How much you think Haye SHOULD get paid for fighting Vitali?

[TitoFan]

30/70. To be a bit generous. He would deserve more if he would have manned up in his defeat agaisnt Wlad and didn't make all that empty yip-yapping.

Good, reasonable choice. I personally think we should start holding fighters accountable for their efforts come fight time, and voted "only if he actually tries this time". Sounds outlandish, but maybe this kind of thing would help boxing by making the fights better.

Yea I think he should probably have his training expenses and airfare covered, but the rest of a possible 15% purse would be on a performance basis

[erics44]

Vtali wouldnt get half as much for a fight with helenius and provetkin on the same night

therefore haye deserves a large wad of the cash

[LobowolfXXX]

Based on the entertainment value of his last fight, I'd say he deserves 50...

CENTS.

[Snakey]

5 bucks

How often do big fights have fair percentage splits these days based on boxing merit and achievement alone ?

He doesn't deserve as much as Vitali thats for sure but as eric points out he is giving Vit a massive pay day too so deserves more for that . 40\60 probably in the right ball park

Yep, im in agreement with this, Vitali see's this as a payday, bigger than any other payday out there at this time. Haye has to take props for that, 60-40 in Vitali's favour would be fair in my eyes!

I've gone with this too. Seems about right.

Does Haye have the same appeal in Britain/Europe as he did before the Wladimir fight? If he does then you are correct, but if not, he shouldn't get the same amount as he did to fight Wladimir. He got 50/50 for that one, right?

[monzon]

Give Vitali what he was paid for his last fight and then Haye everything else.

Course Haye doesn't deserve the fight, or even the split, but then Vitali doesn't deserve to earn more than he's worth because Haye's more popular than him (outside of Germany & Ukraine at least).

Ultimately, two boring fighters, two boring personalities, and a fight which virtually no-one wants to see.

Actually, I would venture that the UK is the *only* place where Haye is more popular/a bigger draw. Certainly Vitali is the much bigger name/draw in the U.S.

[captainanddew]

65/35 is fair in my view.

[rjj tszyu]

I'm not right bothered to be honest. Haye obviously has an amount in mind that he thinks he should get although I do also think that he may be in it to restore some pride in this fight after pretty much no showing against Wlad.

I am interested in seeing the fight because I still think he is the 3rd best HW out there but as for money Vitali obviously should get quite a bit more as defending champ, maybe 30/70!
