Haye Statement - What could it mean?

[ono]

That is a little different Lyle Hatton has a huge fanbase from more or less day one, Haye's fans have only just come out to play since they have been led to believe he is the new Lennox Lewis by him the media and his team.

I mean only 18 months ago he only had 8000 in the O2 Arena ( half empty ) v Monte Barrett that was after an offer of by one get one free ticket was offered. If Haye gets beat I don't see him having the following of a Hatton.

Well I understand that, but if the guy fought both Klitschko's (win or lose both brothers want to fight him) he would make more money than let's say if Audley sparks him.

The flipside is Haye knocks out Audley makes £15m, and then makes another £10m or so fighting a mandatory, before fighting either Klitschko. I know which one i'd go for if i was Haye.

£15m for Audley? Dream on Your theory does make sense though.

Lets say Haye can get £5million for being a 70/30 underdog against a Klit or £2.5million for being a 90/10 favourite against Audley. He loses to a Klit and he's back at the bottom of the pile. A spectacular KO over Audley increases his value for future fights.

What do you choose?

Yeah maybe £15m is a bit excessive. I forgot Sky will take a percentage of the PPV. I reckon it wouldn't be off £5m.

Fantana broke it down quite well in a different thread.

It's a no brainer for Haye imo.
