    Correct, but he still wants 50% from the world + 100% from UK.
    He sets the terms that can not be accepted and therefore avoids the fight. Job done:good

    Wladimir has been the long standing champ. He offered David Haye 50/50 of everything with no options. That is more than fair. Haye wants MORE than 50% and he is the challenger.

    Last time they were bitching about options, they removed that and a 50/50 split is extremely generous. Haye just doesnt want the fight, once 50/50 was offered now he wants > 50% That is just his way of ducking out of the fight for the 4th time against the K brothers. He never had intentions of fighting them.

    :yep What is worse is most of them really believe what they are saying.

    I am pretty sure the discussions on ESB will even go on after Haye's retirement without having fought one of the brothers.
    Imagine the thread title "Why did a fight between Haye and Klitschko never happen?" It will be 50 000+ pages long. :hey

    You know Moneu too? Fine lad, he comes from a long line of theives, homosexuals, and drunken trapeze artists but a fine land none the less.

    The ARD can not offer more than RTL.

    Sauerland have a contract and he gets 1,4 Million for the whole fightday! Note more!!

    But Booth is right, Haye would never be the WBA Chamion without sign with Sauerland.

    Hoylfield and Chagaev beats Valuev much better but unfortunaly because of the cheater Sauerland, Hoylfield was robbed.

    The Daily Mail are ****ing eejits. They ****ed that article up big time, their source was Ross Greenburg's interview with ESPN.
    "One of those three against Tomasz Adamek"

    "Those three" being Haye, Vitali and Wlad.

    So Haye added 1m viewers? That's a good amount. There's no way Klitschko adds that over here.

    Why are you posting that again? I exposed that as misinformation earlier. That's about the purse bid, which Booth said should be 50/50. That was offered and Haye accepted.

    The sticking point now, is Wlad won't accept his fair share of the TV money.

    That's free TV viewers, not Pay-Per-View. You make a mistake mixing up the two. 1 million or or less is nothing on free TV in Germany.

    Just as a comparison the Klitschkos get 10-12 million fighting guys like Chambers and Chagaev.

    Purse bid? This is not a mandatory defense with a sanctioning organization holding a purse bid. You're mixing up things once again. There is no purse bid in a voluntary unification bout such as Wlad - Haye.
