Coming Soon to You on Pay-per-Drew: Drew Peterson is Spoiling for a Fight

Well, it looks like things were quiet for too long, a mere few days!  Peterson is cranking up not only that celeb machine, but the money-making machine as well.  Of course, any money he makes from yet another one of his ventures isn’t for him, it’s his children, he claims, that will ultimately cash in.

Defending the lady's honor...for cash?

Peterson May Fight GF’s ex-BF

(WBBM) – Drew Peterson says West Coast promoters may set up a fight between him and his live-in girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend. It is the latest twist in a sideshow that’s almost a year and a half old now. Drew Peterson says he has been challenged to a fight by his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend. “Let him put his money where his mouth is and see what he’s got. Actually, he’s been kind of nuisancy to her and the guy was stalking her.” Peterson’s girlfriend is Christina Raines, 24.

Trained as a police officer, 55-year-old Peterson says it’s been 35 years since he was in a fight. “I mean, it’s going to be interesting watching me take on a guy 25 years my junior. But we’ll see how it goes.” WBBM asked Peterson what he’d do with his share of the money: keep it or give it to charity. “My biggest charity is my children. So if anything develops or if I make any money from it, anything would be for their future.” Peterson is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy, and his third wife died under mysterious circumstances.

UPDATE: 3/5/09

There has been some confusion about who originally challenged whom to this fight.
In an attempt to clear this up I emailed Sherman at Q101, who replied and explained that the clips posted on the Q101 site are incomplete. They omit the part of the interview where Mike challenged Drew, right before Drew called in to the station.

He included an MP3 of the missing part.

TRANSCRIPT:

SHERMAN: If Drew was listening right now, what would you want to say to him?

MIKE: I just think, I think that he’s a scumbag. That’s it, and I think that… He aggravates me so much on this with the fact that he has screwed up her head so bad. I mean, I’m not jealous of the fact that I got broken up with because everybody gets broken up with. People are married for thirty years who get broken up with. Who cares? My biggest thing is I’m just so, so aggravated at what he’s doing to her that I just, seriously, I would love to get in a boxing ring with this guy. I would love just to throw on gloves and just go like four of six rounds with him.

SHERMAN: That much, huh?

MIKE: Yes. That’s what I want to do. Yeah. I would love to do that.

Drew Peterson Challenges Fiancée’s Ex to an Ultimate Fight Match.

"Hands and feet!"

This morning, Drew Peterson called in to the Sherman and Tingle show at Q101 while they were talking to Mike Siuda, the ex-boyfriend of Chrissy Raines. My guess was that Drew must already have a venue booked for the Geraldo fight and he’s afraid of losing his deposit, but Sherman assures me that Drew’s call was a complete surprise and that Q101 is now working on getting a venue for this latest stunt. *sigh*

The one thing about their conversation that interested me (besides Chrissy constantly yelling in the background) was Mike’s accusation that Drew had illegally gotten information on his legal standing. More interesting was Drew’s admission that this is true: “You’ve been checked on, brother.”

As usual, I transcribed the crap out of it. I can’t tell a Sherman from a Tingle so I did my best…
*****************************

S or T: We have in the studio right now, Mike, who is the ex-boyfriend of Christina Raines who is now Drew Peterson’s fiancée.
S or T: Actually we have Drew Peterson on the line right now. This is truly Drew Peterson?

PETERSON: This is truly Drew Peterson:

S or T: Alright, let’s have a conversation. Drew Peterson, we appreciate you calling up. Do you have anything you’d like to reply back to Mike that’s in the studio right now?

PETERSON: Well obviously she didn’t leave him to be with me. She left him because she didn’t want to be with him anymore and she had to put up with him stalking her. She had to put up with coming home drunk and one night he threw her and the two kids out in the cold at 2 o’clock in the morning.

SIUDA: Is that really how it happened? Is it?

PETERSON: The constant fighting. Coming home and cutting up her clothes, the stalking and pulling her out of bars…

S or T: Did you ever cut up any clothes?

SIUDA: Never. Never ever. Never

S or T: Did you stalk at all?

SIUDA: No. there was never any stalking. There was never any anything. You know you were the problem and why she left. You know exactly.

PETERSON: Do you have an order of protection on you from a prior girlfriend?

SIUDA: I have no idea. No I don’t, actually.

PETERSON: I think you do!

SIUDA: How would you know that?

PETERSON: Because you’ve been checked on, brother.

SIUDA: Oh, I know. You looked into my private records because you’re a scumbag.

PETERSON: [Laughing]
