    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?

    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.

    65/35 is fair in my view.

    Glad to see so many responses to the question. It's a fair question, after all, and probably applies to many other fights out there. I'm not against the argument that it would be Haye that allows Vitali to have the bigger payday... mostly because of the lack of credible competition out there. But Haye DID disgrace himself in the ring against Wlad, and cheated the fans out of hard-earned money, by putting in a half-assed effort. Should he then be rewarded by getting another huge purse, just because inexplicably he still has a somewhat large fan base in the UK? To me.... his performance against Wlad has a lot of weight when it comes to how much he should get paid for a fight with Vitali. Something in the system should say: "Look jackass..... you're getting the shots you want.... now go out there and EARN your money." Why is this way of thinking wrong?

    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!
