Haye will agree to 50-50 when he got rid of Sauerland, maybe in 2011. And mark my words if the fight EVER HAPPENS it will be shown on RTL in Germany. Too bad the dumb Brit fans will have all forgotten about their claims of this "other magical TV station" that was going to outbid RTL
Saying "Having heard both sides of the story, it is clear that David Haye has done everything possible to make a fight with both Klitschkos and I applaud his honest and extensive endeavours." is just too much for me. That is just to bizzare to be taken serious. I don´t know what has bluried your vision but I pitty you.
No. Wlad keeps 100% of all TV revenues, gate money for 60,000 people and sponsorship money against in his other fights. He was willing to split the entire pot with Haye. Wlad can fight guys like Povetkin or Peter and pay them between $1m-$2m and keep the rest ($4 million Dollars RTL TV money, international TV revenues in something like 50+ countries, 60,000+ tickets, sponsorship etc.) to himself. Plus don't forget Wlad doesn't have a contract with Sauerland, like Haye does. Wlad keeps all the money to himself. Haye splits his with Sauerland.
To those saying RTL offer the most money in Germany, Sky also operate in Germany and i'm sure they'd be interested in making the fight a PPV there. That said, you can't expect Wlad to break contract with RTL.
david has a valid point, why would he split his uk money with wlad and viceversa, to me they should keep that seperate, and split hbo money and other fight money that will be brought forth, klit will stil make more then he will fighting somebody else, the reason being hbo have told klit they will not be investing money into any of his other fights unless tomas adamek davidhaye etc. i think wlad klit knows his chin will bwe checkmate if he agrees, haye is faster then sam peter faster then brewster and will put his light out. however i do not know vitalis movements surrounding no fight with haye.
what a load of crap...what happened to cleaning out the heavyweight division? Haye is not the champion, he is a beltholder, and somehow he supposed to be dictating the rules? gtfo
This has already been proven to be untrue so you must be a hayeter Basically haye is in a position to get himself the best deal and the klits have to accept that he brings a lot to the table a lot more than they do. You are asking a guy to bring let us imagine for a minute and say haye brings £10 million to the table basically the klits are saying oh we shall bring £1 million to the table you can have half of that and we want half of the 10m GTFO mr klit.
Bah, let Wlad hide behind his tv contracts and 50/50 slave offers. Its time for King Haye to take on all comers...avoided beasts like Fields and Harisson are next on the menu.
it looks like the cause of break down in this fight is Hayes greed and Wlads ego... Haye wasn't happy that Wlad wasn't bringing more money... Wlad doesn't like the option where the lesser fighter could take home more money... both understandable but the people that lose out are the boxing fans
I always knew the klits were giving it the mouth in public and then pricing themselves out behind the scenes, called it ages ago.:deal
Indeed......the nerve of Wlad! All the great Champions in history took considerable pay cuts to make fights happen, why should he be special. Remember when Lennox Lewis fought Holyfield for free? I do. How about when Tyson gave his wife up sexually to Spinks for a chance to fight him?
