    The offer was for more than 50% in Haye's favour (if it does well in the UK) because Wlad is limiting the potential earning from the fight so he can get through the 5 fight deal as quickly as possible to negotiate a better one, he's expecting Haye to accept this fight making less money now so him and his brother can make more in the future.

    His first offer was for a straight 50/50 with the highest bidders getting the fight, Wlad rejected it.

    His deal is worth the same as Haye's, essentially. And that's the point! Haye sold between 400,000-500,000 vs. Ruiz. At 5 pounds a pop, that's about 2 million to 2.5 million pounds. Around the same as the 3 million Wlad gets each fight. But (and here it is so listen) Haye would double those numbers because he would be fighting Wlad for unification. And under his deal he would get 100 percent of the profits that Wlad was partly, even mostly responsible for. It's not that difficult to understand.

    You're the one that seems to be confused.

    Haye offered 50/50 with everything going to the highest bidder but Wlad rejected it because he wants to get the 5 fight deal out of the way as soon as possible so him and his brother can negotiate for more money.

    He expects Haye to lose out on this fight so him and his brother can make more sooner when the 5 fights are out of the way.

    If Haye fights Adamek while Vitali is fighting bums like Sosnowski and Valuev then I wouldn't even offer him 50/50 in future.

    even if Wlad had agreed to fight for the ridiculous ard money they can afford and that Haye can keep 100% of the UK PPV gains Haye would come up with the next ridiculous demand and bull**** excuse.
    Haye wants no part of him as proven various times. either Wlad fights him for free or the fight wont happen :tired

    What are you talking about?

    Wlad offers Haye 50:50 without options and Haye said "no" i want this and than that. And Wlad had to fight his mandatory for the IBF belt.

    And bums like Valuev? This is Haye´s "best win" at heavyweight! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Yu're making this far more complicated than it is. Haye has a deal with Skybox that only really brings in the big bucks when he fights a huge name. If he continues fighting the Ruizs and Chageavs in the division, he makes less than Wlad. Wlad has a fixed deal that pays him 3 million per fight. Haye made about 2.5 million on pay per view against Ruiz. But, if he fights Wlad that figure doubles becuase it's Wlad and its unification. As a result, the Wlad camp asked for an even split of everything, and that was the point at issue. Haye wants to earn more than Wlad.

    It seems the chuckle brothers were happy to sign a £3 million per fight deal while they were recycling bums, but now they've got a good opponent that's a draw they're not happy with their £3 million anymore.

    Keep spinning :good Haye does not deserve to keep all the Sky money when Klitschko's name will be contributing to sales, this is the sticking point.

    Haye wants them both to earn as much as possible which is why he wants the fights to go to the highest bidders in each country, Wlad rejected that because he wants his deal with RTL out of the way as soon as possible meaning he can negotiate a new deal for more money.

    So Haye put forward a compromise and Wlad rejected that too.

    As far as we know Wlad didn't offer anything up as a compromise.

    He only put that forward as Wlad doesn't want the fight to go to the highest bidder as he wants to get the fights out of the way with RTL so he can negotiate a new deal for more money with them.

    Wlad can half of the money Haye brings in from the highest UK bidder as long as Wlad agreed to Haye having half from the highest German bidder, Wlad rejected.

    No, Adamek would not be a meaningless fight but it's not the same as a fight against the Klitschkos would be.

    That it is.

    The rest of the World will always consider Haye a 2nd rate fighter and one of if not the BIGGEST ducker in the history of this sport!
