Then a guy like Mayweather - the biggest PPV star in the sport - would end up earning a ridiculously low amount of money. He could be fighting a Mathew ****ing Hatton, and he'd end up getting paid less than him. The majority of the people will be supporting against him and wanting to see his ass get knocked out.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think Haye is scared of either brother. I think he is just treating his boxing career strictly as a business. He pulled out of the fight with Wlad because Santana went broke and his payday was NOT secured. He pulled out of the fight with Vitali because the contract was BS and he figured he would have more leverage if he beat Valuev and brought a belt to the bargaining table. I do knock him for his timing (waiting until after he signed to back out). Also he fought Harrison because it was a gimme for him, low risk high reward. Honestly if you were a fighter and you wanted to maximize your profit for each performance could you really balme the guy? The main reason he conceded to everything with Wlad now is because he was at the Khan-Maidana fight and thought of how big ($) a fight could be if it were him and Wlad in the same limelight that the Khan fight was. Bottom line, the guy is way smarter than he is scared.
klitschkos wont admit it,but they want wlad to have 1 more fight and be free of his german deal also in 1 fights time haye will be free of his german contract(i think) and will defo be free of saurelands last option on him. only after they both have one more fight is it almost definate they will agree to fight. booth is givin in,and sayin sure have the deal you want,and now they dont want it. even after they said they would pay any small difference haye doesnt get they now go back on thier word,that boente said he would do ,on video.
Its funny, now Wladimir's fans are lest with nothing more to say than "Haye's credibility is shot" or " NOW Haye wants to fight now that Wladimir has a torn muscle." Hahahahahhaa. You guys just cannot face up to the truth can you? Wladimir was NOT hurt while hitting the mits, Haye was NOT scared of Wladimir and now its YOUR BOY who won't sign the 50-50 contract that you guys have SCREAMED about for the last year. Hahahahahahahah
They offer 50/50 on everything and Boente comes back with: 'No point continuing. Forget about it. You do your fight and we'll do ours.' WTF is up with that?!
You can find the numbers many places on google "The heavyweight world champion boxer David Haye, absent from the ceremony with flu, received the lowest number of votes, 7,538." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/dec/19/tony-mccoy-bbc-sports-personality-award No suprise he came last though. He was least deserving on the list and the only contender not at the ceremony.
He has 30 days to sign a contract with an alternative opponent, otherwise his Chisora match is automatically enforced. Big Difference.
That would be a true 50/50, like Wlad previously offered them? Does not make sense, why on earth would Wlad refuse a deal that he, extremely generously, offered Haye before? Haye's team makes it sound like they're doing something generous but all they have done is drop a ridiculous demand (more than 50% of the total revenue for Haye by keeping the British PPV money).
IF this is true, on giving wlad all these things, an hayes camp means this. Then to me this fight is a done deal, an no question wlad will sign, why not, he got every thing he asked for, so yes if this is true, i see this going forward
Just found it: Bernd Boente "Adam Booth is talking complete nonsense. What he is not saying is that he has told me that if there is another German TV deal for the fight that is better than RTL then we should pay the difference. We have to honour our contract with RTL. Even if ARD were to offer to pay more it would only be €300,000-€400,000, which is peanuts when compared with the worldwide pay-per-view."
Except from Haye's point of view, which is true, they brought in more money because of British PPV money so they were right to reject, in their opinion. They've gone back on that because they realise Wlad won't budge. And on the Wlad side of it, maybe it's similar to Pacquiao/Mayweather? Mayweather always said "once Pacquiao accepts, it's on". Then when he did accept, Mayweather said "no". Maybe Wlad, like Mayweather had his bluff called? I hope not because I'm a Wlad fan. I do think he'll accept too.
