But Wlad being Haye's opponent on UK PPV will probably double the last PPV sales against Harrison. So if you ask me, Wlad is responsible for, and is entitled to half of the UK income................most certainly.
This entire thing....Booth coming out and offering 50/50....it just doesn't pass the smell test to me. Something seems very fishy about it. Why? Well, because it's been what, an entire year that Haye has constantly refused a 50/50 offer from Wlad. Now, all of the sudden they come out and say "we agree, let's fight". Ya, right! Come on guys, there is something else going on here, and my guess is that it's shenanigans on the part of Booth & Haye. Sure they may have agreed to 50/50, but what were the terms? "Wlad must fight with one hand behind his back"....you get the point. We'll have to wait and see how this all unfolds from BOTH SIDES to see what the real offer from Booth is, anyone saying Wlad is ducking now is simply jumping the gun, and clearly biased. edit: The problem is that Booth wants Klitschko to pay for the difference between what RTL would pay for the fight, and a "phantom" offer from ARD. There is absolutely no proof that ARD would pay more, and Booth won't provide a signed contract from ARD for the Klitschko side to see. The only thing Booth has shown to the Klitschko side is EMAILS from Saurland saying that they could get more money from ARD...but this is just Saurland's word, there is NO OFFER (that anyone has ever seen, and if it did exist, surely they would show it) from ARD. So there you go, once again pure shenanigans on the part of Booth & Haye.
Anyone with half a brain would be suspicious. The only way I can imagine haye agreeing to anything that had been a sticking point, is if he had devised a new sticking point to replace it. That way he can delay infinitely, while still riding the Klitschko name. And who lets him get away with this behaviour? His fans, who have so little self-respect that they believe they deserve to be treated so badly.
Listen, you absolute moron. I am only going to say this once. David Haye has a great PPV deal in the UK bringing in a **** LOAD more money than Wladamir does from his German TV deal. Do you understand? Why do you think Wladamir wanted half of Haye's TV money?
If the offer is not legit and is all smoke and mirrors, I am sure we will see a K2 representative saying so in the next few days. Let's wait and see.
Haye's ppv deal is worth **** all after the Harrison fiasco. The only way he gets near the sales Valuev or Harrison did is if he fights a Klitschko. I wouldn't be surprised if Sky dropped him from ppv if he doesn't get a fight made with one of them. A unification between Klitschko and Haye will be huge, Wlad deserves his share.
Boente has already said essentially this. Boente stated that he has asked to see the offer, but all he gets are emails between Booth and Saurland (which are of course worthless).
Are you serious? No, you can't be. What you have written above is among the stupidest statements I have ever read. Ever.
What's stupid? That Haye's popularity and credibilty has taken a dive since the joke of a fight with Harrison? That there's been rumours of match fixing and he admitted to betting on his own fight? You think after all this Sky will keep hyping up him fighting old bums and ask customers to pay £15 to see it if a Klitschko fight does not come off? The only reason Haye got a ppv deal was because he created a lot of hype promising to dethrone the Klitschkos. If he doesn't fight either of them he will lose the remaining fans he has, that's why he seems eager to take the fight now, either that or he wants to seem eager to take it and is looking for a way to put the blame on Klitschko for the fight not happening.
Why is Boente now saying "Booth wants us to pay the difference between an ARD offer and the RTE offer" when it was Boente himself who OFFERED to pay the difference live on Sky TV just a few weeks ago?:rofl:rofl:rofl
