Its almost impossible to have concrete figures but just going by ballpark. Fury earned around about 5 million for the Wlad fight. Haye earned around about the same for a joke fight with Audley Harrison. Haye earned way more than 5 million quid for his fight with Wlad.


Haye, is a more attractive draw than Fury, I don't think there can be any disputing that. Obviously Ross will because he's obligated up to the eyeballs and will talk about how Fury earned his 5 million quid in his first crack at the heavyweight title and how he's going to make more in the rematch.


The first part is true. That said, if Haye would have fought Wlad for a title rather than Valuev he would have made his 5 million no problem, he made 3 against Valuev for fucks sake.


In the rematch will Fury top the reported 10-15 million Haye made for the Wlad fight? Im not so sure. For that to happen I think he needs the crazy Russian to lump 25 million quid on the table and have Fat Mick/K2 leave him to get on with it. I think some interest will go out of the rematch. All credit to Fury but sadly I think Wlad is done. The lights were on but no one was home and he was in with the wrong guy to get away with it.
