    I can't see him challenging Haye.

    Not only is Haye a pretty natural 225, he also made a career destroying guys the size of Adamek.

    He's bigger, much heavier, and just a better boxer.

    If Adamek and Haye had fought at Crusier, he wouldn't have lasted 5 rounds

    The Klitschko's problem is TV money.

    They always demand 100% of German TV rights, which is one of the only markets that have any interest in their bouts.

    HBO only offered $250k for the American rights to the Povetkin fight, as an example.

    If you're giving your opponent NO money from Germany, and then also asking for 50% of the global TV money, no wonder nobody wants to fight them

    I read this is why Haye walked away from them the latest time. Not a big fan of Haye but why should he give up the british ppv money (which will be huge) when he will account for 90% of the ppv buys?

    He brings American TV money. It means a lot. And to be honest he is a much bigger attraction than Briggs or Sosnowski.
