    It's the money you bring to the table that determines the split.

    Agreed!

    Wlad bring the titles and Haye brings the money

    And? Wlad and Vitali aren't draws? Wlad is the undisputed heavyweight champion also, Haye is lucky that he even has the belt that is rightfully Wlad's.

    You clearly don't understand my point. If Haye brings more money, he should get more money. Deserves got nothing to do with it.

    You clearly don't understand my point. Haye doesn't categorically bring more money.

    Yes he does!! The only reason the casual fan knows about the bro's is because of haye! And its all about the ppv and before haye they had **** all! they will earn 5 times more fighting him over chisora! thats because he is david haye not because he has a wba strap! most people with have no idea what belt he has any way! and the same applies to the brothers

    Haye's ppv generates more money than Wlad's RTL contract.

    Haye is the much bigger draw over here just like the Klitschko's are the much bigger draw over in Germany. The Klitschko's are still going to be partially responsible for the PPV numbers over here anyway. It's obviously going to sell more than the Valuev, Ruiz or Harrison fights and that's because of a Klitschko being involved. I would argue that either Klitschko is a bigger draw Stateside than Haye aswell.

    True, but Wlad/Vitali would be partially reponsible for those PPV figures being far higher than Valuev/Ruiz/Harrison, and therefore deserve a portion of the money, instead Haye wants to keep the whole thing. The Klitschko's can't really be penalized by the fact that Germany doesn't have a PPV channel. If they delay the fight till 2am or so like they did with Ruiz to get it on HBO PPV, then I'd argue that the Klitschko's are the bigger draw Stateside and bringing in most of that money. Not to mention ticket sales are likely to be higher if they do it in Germany.

    Possibly. I don't really care who gets what, I just want the fight to be made.

    It doesn't matter what promotional company he's with. He's actually with a number of promotional companies given he's got Hayemaker aswell and I think Sauerland have still got a part in him, they did in the Harrison fight again anyway.

    The Klitschko's have fought more often Stateside and more often on HBO and probably drawn decent numbers, I'd argue they are more well known across the board.

    I agree, but should anyone argue that Haye deserves a majority in any fight with either brother when the Klitschko's are proposing a 50/50 split with everything in one pot, they are clearly making excuses for Haye ducking.
