What does Haye have to complain about? :huh He has a Unified Champion coming to his backyard for a fight. In reality Haye should have to go to Klitschko or it be in a neutral location like the United States.
a huge draw considering heavyweight is meant to be the premier weight class yet he makes less than a fair few lower weight fighters
I have the idea how boxing works. The Champion make the rules for a voluntary defence. The contender can accept it or shut up. I am not talking about peanuts. Team Klitschko will not play unfair. Wlad had no problems to make the deal with Peter, Byrd, Brock, Austin, Thompson, Ibragimov! Ibragimov was WBO Champion and Austin and Thompson Mandatories. No problems at all. And now David Haye, all he wants is money, too much money i believe.
Haye is entitled to bargain for the best deal he can get.But it doesn't mean he is after a payday and nothing else.It means he wants a better deal if he can get one.He'd be crazy if he didn't
WHAT?? Wlad made close to 13million against Thompson, and around 9.5million if I'm not mistaken against Rahman.
that isn't as much as a few lower weight fighters made from some of their fights in the last year. If a heavyweight is a big draw thye make the most money out of all fighters as it is the marque weight class of the sport.
I don't care what weight class you are in, to make around $22 million, plus whatever he made against Ibragimov in one year clearly shows that he is a huge draw. Totally different sports, I know, but LeBron James made about 14million this year from the Cavs, and another $14million off the court according to Forbes magazine. So Wlad, just in the ring, outearned him.
