Wlad get 14 Million viewers for the Chambers fight on TV in germany! He fills a football stadion. Wlad did not need David Haye. Wlad is The Man at Heavyweight and the split from 50:50 is more than fair. Another bul**** from Haye. In 2009 Setanta was bankrupt!
I wouldn't say Ruiz was an unknown and Sky can at least make him sound like a competent opponent being a former champion. If he fought some unknown bum that nobody had heard of he would find it a hard sell.
Were the PPV numbers for the Ruiz fight ever hinted at or even released? I am still looking for a source for this. I think they were neither released nor leaked.
Nobody outside the hardcore boxing fans would no who Ruiz is. If sky could sell Ruiz they could sell any other fighter HW with a winning record
I cannot believe that Fans? really Fans or Haye writers? are lucky with this paper view bul****. I am lucky Klitschkos are with RTL so i can see there fights for free. Haye wants $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ nothing else. The Fans should think about it.
Rob, listen, Wlad might have agreed with Haye's amendment to 50/50 had he not been a lineal champ. He just can't discredit he status by accepting the smaller share than Haye's. After all, Haye is a contender in this match and 50% is an absolute maximum he can get.... Surely Haye understands it, he priced himself out for his own good...
Exactly. If what Finkel says is true then asking for more than 50% is Haye's way of saying that he's not really interested right now. It's like if a guy wants to buy our house and you're not really interested in selling at the time, you simply give out an asking price that is way above market value and see what he says.
nWlad is the real WBA Champ. He beats Chagaev who beats Valuevs much better than Haye did. And without the Klitschkos David Haye is nothing at Heavyweight! The Klitschkos gives Haye to mutch attention. They should let him go and Haye should show how "worthy" he really is. Fight some top Heavyweights, at the moment Haye is in compariso to Wlad nothing than a Paper Champ.
It seems funny that the inly money Wlad would let Haye have the proposed fight which fell through, was from British TV. Now negotiations are falling apart because Wlad wants money from British TV. At the end of the day, he's in no position to call Haye a butch or anything like that, if he, a millionaire, is going to let the negotiations stop over peanuts.
The Povetkin fight is sign and now Haye said i want this and that. How long do you think the IBF will wait? Wlad did the right thing, dump this ass and fight his mandatory.
thats a fair point but Haye was also giving up home advantage to Wladamir. Haye should of accepted the offer but if Wladamir really wants Haye why doesnt he sacrifice $2million. Theres plenty of fighters throughout history that have sacrafices money to the fights they wanted.
that wasnt the question Haye gets 500,000 ppv buys. he fills 20,000 seat arenas where the tickets price are double what the germans pay. what does setanta going bankrupt have to do with it?
I think it should be emphasized that when Haye was getting less money and only from Setanta, Wlad was fine with that. Now Haye is getting paid more, Wlad wants some. You can argue whether is right or wrong all day and, honestly, I don't care who gets what. What I do think is wrong, is how anyone can say Haye is ****ing or Wlad really wants this as bad as he says, knowing that it's Wlad's demands which have stopped proceedings.
