Klitschko gave Sultan Ibragimov 50% for their fight. He actually brought a world title to the table. Haye is bringing nothing but his Glass Jaw and big mouth that is it. Mandatory's usually get 30% which is probably close to what Haye is getting. Haye is lucky he is getting a free shot at two Heavyweight belts with the chance to get another one if he wins.
You know damn well Wladimir does not risk a thing by putting up money when he's fighting in Germany. My god, he gets ridiculous money for fighting bums in Germany. This is a super fight. Wlad fighting in Germany is a big advantage. We all know what can happen there more than any other country. Wlas will be allowed to do his typical safety first holding as well.
To add to what was already said, you guys are forgetting that it was Haye begging for this fight. It was Haye who wasn't able to land the venue in London. Wlad was more than happy to come to Haye's backyard and fight. Haye couldn't land the venue in his own backyard so now it's Wlad's fault and he gets bashed because he has to find a venue? What kind of bull**** is that? Haye said months ago that he was trying to work out a deal where he could fight both brothers... now people are acting surprised and bash Wlad because that is in the contract? David Haye said that is what he wanted! Do you think that if Haye beat Wlad, he would rather rematch Wlad, and fight Vitali... or do you think that he would rather fight Povetkin instead? Come on, let's get real. Of course since Haye couldn't land the venue in London, Wlad is going to get all of the ticket sales in his backyard. He would be selling that place out fighting Brian Minto if he wanted. He sure as hell doesn't need David Haye to sell tickets in Germany. Also, why the hell would David Haye get any of Wlad's money from Wlad's contact with HBO? This **** is silly. David Haye isn't stupid. He knows that he makes more money in this fight than any other. He also knows that the assurance to fight both brothers is the best thing that could happen for him. Another thing that you guys are forgetting is that K2 promotions is flipping the entire bill for everything. Had Haye been able to land his own venue, the promoters were actually supposed to do a co-venture together. However, since now K2 has to do everything, and flip the bill for everything... of course David Haye and his promotional company aren't going to get profits from that aspect of the fight. You guys have to think about stuff like this. Where do you think that K2 is getting the money for all of the promotion from this fight, press tours, venue, employees, payouts, ect....? They have to pay for that and then try to cover the costs with proceeds from the fight's gate, ect... Why then would some challenger, who isn't even a mandatory or even close to it, who had the chance and couldn't even land a venue in his own backyard... get to take profit from that?
Are u ****ing kidding me jeff. You think a stadium or arena just gives the place away.. you are wrong dude... you just assume you know whats going on...just like so many on this thread
Haye could have had it in LONDON...he wouldnt do it... If Wlad didnt step up to secure the arena...there would be NO FIGHT
pity we'll have to watch this fight in another of those snow white german rings...hate those blinding white rings, nearly need sunglasses watching it
Please can you explain exactly how you got to this figure? Because from where I am standing it would appear that you just pulled it directly out of your arse
My evidence is common sense. :thumbsup You act like Haye has been apart of a bunch of mega-fights or something.
:rofl All the usual suspects are here All you Klitites are trying your best..... But the Truth has come out, and it seems Wlad tried everything he could to worm himself out of this fight. His nice guy image seems to have been thrown out of the window
Wlad has flipped the entire bill for the press tours, the venue, ect... all of money spent to promote this fight is coming from Wlad. David Haye couldn't even secure a venue in London, so if Wlad didn't take the entire cost of promotion onto his shoulders, as well as agree to find the venue and flip the cost for that himself, this fight wouldn't even be happening. Besides that, Wlad is the Champ using a VOLUNTARY DEFENSE and chose David Haye as his opponent. Why in the hell would Wlad offer Haye a fight, if he was trying to worm himself out of this fight? He didn't even need to consider fighting Haye, genius. You are acting like he would be stripped of his titles if he didn't fight Haye or something.:nut
Chef I know you have some insider info..... but you seemed to have missed all these BS clauses and the low balling from K2 out of your posts when you were telling Haye to stop being a ***** and sign the contract. Well Haye HAS signed this contract with all these clauses and the fact he gets such a low amount of revenue from the fight. It Kinds of blows your opinion out of the water.... Seems Haye does have balls and isn't just about a payday :think
