Haye willing to fight Wlad in Germany

[Kirkland Laing]

Oh, give me a break. Both Klitchko's would be happy to shut Haye's mouth for him, but business is business. Haye's demands are ridiculous given his current standing. He is basically unknown in the US, having only one main event fight on either HBO or Showime. Wlad, on the other hand, has been a featured fighter on HBO for years now. Even Haye's domestic appeal in the UK is questionable as his fight with Barrett barely drew 6000, whereas Wlad sells out in Germany regardless of the opponent. He clearly brings more economic muscle to the table, but Haye and his handler's refuse to be realistic businessmen. That is why the fight is having problems, period.

I agree. Busines is business. So why are the Klitschkos giving 25% of their next promotion to another fighter when Haye will fight for effectively free and let them keep 100% of the money?

How gullible are you? When a fighter says "I'll fight him for free" do you actually believe him? Saying and doing are 2 different things. Haye is just spitting nonsense to cover up the fact that he and his team are killing the fight. There is no way he would fight for just the UK TV money. It's hilarious to think that some people actually believe that fabrication of the truth.

He isn't saying that he'll fight him for free. The fight is worth a lot of money to UK satellite broadcasters and it'd easily be Haye's biggest payday.

Haye is offering to go to Germany and earn Junior 20-25% more than he could expect for fighting anybody else. And Junior is bottling the fight.
