    Haye's after 50/50...Wlad doesn't want that n sees himself as the greater draw and longstanding champ with more straps...though surely the IBO is worth at most $1.

    So whats a fair split in your view? Wonder if we see any deals like winner takes 60 loser 40 as a put your money were your mouth is kinda boast! Didn't Hopkins v Jones do that.

    Id say 50/50 split is fair, Wlad maybe a long term champ but Haye's a big draw in the UK now and a legit champ himself. 60/40 split for a knockout might encourage Wlad to open up a bit more too ;)

    50 -50. They'll both make more money in this fight than they both have for their last 5 fights. Wlad knows that and he aint stupid. This is just the feeling out stage.

    I'm a way bigger a Haye fan than I am a fan of Wlad but Wlad def deserves 60-40. He's the legit King at heavy and has been almost 8 years before Haye even won his first cruiser title.

    Wlad should get the bigger share, at least 55/45.

    I agree he's the heavyweight king and has been for ages now, but Haye is a huge draw in the UK, the revenue he brings in has to be acknowledged.

    The reason wlad doesn't deserve 60/40 is because he will make more money fighting haye for 50% than probably total purse of his next 3 or even 4 fights should he not fight haye.
    It's not even about deserve it's about a business opportunity, it doesn't make any sense to not take the fight at 50/50.

    It's not far fetched to say Haye could be almost bring around 1 million uk ppv's to the table.

    50-50 and I wouldn't blame Haye if he refuses to budge.

    The split should be 65-35 in Wlad's favor but WK should settle for 60-40 just to get the fight made.

    Those saying Haye is such a big draw in England don't realize the difference between being a big draw there isn't the same as selling out 50,000+ seat stadiums. Wlad does well regardless of who he fights.

    Isn't Wlad also a huge draw in Germany and Ukraine, and the revenue he brings in from these countries has to be acknowledged also?

    You live in a dream world 50k in germany only and probably a lot of those tickets are cheap tickets let's see how much ppv money and tv rights they make from eastern europe bet the combined total comes nowhere near that made from uk ppv buys.
    David hasslehoff can get 50k at a gig there means nothing in the grand scheme of ppv
