Haye rips Wladimir

Why did he get 50-50 then?

 

This is going to be an embarrassment to Dave when the smoke clears.

 

That's your answer to the question "why does Haye get 50-50 then?"

Cool :huh

 

Why? Even if he was koed inside a round - he just got paid 5x as much as any other Klitschko opponent.

 

Selling out stadiums, even 70k stadiums doesn't bring the big bucks in (taxes, the stadium has to get paid, as well as everyone else getting their cut) and this doesn't take into account the fact that Haye could fill his own 70k stadium in England if he was fighting a Klit, even though most of the British population don't know who the Klits are (the media will hype this fight big-time and millions will be interested in a HW unification, regardless of the opponent). PPV for the big fights is where the real money is at though. Haye brings the British PPV audience with him at £15 a home and quite a bit more per pub/club (he will sell more than usual fighting a Klit admittedly). We're talking record-breaking PPV for this fight, by British standards anyway. No-one else in the division brings the interest, nor the PPV that Haye does, and that is why they'll be settling for 50/50 'cos 100% of nothing from anyone else is still nothing. The Klits don't get paid any more than their usual fees for fighting anyone out there except Haye, and Haye knows he won't get the same numbers fighting anyone else except a Klit.

It's good business all round and I'm sure both parties will be happy with their cut.

 

who was haye knocked out by?

 

Also, Monte Barrett buckled Valuev's knees a little with a huge right early in their fight.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

And Haye has never been knocked down or knocked out?

 

A cruiserweight that's what is funny. Let's see how Haye reacts to one of Wlad's jabs, hooks, or right hand.....

 

Good points, though slightly contradictory -

"...most of the British population don't know who the Klits are" followed by

".....(he will sell more than usual fighting a Klit admittedly). We're talking record-breaking PPV for this fight, by British standards anyway."

 

Come on man, the Klitschkos are as money driven as any other fighter out there. Let's not pretend otherwise

 

Nobody.


His corner retired him on his feet.

 

Pretty much 16 pages of "my dads bigger than your dad." atsch

 

Some classics:

* "Valuev was never hurt before"
* "Haye has a rival TV station in Germany that will outbid RTL"
* "No Klitschko opponent ever got 50%"
* "All previous K opponents had to sign rematch clauses"
