I wonder if Charlie and Meryl will stay to watch the game? Maybe, we will get more pictures.

Maks is in the entertainment world. Even in his business pursuits, he needs to be making connections as much as possible. In every small city in this nation we have a chamber of commerce and one of its functions is to get people together to network. It is very possible that ICM, Maks's new representation, suggested that he go to this Italy event for the exposure. Mark Cuban, the owner of the plane, and Muhammed Ali are also ICM clients.

I know that I am going to sound testy here, but how do we think that Maks is going to move forward and grow his businesses when he is losing his major publicity platform, DWTS. Maks has repeatedly stated that having such a big stage on DWTS for 9 years has been a huge boost to his career. Part of his job, part of the job of any savy business person is to be out and about and making connections.

Here is where I am having a very hard time about all the nasty comments being made about Maks as a person. First, we are a very long way from having the majority much less all the pertinent information necessary to arrive at a legitimate conclusion; but we are treating speculation as if it were true. Second, do we honestly believe that Maks did not talk with Meryl about all of this? Do we honestly believe that this young man would intentionally disrespect anyone the way some now believe now think he is disrespecting Meryl? And do we honestly believe that he would make the decision not to be a pro dancer any longer on DWTS before the finale and stick to this decision all through negotiations with DWTS only to turn around and trash Meryl by taking up with a bikini model? Devin actually co-owns with another young woman, the bikini swim suit company for which she models. The financial ramifications of deciding not to be a pro again are enormous. Yes, Maks co-owns dance studios; but these dance studios also support a lot of people. To keep them viable and to grow his businesses, Maks has to stay current and ito stay in the public eye if he is to grow his business concerns.

Amen Kos!!! and when asked why he won't return as a dancer ...his answer "I would feel like I was cheating on Meryl".....the man can't handle the thought of cheating on her even in just a dance; so why would he cheat on her romantically????? that would mean so much more to him than a dance and he can't even "cheat" on her by simply dancing with another celeb on DWTS...to the point he gave up his career his biggest source of income not only for himself but his family...and remember him and Val's motto "fam over everything" ....Meryl has to mean alot to him for him to put her over his fam like that

KOS:

Hope this wasn't aimed at me.....I said nothing disrespectful....just taking a break.

No, it was not directed at you or your decision to take a break. You are respectful. I honestly did not have any specific person in mind.

It didn't sound to me like you had anyone in mind either. You'll be ok, gunner.

I looked at Maks' twitter or instagram page and someone asked why he didn't take Meryl to this 5-day event. I'm wondering about that too. Anyone have an answer for me?

First, I have no idea whether or not he asked her to go. Second, what I do know is that before DWTS Meryl and Charlie knew that at least for a year, perhaps more , they would have commitments related to their gold medal win and to their home state. All additional possibilities would have to fit around those commitments. Tonight Meryl and Charlie are going to be at the Tigers game and throwing out the first pitch. Third, what I do know is Meryl and Charlie are committed to finishing their degrees. It is true that Meryl is taking on line courses. But it is also true that she has to balance her course work with all these obligations. And let's not forget that she has dyslexia, which she has learned to work with but which does not just disappear. And on Mon. she has to be in Chicago. No pros are scheduled at any of the three cities. So Maks did not turn down the opportunity to go. What I also know is that Mark Cuban and Muhammed Ali are also represented by ICM, Maks's new representation. Finally, I have no proof and I have seen no proof that Maks invited Devin to go with him and plunkied down another $50,000.
well said Kos!!

And I forgot about Meryl and Charlie's hospital commitment, which someone else has mentioned.
