yes. And it could be a painful one!

• Nicoli Koloff : I should say to the press, in all fairness, Drago should not even fight this man. Because he is a has-been.
