    :lol::lol::lol:

    A career high pay day for the first fight? Really? What with ZERO gate money, ZERO HBO money, ZERO German TV money.
    He earnt over around $2 million for the Enzo fight.

    How the **** do you think he will earn more than that for this fight when the ONLY money he is getting is a share of the Setanta PPV money in the UK?

    This is a ***** contract. A clause that Haye has to fight Vitali?

    LOL

    Wlad couldn't beat Sanders so big brother had to do it for him.

    Man I like Wlad but I will be rooting for Haye now.

    Millertime1367 was obviously confused when they said Haye's fee had a lot of zeros...

    Where did you get 35% from? did you watch the video.

    Haye gets a share of setanta money and thats it.

    K2 then controls his 3 next fights.

    Haye packed out the O2 Arena twice fighting guys who arent really considered popular.

    Wlad last appeared at the MSG and got booed and stunk the place out! STFU!

    Where have you got 35% from? Haye is getting nothing but a percentage of UK PPV... nothing from the gate, Germany, US or anywhere else for that matter. Plus the guy is now effectively under K2 for his next 3 fights.

    If you think getting JUST the setanta money will earn Haye his biggest payday you are deluded

    Do the Klitites even read or listen to what is said? He is getting NONE of the gate, NONE of the US sales, German sales and other sales that are made to boxing nations. He is ONLY getting a percentage of UK money, how is this at all fair??? He is surely worth more than this, anyone can see this! The only conclusion one can draw from these negotiations is Klit wanted none of Haye and by making this ridiculous contract he was hoping Haye wouldn't sign, Haye called his bluff. It seems it was a souble bluff of a kind!lol!

    Good point but it says so much more about wlad and K2 than Haye.

    We all knew Haye wanted it, he was shouting from the rooftops about it.

    The contract just speaks volumes!
     
  13. Find me one other comparable deal in history?

    It is an optional defense. If Haye wanted more money he should have fought his way to become a Mandatory where he would get a bigger purse split do to the rules of whatever ABC organization he achieved Mandatory status in.

    Haye did not want to fight his way into a Mandatory he wanted a free shot so his pay should reflect that.

    From the looks of the contract it doesnt sound optional but forced!
