    I agree Rushman. 1 million ppv buys in the UK is a hard figure to match let alone the extras Haye has. But I'd like to see the extras Wlad generates.

    I remember arguing a while back with a guy who said Wlad made $18 million for the Chambers fight, where is he now?:lol:

    Come out come out wherever you are....

    When Haye back out, Vlad still drew 65,000 fans for his fight with Chagaev.

    Vitali can go 12 hard rounds without any problem. He will retire whenever he feels he needs to. He really wants the fight with Haye, but won't happen. He will probably fight Solis before he retires.

    There were 65k tickets sold in 2 days for Klitscko vs Haye. When Haye backed out people just kept there tickets and went or didnt show up. Me and 3 friends had tickets and it was impossible to cancel them.

    Klitsckos never did a stadium before Haye came along. Haye and the t shirts sold that fight. Whatever you think about them, it was great promotion and raised the profile of Haye and the brothers.

    Alsi ticket prices in the UK are higher and the pound is worth more than the euro. 50,000 seats in Germany is the equivilent of 30,000 for Haye in the UK.

    You can say Haye is ducking but you cant say he doesnt bring allot
    of money to the table. 50-50 was a fair offer, so was Hayes offer. Both should have accepted you cannot defend Haye or Klitscko.

    Vitali should just offer Haye 60-40 to get him into a ring, but Haye would then want 70-30, ad infinitum, same with Vlad. Klitschkos are the real champions, Haye is paper only. Chagaev was the WBC champion, Vlad beat him. Haye will not even fight Chagaev, who will knock him out, so would Adamek. Audley anyone?

    Are you stupid or just stirring the pot?

    1) Sky would never give Haye $10 million.

    2) Wlad has already bid over $8 million for povetkin who's not half as popular has Haye.

    Typical bloody Haye sack sucking fanboy making **** up again :bart

    Actually with the current exchange rate it's 42,000 on a like for like scale dumbass.

    But when you factor in German seats are more expensive than UK seats due to the fact Wlad fans are wealthier than the white trash council estate budget seat buying filth that follow Haye Wlad in a german stadium makesmore cash than in a UK one.

    Wtf do you think Haye cannot outbid Wlad for the fight to be UK staged huh? Think think think!!! before you open your mouth.

    this is simple people. both offers are fair.

    but wlad has the right to do what he wants as he is the champ. haye also has the right to fight for whatever he wants as he has free will.

    if haye or k2 retire and the fights dont come off then we can throw around claims of wlad ducking haye or haye ducking wlad, but as it is these two could still fight next year.

    vitali is well known over here due to the lewis fight, so that would be more likely to be 50-50, lets see that fight happen.

    noone wants vitali to take on valuev, lets hope he sees sense and takes on haye

    Because that's what Booth asked for, remember?

    In 2008, it was Booth (not K2) that said "We only want 100% of the UK TV money from our Setanta deal, 0% of everything else". Unfortunately Setanta blew up and that was that. Then in April of 2010 he said "All we want is 50% of any purse". That's what he was offered then he changed his mind and insisted it was "unfair".

    What makes you so sure the Klitschkos came up with these ideas in the first place, I think it's the other way around.

    Look, the problems would be the same. Sauerland is in the boat and if you were Sauerland would you prefer a no options fight against Vitali or a contract with some random guy like Harrison with a 3 fight option clause in it.

    Should Harrison by some miracle win they can rematch him 3 times until they get the WBA belt back. If Vitali wins the WBA belt and all future revenues are gone.

    They werent that hard to cancel, they had simple instructions on their site how to cancel them without a cost after Haye pulled off.

    that is assuming that sauerlan having his options means he can dictate the next 3 fights. that isnt the case is it?
