    Ortiz didnt live up to the expectations at all till now, therefore it is not interesting at the moment, let ortiz rematch peterson and maidana first.
    Khan should fight somebody else, ortiz is also dangerous for khan.

    bull****, 50/50 over all the money is fair enough.
    Haye is lucky he even gets a 50/50 fight, he is just a beltholder, wladimir is the real heavyweight champ and everyone knows it.

    Because we have a PPV channel and Germany doesn't. Wlad shouldn't be penalised for Germany not having a PPV channel. All he has is the lump-sum RTL will pay and he can do nothing about that.

    At the end of the day, Haye versus Wlad is going to generate a helluva lot more interest and a helluva lot more money than Valuev, Ruiz or Harrison. And part of that will be down to a Klitschko being involved.

    Klitschko is arguably the bigger draw around the world - including in the States - and he's the undisputed champion whereas Haye is lucky to even have the belt that is rightfully Wlad's to lever with in negotiations.

    50/50 with everything in one-pot and split straight down the middle is being generous to Haye as it is. If he keeps 100% of the UK money and Klitschko 100% of the German TV revenue, Haye will end up making a lot more and that's not right.

    I've said before, Wlad and Vitali - for all his faults; they both clearly want the fight and are willing to make concessions to get it done. They want everything split so it can be made quickly without complications.

    Haye doesn't want the fight. That doesn't mean he won't fight them, but he doesn't want it like the brother's do. He's clearly looking at it from a business standpoint and all he wants to do is maximise his earnings. If that's with a fight with a Klitschko, then I'm sure he'll fight them, but he's not as interested in improving his legacy as the Klitschko's are.

    They truely want the fight, Haye is only willing to make it happen from a business standpoint and even then he's making unreasonable, illogical demands that are threatening to spoil the chances of the fight happening.
