    Really? Where are you getting this from? Please specify.

    For all we know 50/50 no options is on the table ever since Haye won against Valuev. 50% for K2 and 50% for Haye/Sauerland.

    How is this greedy and what was in the agreement that was different from 50/50?

    Look I am playing devils advicate hear. i think Haye should take 40% and knock the boring ****s out but the Klitskcos In response

    1. Booth said Haye based on figures he had seen Haye generated more money from the Ruiz fight than Wlads fight agaisnt Fast Food Chambers. K2 have never denied this. Theres no reason to think Haye vs Chagaev/Ruiz would not do as well as Ruiz.
    2. Agreed, but the Klitsckos would be getting 50% of it so the fight has to do double the amount for Haye to get as much.

    Ever noticed how the deal was **** until Haye became a PPV star? Then it becomes 50-50?? The Klitsckos are not completley innocent when it comes to this fight not happening.

    Its greedy if Haye generates 20% more than the Klitsckos. I think Haye should accept but don't be nieve and think the Klitskcos are not being greedy to.

    Goodness, do people actually believe the 'I'm retiring next year to become James Bond' nonsense?

    If he does next year I'll eat my **** (sic)

    50/50 is greedy from the Klitschkos you say? Then why did Booth say Haye has to insist on 50/50 and anything else is delusional? :deal

    Booth said 50-50 was a starting point.

    Booth said to K2 50-50 of the highest bid from any TV network. K2 never responsed to this and stopped negotiations. A fact as both teams have said that happened.

    Booth never ever turned down 50-50. He said 50-50 of the highest revenue from each territory which K2 rejected.

    This week on Sky Ringside Boente says if they get a written offer from a TV executive they will give the difference between the ARD offer and RTL offer to Haye. He said it would be a small sum. Why wasn't this offered in May instead of just not responding to Booth??

    Check exactly what Bönte said. He was adamant there won't ever be a higher offer from any other German TV station, but if Booth does believe he could get one he should present it, signed by the executive level of a German TV station and Bönte would cover the difference.

    What does this mean?

    Bönte is 100% sure that the entire "highest German bidder" excuse is just another smoke screen.

    I watched what Bonte said and he never said anything like it was unlikely there would be a bigger offer. Infact he was talking like it was fairly likely that ARD or one of the other channels could offer 1m more... which doesn't sound a lot but in context of it being against a 3m RTL offer that is infact a 33.3% increase.... please stop making **** up to suite your own hate agenda... it's getting as boring as farmboxer

    Don't agree with you. He was adamant there wouldn't be a higher offer and he told Booth to be careful to believe the promises Sauerland makes to him based on their contacts with ARD which are *NOT* on the executive level of the TV station. That's why he said bring me a signed offer by the executives then we'll talk about it.

    Why does Bönte act so relaxed? Because he knows there won't be a higher offer and Booth is just blowing smoke.

    Bönte used the 1 million number as a hypothetical example, not as a number that he would realistically expect. He used it simply to illustrate an example. The "real" number could be much higher, but also much lower.

    Now where did I "make **** up"? Just because it contradicts your personal opinion doesn't mean I am misinterpreting what Bönte said.
