Why is team Adamek not complaining about K2 slave contracts or difficult negotiation?

    Another interesting tidbit is that the fight is likely to be on PPV in Poland:

    It's like asking why, when Haye pulled out of the first fight, Wlad was able to make a contract with Chagaev so quickly and easily.

    But if you ask tinfoil-hat Britards, the Klit's are worse than Satan to deal with.

    This just reveals how terribly amateurish Booth is:

    He was unable to move the Khan April PPV with Sky for the Wlad fight, he was unable to pay off Chagaev to keep the door open for a Wlad unification, he was unable to get a deal done with Adamek and now he's negotiating with Mormeck :lol:

    To be fair Haye and Booth didn't complain about the contract terms did they?

    I'd also point out Duva even mentions that her long friendship with Finkel helped.

    You can't just use this to sweep everything else under the carpet.

    Well they implied that Klitschko imposed arrogant and terribly overreaching contract terms on them and Haye - in his infinite good will to make this fight happen - accepted such terrible terms as going in to the ring first. Whenever Booth talk about negotiating with the brothers they *ALWAYS* mention how "long", "tiring", "intense" and difficult the negotiations were. Every single time. See a pattern here?

    This is coming from a guy (Booth) who had zero prior boxing business experience. Don't take my word for it, take his own word for it:

    Now if I was Bönte I'd tell Booth to **** off and go back to managing his clinic with his proven track record of incompetence and amateurishness.

    Shame, I was hoping to see Adamek grab a title at HW, cant see him beating a Klit. Would like to of seen Adamek fight Haye, as that is a more winnable fight for him, then again, Haye wouldn't take someone like Adamek on anyway, why jeopardize a Klitschko payday?

    From what I heard Adamek takes 35% of the total incomes. Seeing how popluar he is in Poland and has whole bunch of followers in USA I can say he'll earn his most in career, basing on several conditions I can say he'll earn at least 6mln €. So Wlad/Vit earn roundly like 9.

    Not bad.

    But Booths not the only one is he? and it still doesn't address my point that this time around there was no problems with negotiations does it?

    So what? Every promoter starts somewhere. I think you forget Booth will have lawyers and acountants guiding and helping him through negotiations. I'm pretty sure Sauerland and GBP will be chipping in too, you can't place this purely on Booths shoulders, all parties have their part to play. The fact that Bonte hasn't told Booth to **** off throws up question marks about Booths " incompetence and amateurishness" doesn't it?

    But lets get back to your original:deal like this changes things and makes everything else irrelevent.

    First off if Booth had a 30 year friendship with Finkel things would run much smoother, that's a no brainer which you ignore.
    Secondly I'm sure HBO money will be involved so that makes any negotiation easier as there's more money involved for all parties, basically you can probably add $1-2 million to Wlad/Adameks purse.

    You're implying because Duva, whos had a 30 year friendship with Finkel, didn't have any serious difficulties that it means something, it doesn't, it's a bull**** point.

    Haye was trying to hammer out a deal with the Klits, agreeing to all their terms but they wanted to fight Chisora next, not Haye, not Adamek. Fúcking Derek Chisora, lol

    Thats because Adamek does not have a vagina like Haye.

    Booth is an incompetent, weird face pulling, bumbler. Frank Warren has said previously that Booth was the most difficult person he'd had to deal with in 30 years of being involved in boxing.

    An examply of Booths game playing.
    Let's also not forget that on several occasions he's contradicted himself, or suddenly done a 360 and changed his tune.
    And I believe in that interview done on Sky that Bonte did say hed barely spoken to Booth since the Vitali negotiations had broken down as he was sick of dealing with Booths half truths and nonsense.

    David Haye is a clown who's in it for the Money. if he takes a L to Wlad (he most definitely will) his stock drops dramatically, he may be a fraud but he isn't dumb.

    just cuz adamek and his team claim to be happy with the deal,does not make it so.

    Adamek has no titles,he is popular,but not seen quite as the great hope Haye was first seen as.

    haye came up as cruiser 3 title 2 time champion

    adamek was cruiser champ,but came up from light heavyweight to then cruiser and heavy.

    adamek scraped by arreola and got hurt bad at times,apart from that he has had a poor heavyweight run so far.

    Also,it has been said before,latest was chisora,but the klitschkos make a clause where opponents must keep the detials secret and not speak about all the things like glove size,promo events to disrupt training ect ect.

    well


    Adamek could go for smaller part because he isnt a champ(even if haye is a paper champ he still got the belt) and Adamek's biggest payday i think never exceeds 1mln $
