    that makes no difference to anything, why can pacman get a split against hatton, why could hatton get decent money against pbf.
     
  3. Look i get all your points.....and agree that Wlad deserves the bigger share... I'm sure Haye knows this aswell.

    But again Haye isn't some no name HW like Thompson et al.... Haye is also a champion and brings money to the table....more than any other guy in the HW Wlad could fight bar Vitali, and we know that won't happen

    Wlad should either step back and make Haye fight some top contenders to prove his worth, or move the fight out of London. Haye should be HAPPY that Wlad, the Champion, is willing to come into Haye's backyard to fight him. Haye shouldn't then try and use this as leverage for more money, and rights.

    agreed :good
     

  6. Thats the main thing thats slowing the deal down.... Wlad wanted the fight in the Chelsea F.C stadium, but that is going to way too expensive to rent out... so they are looking for a new venue, my guess is that it will be in Germany
     

  7. I thought you had insider knowledge ??? I have known that the fight isn't going to be at Stamford Bridge for a while now... because of the price

    1 fight. vs Enzo, other than that he's mostly been in small buildings like the York hall. He is not some massive established draw.

    It was set.. then Haye didnt want it after it was settled. Rent might have been high but more tickets to sell
     

  10. He is an established boxing star now, good setanta figures and filling the O2 arena is pretty good, I can't think of any other HW challenger that brings that:huh
     

  11. The rent was sky high.... plus logistics wen't right, Stamford bridge is a very posh residential area, and i don't think they would get permission for 40k boxing fans pouring out at 1 am

    Haye is well within his rights to look for a decent split for the purse because a fight of this magnitude doesn't come around every day of the week.. Haye and his people need to secure the best deal for all involved so it pays them well for the efforts surrounding the event and its production.. Haye obviously wants the fight , and Wladimir also loves the idea now of making this thing work.. Haye fancies the fight , and Wlad loves the Uk defence at O2 or where ever.. Its just not something that can be made over night..

    Everything is pure speculation... Its also a very intriguing fight , i personally think Wlad wins this fight by a mid fight stoppage, but after a few hard rounds of solid deadly exchanges.........
     

  14. Why did you change your post ? Did you let out something you shouldn't of :D
