    Jack

    you have yet to answer the multiple posts from people asking you about the "ban" and "no 50-50 offer"

    you basically called me a liar when I said "there is no ban"

    well..........

    Haye - according to Adam Booth - is now asking for 100% of UK PPV money, 0% of German TV money and 50% of all other world-wide revenues. That works out to more than 50% because UK PPV is a larger amount than German TV money.

    Again, I am not saying Haye doesn't deserve the money he now demands, I am just saying it is highly unrealistic that Wlad will accept less than 50% of all money, especially after Haye said 50-50 is exactly what he wanted in April of this year:

    Because Haye fans are the biggest pieces of **** to ever be inflicted on these forums.

    Not a one of them has a single ****ing brain cell in their ******ed skulls.

    Thats what I thought.

    Surely thats fair though?

    Haye has done more work to build a profile in the UK than any other Brit fighter I can think of. I think he deserves the UK tv money considering Wlad has virtually no profile in the UK.
    If that generates more than the German tv revenues then Wlad should be getting his backside on German tv and newspapers.

    I think Wlad demanding 50% UK tv revenues is a touch greedy all things considered, especially when you consider that most Klit fans are adamant Wlad is so massive in Germany. Let him keep the German money if he's so huge over there.

    Also, if Wlad is so big in Germany why should the German revenues equal less overall than 50% of the whole split?

    Personally I would have thought it would equal more?

    Because Germany = free TV, UK = PPV.

    Presumably German TV would have to buy the rights to show it though?

    This would be one of Wlads biggest fights. Im sure they would make a decent offer?

    Did you read what Booth said in April? Check his quote.

    Then they said giving Wlad 50% of UK TV is fine, now all of a sudden they said Wlad is greedy for asking for 50%.

    Some poster said it's biased Haye fans vs biased Klit fans who exaggerate the fault issue. Well, im not from UK, Ger, Ukr, US, Im not a big fan of Klits/Haye, but somehow i can see whose fault it is that the fight didn't happen, and guess what - i blame Haye. ****, who the hell is Haye!? How biased you must be to say he is popular elswhere beyond UK. From what i know everyone recognise Klits (mb not exacly tell apart who is who) in Poland but NO WAY you ask some casual sport fan who Haye is and get any answer. Haye was a champ in the division that a lot of ppl dont even know exists and there are Brits who try to compare achievements of both which is ridiculous.

    Haye wants 100% of the country where he is more popular? OK, then Klit should take bigger split from the countries where he is more popular which means rest of the world. now fair enough?

    RTL already have the rights, they have an exclusive contract with both brothers for their fights. They do so since 2007, after Wlad left Sauerland.

    All this was well known to Booth and Haye in April when they said they wanted to fight Wlad and certainly doesn't come as a surprise to any "professional" in the business such as Adam Booth. If Haye is unwillig to accept 50-50 of all revenues he should have NEVER mentioned it, like he did in April.

    Why they have changed their mind, I dont know. But I still think what they are currently offering is a fair deal.
