    Makes sense to me. And then the better man can make a better match-up for Wlad.

    I'm not going to read through the whole thread to see if anyone brought up the point that obviously Boothe is admitting to conspiring to spread a lie with Bunce with the "No 50/50 was offered" line? You believe him NOW though?

    :think



    OK. Just checking.

    we'll see
    Besides, Adamek fight is far from guaranteed. As I said, too high risk/return....
    A-Farce is on the cards I believe... Low risk, tons of money from delusional British PPV buyers - Haye's signature style...

    Ring Magazine heavyweight title lacks credibility since their own editor cut out their own rankings panel to 'decide' to award it to Wlad after his camp had been on the phone lobbying for him to do so.

    They have to. They have a major contract with RTL. Ard could never match the cash RTL can give. Booth knows damn well the brothers have a contract with RTL and cant have a fight on another station.

    That would be like the brothers demanding that Haye put a fight on another network even if he has a contract with Sky. Haye would not be able to do it just like the brothers cant... Booth knows this:patsch

    The brothers cannot be on german TV other then RTL.... just like Haye and Sky...like I said..Booth knows this... sounds like a demand that booth knows full well the brothers HAVE to say NO to.

    They aren't asking for the fight to be on any other channel, just that the one which brings the most money, shows it. If all stations bid and RTL wins, which it would, they'd show it on there. It seems to be a formality, just to keep the Sauerland network sweet and at least say "We gave you a chance".

    That's all this is. RTL would win, so they should go ahead with that.

    Yeah, Apples and Oranges man. RTL, ARD ... either way doesn't mean Haye gets all the PPV $$ skewing the contract in his favor even though he's already being offered more then his fair share. Haye should have taken the contract. :deal

    Give the ****er an Inch and he wants a Yard - :nono

    Everything I've read, has said it's a five fight deal, not nessecarily the next five fights.

    There's no way Booth would demand this, if the Klitschko's didn't have room to move. It would be totally ridiculous.

    Funny. The Haye fans keep saying.."whats a couple bucks to wlad... he should just sign"...**** Haye got what he wanted off the bat with 50-50 NO OPTIONS..but that still not good enough. Why cant Haye put in a couple bucks from Sky? If Haye wants the fight as bad as he has been saying for 2 years, why is he not jumping at it?

    no instead.. haye wants to dictate what TV station the fight should be on in Germany when he knows the brothers are under contact with RTL


    Im not buying this **** at all. Wlad wants the fight and is willing to put EVERYTHING into the pot with NO options but Haye isnt. simple as that

    Haye thinks he the top dog... he has a new promotional company... let him take on all the costs of the promotion and lets see his offer to the brothers since he seems so unhappy with every contract

    I posted a link (with Google translator) where the RTL sports division vice-president was asked if RTL would allow Klitschko to box on ARD in order to unify the belt with Valuev (in 2007).

    RTL replied "Of course not, there's no way we could agree to such an arrangement. We have an exclusivity agreement with the Klitschkos. They fight on our channel only."

    This is how the Valuev fight was derailed in 2007.

    Does that answer it? Let me know if you need me to dig out the link for you, in case you think I am making this up.

    you dont get it. it doesnt matter who brings in the most. the brothers are under contract.... they cant do it

    let say Sentanta was still around.... that would be like the brothers asking haye to get the top bidder out of Sky and Sentanta even though the brothers know Haye cannot fight on sentanta because he has a contract with Sky that forbids it

    Does it make sense?...NO... so why is Booth asking for something he knows damn well the brothers have NO CHOICE but to say NO to.. maybe because he doesnt want the fight:think

    I just want to back you up the that new 5 fight contract they signed is nothing new, it's just an extension of the contract you are speaking of. :good
