this only works if you assume that Haye is worth 50/50 in the first place, which he's not. He has no business bargaining past 50/50.
Which German TV station is ready and willing to pay more than 3 million EUROs for Wlad - Haye? PLEASE NAME STATION NAME & AMOUNT THEY OFFERED!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait. There is no other magical bidder? There is no Geman TV station that has the financial means to "outbid" RTL's 3 million Euros??? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING????
And the whole idea that Haye is solely responsible for the UK PPV numbers is flawed as well, I've seen a lot of disgruntled Brits saying they'd never look at Haye again if he fought Harrison. They don't want to see David's oiled up tits, they want to see him fight a Klitschko. They're as much a draw in this matchup as he is.
Come on man... i know there is a brain in there somewhere!!! Did Hatton deserve 50% against Mayweather up at WW when Mayweather was the WBC champ and Hatton had only fought there once before? No but because of the money the brits bring to a fight he got 50-50 because it's a business decision not about who is the better boxer holding the most belts... what do you not understand about that? UK PPV could generate in the realms of £15m.... Wlads TV deal will likely be around £3m... you do the ****ing maths... if you can
If so then there is no reason why Wlad shouldn't agree to each fighter keeping their countries respective tv money then should there?
What other offers did haye have then?? Were they better than rtl and if so where is the proof?? Wlad recently said this "So I spoke out directly to the boxing fans and to David Haye. Just lets make it. The deal, it doesnt matter. 50-50, I agree with that. Just lets make it. Lets do it. I was open because the money is not an issue at a certain stage of my career. The challenge and the excitement about the sport, thats an issue, and we have a huge fan base for this sport and I just want it so that we have one heavyweight champion who unifies all the titles and all the belts. David, lets make it!" Now haye has responded saying there was no 50/50?? WTF!! Haye said twice he wanted 50/50 of the maximum takings?? Whats he going on about, is he trying to use the word maximum to confuse matters to wiggle himself out of this i wonder? Why would wlad lie about offering haye 50/50, i dont think he would but is haye lying then?
One of the big selling points of fight is that is is against one of the klits, its not just haye driving the sales in the UK, BOTH of them are, does he not realise this?
No it's not he wants more than 50%. I don't understand how you can even deny this, he admits it on video.
Why should Wlad get 50% of money that Haye has generated though? Wlad isn't bringing anything to the table, yet he wants a sizable chunk out of what Haye is bringing. Now how is that fair?
