    Instead of insulting me why not look at the bigger picture? You have a photo of Mr David Haye as your sig so I'd guess you're slightly biased in this?

    It's pretty clear to see that Haye isn't really 'the' heavyweight world champion.

    I like David Haye. I also like Wladimir Klitschko. A 50/50 split for this fight is fine. Wlad brings more to the table from a boxing point of view, he is the world number 1. I think we all accept that Haye brings a lot of much needed publicity to this fight and therefore deserves a split of the money it would make though.

    I'm not gonna pretend I know what's going in all of these talked up contracts but the fact of the matter is the fight hasn't happened yet.

    Who's at fault for that I couldn't really give a toss. They can call each other bitches as much as they want, I and the rest of the world just wants them to fight asap.

    Which means he's at 75% - which is pretty high whichever way you cut it.

    Haye's KO% at Heavyweight is 80%, that's the fact whether or not you add your bias opinion.

    That last bit is true I remember watching it.

    He said they would do that then as 'it is peanuts'.

    Why the difference now?

    Previously Haye was ducking/stopping the fight from happening. This time its the Klitsckos. Theres no bias.

    you say 50/50 split is fair....thats what Haye has offered to Wlad?? Its Klitsckos not accepting so I don't get what your moaning about.

    What either man brings to the table in boxing terms is irrelevant. Only 10% of the people watching the fight will know what the lineal title is. Haye brings millions of £££ to the table, as much and maybe even more than Wlad. Thats why its 50-50.

    Haye did not offer Wlad 50-50, Wlad offered Haye 50-50 which he is yet to agree to.

    Now Booth is asking for Wlad to pay the difference between what RTL and another rival tv station will pay, he hasn't however provided proof of which tv station is paying more and what amount they are offering. Why would Wlad agree to this? Booth can just pull a figure out of his ass to get more money out of Klitschko. If he can provide proof then I can't see Wlad refusing but this looks like yet more bull**** and doubletalk from that arsehole Booth.

    It's Wlad who has made all the concessions here, not Haye. He is offering Haye a lot more than he deserves, he is not looking for options, he is willing to fight in the UK. The ball is still in Haye's court.

    But they offered a 50/50 split a year ago? Yet we all know Haye rejected so he could make money fighting Audley Harrison instead. I know Haye never really wanted the fight with Audley but it made money and him and his people took it. They can't now just quickly offer 50/50 again whilst Wlad's apparently injured and expect the Klitschko's to just go along with whatever they say now. Wlad's the #1 and he's always wanted to challenge Haye. David Haye should be the one making the concessions to any contract. Then he'll moan about it being a slave contract yet he's still paying Kalle Sauerland a portion from his fights due to the contract against Valuev.

    Haye is making concessions he is giving up 50% of the UK PPV which is by far the highest amount of money coming into the fight.

    Wlads injury does not affect a fight in April?

    again Wlad being number 1 is a meaningless and pointless argument. Come up with something else to hate on Haye because it just seems you have an agenda.

    Haye will never see anywhere near the ppv numbers he got against Valuev and Harrison unless he fights a Klitschko so that's not really a concession, without Klitschko he is no longer a big ppv star.
