    Just seen an interview with Vitali Klit on my sky sports app. He says he wants to fight Haye next and he is ready for the fight to take place in the USA, Germany or Great Britain: 'whichever place offers the most money'. Also says he is ready to sign a 50-50 contract.

    He says he wants the fight because Wlad will 'kill him'.

    How can Haye say no to this offer? It's hard to justify it if he does IMO.

    I reckon they'll do one in Germany, and one over here.

    Vitali was unwilling to share the bratwurst sales at the venue and the fight collapsed.

    Yep, Vitali didn't withdraw his ridiculous 50/50 demands as to bratwurst sales.

    Haye has a much better chance against old man Vitaly methinks.
    As for the 50-50 contract I thought the stumbling block was Haye being unwilling to do that on the UK pay per view? As in germany its terrestial.

    I disagree, I think Wlad is the easier fight, once Haye connects Wlad will be sleeping, not so sure about Vitali. I think Vitali knows this and thats why he is taking the fight.

    Yep, Boro. Vitali would seem the better first fight.

    Haye wants 100% of the UK PPV and offers the Klitschkos 100% of the German TV revenue. The Klitschkos demand 50% of the overall revenue.

    Ha, I agree that Vitali is the much easier fight. I doubt Vitali's post-comeback style (arms around his eggs) will work against Haye's speed. And keeping his hands that low enables him to save energy and allows him to throw unpredictable punches (e. g. the left hook you don't see). 50/50 fight.

    A 50-50 share of the overall revenue seems fair to me.

    What VK seems to be offering is far from a 'slave' contract (of course this is only an interview and not official).

    I'm not sure. This could easily be held in Wembley stadium IMO.

    Then there's the possiblity of it happening in the US (seems fairer to me as it's neutral). I feel the US public will want to see this. After all it is a unification HW title fight.

    The contentious point I believe is that the UK revenue is worth more than the German terrestial revenue. So 50/50 favours the Klits. Still think Haye should compromise some though.

    Wrong. The Klitschkos fill stadiums but ticket prices are MUCH lower than in GB - not just in boxing, but in any sport.

    And the British PPV sales would be lower if the fight was held in Germany.
