    Source? I couldn't find *ANY* quote for that.

    The only word we have is Haye's own statement "I've talked to stations down there and they told me there is more money to be made". That's it! Sorry, Haye's word alone doesn't cut it for me.

    It's obvious to me that Haye simply wants to get rid of Sauerland before taking on the Klits. That's how he maximizes his revenues. Currently he has to give a percentage cut to Sauerland for the co-promotion rights. Let's not forget Valuev was giving away something like 15% to Don King, I wouldn't be surprised if Haye had to pay a hefty price for the voluntary title shot at Valuev to Sauerland/Don King.

    Why should we take the Klitsckos words anymore seriously than Hayes???

    Lets not forget it was Hayemaker and the Klitsckos verbally agreed a deal for the Vitali fight twice only to be sent a completly different contract.

    Like I have said, both are at fault. If you feel Haye is waiting to get rid of Sauerland before he fights a Klitscko, why are you so down on him and slag him of every chance you get??

    Goldenboy will only make money out of Haye when they get him on US TV or fighting in the US.

    Sauerland have a 2 fight option on Haye where they get a percentage of revenue, most of which will come from German TV.. One of those included a Valuev rematch witch both sides decides agaisnt.

    Personally I think both parties have made a decision in the background to hype the fight up, if Haye is on German TV and Wlad is fighting a Brit they are just making more of a profile for the fight. Much the sameway Mayweather v Pacman, they are just playing with the fans to get more money simple as that.

    I thought there was one more Wlad fight covered by the contract?

    David has a vagina he needs to lose first. Hopefully after the Harrison fight he will look to cash in UNLESS Audley lands the destiny on his chin!

    Now I'm confused:huh but its probably because I didn't ask the question clearly:D
    They haven't done the Valuev rematch but they are still with Haye. Is he going to get free of them, and if so, when?

    They have two options on Haye for two fights after Valuev. One was Ruiz, the next is Harrison because they opted not to enforce the rematch clause. Presumably because no one was keen on paying for it a second time around.

    maybe the case but at the same time you can see hayes point vitali will make the same amount of a haye fight as he would have done for the briggs fight , atleast he can get rtl to stump up more money
