:good I agree 100% but i think Team Haye think they can do it against Vitali the same way Haye did it against Valuev. Stay on the outside and with some punches get the decision because of Sauerland and King.
Haye is a damn fool. If he turns down 40%. I could live for the rest of my life on that. Hell, Ill fight Wlad and Vitali both for 5%. well, if they pay my hospital bills afterwards.
60-40 might fly as long as the multiple rematch clause shenanigans are torn up and tossed in the trash. 60-40 with a standard rematch clause, no options on Haye or any bull**** like that, then I would blame David Haye for not wanting the fight if he refuses. I'm neutral btw. 55-45 seems a little more reasonable. Wlad wants that WBA belt bad. Technically, he should already have it. But still, this would be a unification fight and HBO seems to have no interest in anyone else besides Haye. Haye is in a better position now than he was last year. I just hope this fight gets made. 60-40 with a new contract should suffice, but I'm no manager or promoter. As of now, I got Wlad by TKO 7 if it comes off.
It shouldn't have anything to do with rankings, titles, resumes or any of that, in the end it should come down to who is bringing what money to the pot and I'd say there's a good chance Haye will bring more if you take out gate receipts at the stadium (as both will sell out stadiums in their own countries)
I had a feeling when Haye got his paper title he would just sit on it. His fans are happy to hear him talk **** and really don't care about anything else. The weaker the opponents he faces the more they will love him for the lopsided wins for the glory of England.
50-50 or nothing... haye has the fanbase, he is the one people wanna see...klitschko is the unified champ atm but haye is a 2 weight champ...klitschko has been ktfo by bum heavies before...it should be equal split!
Vitali and Vlad has a huge fan base, they sell out everywhere. Vitali sold out at MSG, NY, NY, USA during a huge snow storm.
Mayweather was P4P#1 for a few years before fighting De La Hoya yet he didn't walk away with the larger slice. It's who brings in the money.
im too lazy to dig through my history...but i told everyone last year after he "slayed the giant beast" that winning that belt would be used as a device to not fight the klits....as the supporters of haye would say "now hes got a belt, it will be huge and more money for a unification" where as in reality, hes already wasted a fight on ruiz, next will be chagaev (who wlad beat up for 9 rounds) or meehan....whos claim to fame is being...Australian
The ONLY thing he has going for him is the Klitchkos are running out of opponents. He can fight nobodies for years it would seem.
