    Winner takes 100% of the profits. If Haye really is that confident in himself, he would go for that offer. That alone could be the highest promotional tool for such a fight.

    I'm surprised by the lack of support for this option.

    Wlad knows what he is worth for a fight. He won't fight for less. Why should he? Haye does have a punchers chance. Haye would NEVER do it. He already pulled out at the thought of not getting paid already, so we know his answer.

    No fighters, rightfully, would go for a winner takes all. I don't think it's ever happened in the history of boxing. These guys are risking their lives in there and you're expecting them to do it for free?

    both fighters, would always have that worry if they lose, so they would just be wasting the health for absolute nothing

    i am in favour of 60 - 40 to the winner by ko, considering that both guys claim they will knock the other out!

    this is some ignorant caveman type logic, so 2 guys train for 2-3 months for a fight that they both put their lives on the line top entertain us, in a sport that literally one punch can take you from getting your ass kicked to winning by bruital ko, and they should agree to potentially get unlucky and do it for free, wow, your obviously a very simple guy who has never boxed before, theirs alot like you on this site unfortunately

    50/50 from the gate then Wlad takes all money from German subscribers, while Haye 100% from British

    Do you know how dirty a fight would get if the odds were winner takes all?

    Do you know how much more marketable and exciting a fight would be with both fighters agreeing to winner take all? It would also speak volumes about the fighters true intentions and guts.

    Also, Freddie Roach proposed a winner take all fight between Pac and Mayweather. Or has he not been around boxing long enough to make that kind of offer?
