Haye offered 50/50 to fight Wladimir

[Lance Uppercut]

Dan Rafael is reporting that Haye is being offered 50% of the take, to fight Wladimir, and the deal would give the Klitschko's NO future options on Haye

I have never heard of the Klitschkos offering such a generous deal to any of their opponents before.

Haye really talked himself into a sweet position.

Surely he's got to take that. He's never going to get a better deal. Though he could probably earn more padding out his career against old men.

Just take the fight Haye, everyone wants to see it.

[Pugilistic]

Haye has to take this offer.

[Lance Uppercut]

I think Haye is a genius. He went from being no name--to having the heavyweight champion of the world, bending over backward to try and make a fight with him.

Great marketing.

That says it all...

If this is true then Haye has hit the jackpot if this is what he had planned all along.

Why do I see threads from year 2008 about this fight?

One thing you cannot knock about Wlad is the fact that he is willing to fight everyone and anyone. Wlad can also take the easy route and fill stadiums in Germany fighting bums but he wants to fight the best. After listening to all the whining and crying from Mayweather it is nice to see a champ just say lets split it and get the fight done. But I guess Wlad is the educated one that doesnt piss all of his money away on nonsense so the cash isnt as much of a concern for him.....

If Haye doesnt take the fight now we know he is a scared little b%$ch.....

It's fair to say that this journalist is a Klitschko mouthpiece and hates Haye so let's see what other reports say, let's see what Haye's camp says. Haye is going to fight one of them eventually but he's the guy they all want to fight at heavyweight now, he gets to make the fight when he wants it.

Let's get one thing straight. There is NOTHING BUT BUMS in the heavyweight division bar a couple. So THEY ARE consistently filling stadiums with bums and will continue to do so until someone decides to take boxing seriously north of 200lbs.

And I don't think there is anything wrong with Haye taking his time before a title shot against either Klit. I mean 2 years ago when he moved up, everyone said he didn't stand a chance, now everyone thinks he's the last hope. C'mon people... he had to GROW in to the weight class. He's a bigger boy now. I just hope he puts his money where his mouth is ... or his fists where his money is

Personally (i know I am the only one saying this...) he should take one more fight with a bigger guy and then go after the golden geese. The longer he waits (as long as he is improving in the gym; and the Klits get older) the better his chances are. I just have too much patience I guess, but if he loses... then where will we be?

I'm very skeptical about such an offer. Haye has done anything to deserve a 50/50 split. There has to be some stipulation in the contract where the majority of PPV revenue goes to Wladimira. I'm doubtful Haye will ever take the fight. If he does, he better hope to land a perfect right early on, or it will be a relatively short night for him.

Any thoughts on that outrage with the elder sister and the Sonoski (sp?) -- and I'm too lazy to check -- fight? Thinking of creating a thread of HW's with the most padded records of all time. Klit senior would surely make the top 10.

[El Kabong]

The #1 thing I want to know is why (if such a sweetheart deal has been offered) is the WBA title holder considering the following fights: Audley Harrison, James Toney, Hasim Rahman, and Shannon Briggs I really doubt that the fight will happen now

Thinking of creating a thread of HW's with the most padded records of all time. Klit senior would surely make the top 10.

Vitali's record since 2002 has some respectible names on it before that time it was kind of hard for him to get a fight vs a top teir heavyweight what with him being 6'8 and having all but 1 of his wins coming by KO at that point. To be honest Vitali never would have had the chance to fight Lennox Lewis without the injury to Kirk Johnson and pressure from fans and media.

Great quotes in boxing news magazine.

"Vitali wants to fight Valuev because of his fight and Haye because of his mouth".

And this classic frmo Bernd Boente, the Klit's managers: "Haye is like a little dog barking at bigger dogs that pass his kennel. He never does anything, just barks back".
