    but Klitschko treat 2 divisions champion and the ring champion as Sosnowski offered him crappy money and they cry that he doesnt want to fight them

    its better for Adamek to make a mandatory for Klitschko so he need not have to sign any slave contract

    i think it was just a loose comment on Haye-Klit split. No big deal. Adamek is focused right now only on Grant. Hes not considering negotiations with Klits right now in the middle of his training-camp.

    "About rumors that David Haye turned down a 50/50 fight with Klitschko: "You know, if I'm proposed 50/50, I might sign a contract today!""

    - just who wouldnt sign... Ah, Haye, but not everybody is such a brilliant strategist...

    No offense, but this is the second thread you've started that I've noticed you and wondered if English was your first language.

    Wonder if this is the direction that he is heading. Would make much sense.

    Anybody know what Adamek would have to do, to become a mandatory for either Klitschko?

    Also, where is Ronny Shields? The fight is almost two weeks out, and it seems Adamek has been working exclusively with Bloodworth.. ?

    I think Adamek knows it well he doesnt deserve 50-50 split (Haye does?). He probably like rest of the world cant grasp how anybody could've turned down such an offer.

    I'm sure Adamek would make more more as a voluntary challenger than the 25% of the purse for a mandatory challenger that Povetkin was going to get btw...

    I agree, at the beginning I was sceptical about Shields, but after Arreola fight I actually think that Shields is more helpful for Adamek then Bloodworth

    He said that if he was offered a 50/50 split, he would sign the contract today. If he is going to fight a Klitschko then it won't be until early next year and they won't sign any contracts until he's beaten Grant and the Klits have come through their fights.

    like i said, you must be insane to reject 50-50 with Klits.

    Even as a mandatory challenger he'd only get ~25%. He is neither mandatory nor does he hold one of the 4 HW belts himself. At this stage, Adamek can only hope for a marginally better paycheck than guys like Briggs or Sosnowski.

    If Adamek were to fight Haye, snatch the WBA belt and then fight one of the brothers he could go ahead and fight for 50% of the total pot.

    Or he could mean exactly what he says. No-one is going to commit themselves to signing something on a % amount without knowing what else is in the contract.
