atsch Haye pulled out of the fight with Wlad because the TV station that was paying his purse went bust. Would you fight for free? Yes, Haye backed out of a deal with Vitali but according to some K2 agreed a deal with Haye verbally but then when the paperwork came through the terms in the contract were completely different to what was originally agreed to. The Klits are interested in Haye because that's the biggest fight out their for them. Both in terms of legacy and money. You're a much better poster than all this hating crap BB :good I don't give a **** about the contract negotiations anymore, just get this fight signed! :twisted:
Haye is a pathetic c--t. If he really wanted the fight he would of signed 2 years ago. Typical of him to go on blast and accuse the Ks for not signing. He is a weasel of the highest caliber. Next he'll say Wlad is scared of him and is only injured to avoid a fight with him.
Wlad originally said he would fight where there was the most money to be made.... which is Vegas, now he doesn't want to???
Why should he of offered that from the get go? you should never offer the best deal from the start. And to be fair Wlad is getting the best deal out of this as the UK box office brings a lot more to the table than RTL. People will buy to see Haye, yes more will buy because he is fighting Wlad but lets not kid ourselves that it will be that many more... he got close to a million people to see him fight Valuev!
the klitschko side wont just come out and admit they wont fight until haye is free of saureland and his german tv network,and until wlad himself is free of his german contract,both of which happens after 1 more fight from both sides. boente has constantly said contradicting things. he said he would maximise reveue everywhere: then says no to HBO due to a falling out. he said most revenue in germany,if not pay the difference: now the "small amount" to pay is now a problem! said would fight where ever makes the most money: "we will not fight in vegas"(no reason given) Haye and others are not lying when they say the klitschko are hard to deal with,and to put it blunt are bast8rds. they say all kinds of things to the media. but there private talks are very different,their tactics sly and devious,cowardly and pathetic. Either way Haye comes out on top. he gets that fight beats them and gets the top stop and a crapload of money. he beats them to all the better opponents at heavyweight,and gets on all networks in all major countires. with opponents getting a better deal from him,and thinking he is the easier one to fight than the klitschkos.
i think one way or another, this fight will get made, pretty soon. i dont think we will see pac-mayweather, but i can see haye-wladimir being on in 2011.
Haye was offered the same deal that he SIGNED for the Wlad fight before HE pulled out. It's not hating but colorful critic of someone who truly hurts boxing. Terrible fights when he ever pleases us with a fight (Valuev, Ruiz, Audley), a series of illegal blows (hard rabbit punches over and over again), and all bark no bite. The Klitschkos are substance, they bring credibility that the sport needs right now, not the smack Haye tries to sell. Many of us are simply giving him a taste of his own medicine, challanging him at his own game, and when his fans are offended they should realize it's a simply justified reaction. I hate no fighter who steps into the ring.
Booth keeps saying that "another German station is willing to pay more"..so they want K2 to put extra in the pot... yet NO ONE knows what Booth is talking about. Boente said..."give me a signed contract from the TV executive to prove the fee and we will do it"...Booth has not provided such contract
i think booth is just getting it in writing i.e. sign that if we get a better offer you will pay the difference.
I love the way he talks about getting it on for the good of the sport, was Harrison-Haye good for the sport? Haye has gotten blood out of a stone since winning his title, now he talks about whats good for the sport, its more a case of, whats good for David Haye, as and when its suits him.
But why? Why is Booth looking for a 'better' TV offer in ger? Is messing with K2/RTL contract may bring any significance income while there already gonna be insane $$ on the table? Doesnt it look like searching for obstacles and excuses just to avoid the fight? -BTW, paying the difference is no longer 50/50.
Are you insane? No one would agree to such deal without seeing a contract. It is essentially a blank check. Some Acme TV station offers 100mil over RTL offer and now Wlad have to pay the difference?
