Maybe overseas but in the UK he will make pretty much the same (and that is **** loads). If he lost against the 1 of the Klits he would make pretty much nothing because at the moment he makes money from casual fans for being HW champ and maybe being the best. If he wasn't "possibly" the best he wouldn't earn half as much.
stupid haye will never ever earn more then a klitschko the klitschko sosnowski fight generated 24 mil euro sosnowski got 1 mil, the costs were about 7 mil, so vitali got 16 mil... and wlad made for the chagaev fight about 15 mil
Neither, in my opinion. I think Haye has serious entitlement issues that make him act like a diva. I don't think he is truly scared, when he wasn't trash talking, he made some realistic assessments about how he would match up with the Klitschkos, acknowledging that they could KO him if he doesn't excecute a gameplan perfectly. He didn't seem scared to me and he sure as hell isn't clever. I think he simply has an out of control ego.
He is stretching out his run as long as he can... Eventually he will fight a Klit or both, If he don't get KTFO beforehand. (One loss and he is gone, IMO.)
I think it's turned in to a bit of a ploy by bothe Klits and Haye, milking it so that it becomes one of the highest grossing fights in European sports history. The longer they verbally trade off then the more interest it gains and the more money both parties will make. They'll fight just before we get bored of the shite. The minute we stop talking about it will be the time they sign the fight
I don't think Haye's scared but he's obviously aware of the fact that getting in the ring with either brother is a massive risk. He's marketed here in the UK as 'heavyweight champion' when in reality he's just a beltholder, and he's milking this status for all it's worth before he faces the possibility (or probability) of losing. It's worked to some extent. The average guy here didn't know who David Haye was when he was signed to face Wlad, now he's much more well-known. And his bank balance is no doubt looking a lot healthier. Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but after all the trashtalking, and coming out with absolute **** for years... being the self-proclaimed "saviour of the heavyweight division" who's here to "KO all these slobs and Eastern European robots," etc, etc, only to pull out of fights against both Wlad and Vitali, and then fight Valuev, Ruiz and Audley ****ing Harrison... Do I think he'll eventually fight a Klitschko? Yes. In fact, I think all this waiting about will probably mean that a fight against Wlad or Vitali will be a much bigger event, certainly in the UK, if not internationally. But the route he's taken has turned him into a bit of a laughing stock, and he's gonna look like a complete dick if he gets KO'd.
Well, clever as in he's making as much money as he can before he puts his title on the line, as well as raising his profile a bit. But that doesn't mean I agree with it. It's a poor move and he should be man enough to back up 2 years worth trashtalking. **** 50-50, Wlad is the champ, he deserves the majority share.
