There's no way Haye will eat 60-40 after Wlad called him out like that. He could clock two or three 10million + paydays without risking anywhere near the danger level that Wlad brings to the table.
Im just saying that Wlad wants this so bad, i would not be shocked at a 50-50 if it helps wlad get a shot at the WBA belt
Of course there's an argument from one side. One guy is a fighter who has one title defense and one belt. The other has eight title defenses, two belts, and the ring title.
60/40 is the fairest IMO. If Haye is asking for 50/50 he needs his head examined. How long has Wlad been the number guy at Heavyweight for. 5 years now or so. Haye should feel lucky to get 40 and the fight with Wlad.
Funny you keep mentioning about uk ppv sales and all that excuse garbage of the reason Haye should get 50/50 but forgot that if the fight happens, it be on a usa network called hbo in which Haye NEVER EVER!!!! BEEN ON THAT NETWORK IN HIS LIFE. Hell Haye i believe hasn't been on hbo, showtime, espn, versus. Wlad not only sold out german stadiam but didn't he sold out in msg? Lets not forget that Wlad holds the ibf, wbo, ibo ring magazine while Haye holds a paper belt in which that belt should really be given to Wlad since Wlad really beat "the" champion Chagaev.
He probably could actually.....and unlike WALDO I'll bet people actually tune in for the Haye fights :yep 70-30 Haye is the only fair answer to this, he ain't the one that's going to try to turn it into yet another snoozefest.
yeah, I always liked that they handle their career themselves and are concerned for their legacy. I also liked how they always had free HBO fights instead of PPV ****... more fans see it, the better for them... but this aspect somehow went all wrong lately. now they are doing this shitty internet PPV :-( I partly do understand where they come from, but it is a letdown nevertheless.
WALDO may have sold out MSG the once....no ****ing way would he sell out there again after that last fight though.
The real problem, as I see it, is that there is no dispassionate party that can exert any force to help get this fight made. What I means is that if Haye walks away from a good deal, the English Press will find a way to defend him. They will never admit that he walked away from a reasonable deal or that he's ducking Wlad. And the German press? Well, I really don't know about them. The problem is that the Americans are no longer involved. If they were they could exert some pressure on each fighter to help get this deal made. For years Riddick Bowe was pressured by the American press nearly every fight. He was asked: when are you going to fight Lennox? But he walked away and he paid for it dearly in the press. We don't have that now.
