Oh it's the good old "RTL wasn't the most money from Germany" excuse. Didn't we hear all that **** 2 months ago? If this was supposed to be the "big announcement" where Hayemaker "vowed to reveal all" then it's all the same old BS. This isn't exactly news and it makes just as little sense today. He's the *****, nobody else.
So the truth came out. Haye is more than right, his offer was more than acceptable. When mayweather fought Ricky Hatton, Hatton kept all of the UK box office money. Mayweather didn't get a cent out of the UK money generated. Like wise Hatton didn't get a penny of US ppv sales. Klitz are to greedy for their own good.
Both of those deals are fair, I think. 50/50 eveywhere with the highest bidder taking the fight. If that's RTL, so be it. If Klitschko didn't want to switch networks, then Klitschko keeps all the German TV money, Haye keeps the UK money and the rest is 50/50. Both are good deals.
No opponent, he said they will announce that soon, "whoever that may be". He just keeps talking up his record and complains the Klitschkos are boxing "old have-beens" while he himself has a spectacular record Haye is becoming more and more delusional. Seems he took a page out of James Toney's book.
He didn't say his resume is specatcular, he said it solid and he happy with it. Don't twist things to fit your bias agenda.
No it was not "acceptable". We have discussed this here on the forum about 2 months ago and the consensus view here on the board - even among the UK/Haye fans - was that there was no more TV money to be made from Germany than from Klitschko's RTL contract. Period. End of story. Read the old threads, it's all been discussed back and forth.
WTF! That's why he bitched out? Really? It's not that he's scared, he wants Wlad to breach his contract with RTL so he can earn a bit more with another party... "I'm not in it for the money, but for the memory of the fighters of old like Ali, Louis... bah, blah, blah..." hypocrit!
Why is it fair for Vlad to keep the majority of the germany tv money but haye cant keep the majority of the UK money? Ricky Hatton kept all of the ppv money in england. Mayweather didn't get a penny.
I agree with that. He'd the best and most deserving contender to a unified title next to the brothers. That's why they offered him 50/50 no options but unfortunately Haye went into hiding immediately until they found other opponents. Now he supposedly "explains" everything - after the Klitschkos have announced and signed other fighters. We've heard the "German TV money from RTL isn't good enough" story from Bunce and Booth months ago, I think it was in June. It wasn't convincing then and it isn't now.
