I haven't heard that but sounds good. I wonder how much Briggs made with that Zivair asthma deal.. It got pretty much publicity, at least in YT.
Again it's 50\50. While Vitaly didn't make 16 million for Sosnowski(it was 9) he did earn a considerable more than Haye for Harrison. You have to remember 1- Haye has to pay to Saurland for 2(?) more fights. If you give everything 50\50 and then give haye 100% of PPV and Vitaly will get 100% of RTL Haye will end up with more. It's basic math how can't you understand that? Haye holds for his PPV because it is his main income source while for brothers it is sponsorship and advertisement. For example Nemiroff payed 1 million per fight to have their logo printed on canvas and being presented as main sponsor. They do make more money then Haye. Odd thing that gap is not that big(it should 5-10 times bigger) only because Brits whiling to pay for his crap.
Just for the record, 99% of those who hang off Haye's nutsack are British. If he wasn't British you guys would be calling him on his bull****. If the Klitschkos had the Union Jack on their trunks you would all do a U turn on your opinion of them. Can anyone name another fighter who employed the "boring" style that the Brits love mocking the Klitschkos for using? Lennox Lewis anybody? You guys call the Klitschkos opponents bums and at the same time try to big up Haye for fighting some of the oldest, slowest, non skilled fighters the division has to offer. You make up **** constantly about how much money your hero makes, not only do you people let him rip you off but you actually applaud him for it. And all because he was born on the same rock as you pack of deluded ****s. atsch
Seriously though, would the Brits valiantly defend Haye's antics if he wasn't British but if he was Philippine or Argentinian? Folks this is professional boxing. These guys are not boxing for a flag, they box for a purse. These guys (Klitschko, Haye, all of them) do not give a rat's ass about you or me other than us boxing fans filling their bank accounts. Leave your national pride for the world cup or amateur boxing if you will.
It's a mandatory, holyfield isn't even ranked 1. Ruslan Chagaev 2. Nicolay Valuev 3. Dennis Boytsov 4. Alexander Ustinov 5. Alexander Povetkin 6. Hasim Rahman 7. Timur Ibragimov 8. Alexander Dimitrenko 9. Kali Meehan 10. Tomasz Adamek So if they succesfully duck Chagaev he'll either have to wait around for Valuev (most likely scenario given Haye's lack of testicles and the WBA corruption) or fight Boytsov. I can't imagine Haye fighting Boytsov either. again it's a mandatory, rankings above
That really makes sense Mr Loughlan. I mostly agree here. But this is also a good point: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbHW5I81Opc&hd=1[/ame] Your Larry
:blood Chagaev vs Haye is a VERY close fight that I'd not be sure who to pick. I bet Haye is also aware that Chag has a good shot at taking the title back if he is forced to face him.
In other breaking news: Adamek has quite a few Polish fans David Tua surprisingly has a large fan base in New Zealand and Samoa The Klitschko brothers have large followings in the Ukraine and Eastern Europe Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins have mostly US based fans.
As far as your second sentence is concerned,if Haye weren't English,would he get the same love from English fight fans?Hmmmm.Doubt it.
Exactly. PPV numbers will be generated by both. Why should haye be the only one to take money? I doubt Haye can hit 1million buys in uk without brothers.
