    But i was never one of those debating the 50-50 deal.

    My point is if Haye puts more in Haye gets a larger %. this whole Bunce thing is just a side issue I'm more intrigued by than anything else.

    Haye does not want to fight either Klitschkos period. He knows he will get knocked out in a mismatch. Haye has already broken two contracts with Klitschkos because he is a damned coward.

    Booth is a proven liar, trying to save face.

    No, that is a strawman.

    My belief is that the majority of all income raised from all sources would be generated by Wlad. Haye generates some, Wlad generates more.

    I haven't seen the figures, but I find it hard to believe otherwise.

    As such, it seems that Haye wants more than 50% of the income, despite generating less than 50% of the income. Which is insane.

    I disgree. Hayes ppvs alone will raise a huge amount, ontop of the extra ppv he'll bring in, plus travelling fans and merchandising.

    Why do you think K2 have gone from giving Haye 100% of the UK ppv buys to 50%?

    Emanuel Steward, who trains Wladimir, described Haye perfectly to me recently when we talked about how Haye was outright ducking the brothers. Steward used the analogy of a little dog barking like crazy at a big dog. While the big dog might ignore the little dog for awhile, eventually, when the big dog has had enough and turns its attention toward the little dog, it will cower or run for cover. Haye is the little doggie. All bark. No bite. Filled with hollow words, he's a laughingstock, at least on this side of the pond.

    Did Manny pat you on the back before leaving your padded cell?

    I want to see Vitali or Vlad against Haye. I was so disappointed when Haye backed out. A let down for boxing. Will WBA enforce their rules? Chagaev is his mandatory and Valouev has rematch clause. Haye will fight once in a blue moon.

    Farmy we all want to see it happen, and yes like you I think Haye will be beaten, not too sure about Vitali nowdays though.

    I am more confident in Vitali beating Haye than Vlad, if that's possible. Ask Tony Tubbs about Vitali in sparring years ago in Germany at Universum under Klaus Peter Kohl. Tubbs used to advise Klitschkos, did some sparring. He couldn't believe Vitali's right hand. Vitali takes his time, when he sets down on his punches it is awesome.

    The key words Farmy 'years ago'. Time catches up on all great fighters. I still give Vitali the edge on Haye, but this isn't the guy who stepped into the ring with Lewis anymore. That guy would have blown Haye out in 4 rounds.

    So you think Haye brings more than 50%. In which case I agree he is right to ask for more than 50%.

    I cannot see this as being correct, I maintain that Wlad would be responsible for more than 50% of the revenue generated.

    I would love to see some actual facts and figures, then we will know which is correct.
