    Adam Booth

    "I have been negotiating with Bernd Boente, Klitschko's manager, and two days ago I offered him a 50-50 split of everything, including the British pay-per-view money, and that the fight could be on RTL and could be held anywhere they wanted to make the most revenue, including in Germany."

    "Those were the only two points we were negotiating. But Boente came back and said: 'No point continuing. Forget about it. You do your fight and we'll do ours.' Wladimir was copied in on all the emails so I don't know why they are refusing. That is the question Boente refused to answer. Either Wladimir does not want to fight David Haye or it is because they have this deal with RTL and they want to get that fight out of the way."

    David Haye

    "We have now ticked every box they have asked us to tick and I just hope Wladimir is as eager to fight as he tells everyone he is. We have removed every possible excuse and have shown we are serious about making this fight become a reality. I'll smoke him out if I have to. I only pray Wladimir is as serious as we are, because this fight needs to happen for the good of the sport."

    Bernd Boente

    "Adam Booth is talking complete nonsense. What he is not saying is that he has told me that if there is another German TV deal for the fight that is better than RTL then we should pay the difference. We have to honour our contract with RTL. Even if ARD were to offer to pay more it would only be €300,000-€400,000, which is peanuts when compared with the worldwide pay-per-view .


    Boente said in an interview with Ringside that if there was a higher offer for the German TV they would pay the difference. So what has changed??

    If it's peanuts, pay it. Haye hasn't signed a contract with RTL.

    boente is the one with excuses and stalling the fights.

    pay the difference if its not much!

    my guess is this fight only happens when haye is free of saureland and his german tv network ard.

    and when wlad is free of his german network aswell.

    that is in 1 fights time.

    i hope haye fights adamek if he can,or arreola in america would be good fight,maybe him vs chambers to show how well he deals with klitschkos opponents.

    chageav looks bad of late,haye beats him easy.

    I find it disgusting in itself that boxers are being tied to TV companys and money is the reason championship fights dont happen. Ive said it before and i will say it again, Boxing is no longer a sport 1st and entertainment 2nd if things like this can happen.

    Exactly! Hayemaker are a bunch of ****ing dicks. You cant believe a single word they come out with on this subject.

    Allegedly offering the same deal which they simply couldnt accept last time??

    This proves that they were completely full of **** last time about their reasons for not fighting the K Bros.

    And if they are talking about Vegas this time...then i guarentee that is only because Wlad has expressly ruled that out beforehand.

    Remember Haye said just this spring that this deal was unacceptable and therefore he was forced to fight Audley. Now he comes back with 100% the exact same deal to the Klits. Hilarious! :lol:

    But he is offering it the way they wanted it, you are making no sense at all.

    Boente said on UK tv they would pay the extra that ARD would pay if ARD would pay more, now he is going back on that!

    from 8:50

    "Just as an example if RTL would bid 3million and other station would pay us 4 million, the difference is very simple mathematically 1million, you would get 500k and we would get 500k so if that is the case we could deffinatley come to an agreement about those 500k because in the end we are talking about real big numbers and not small numbers"
