He has never done good PPV numbers.. infact Haye is probably the main selling point of this fight, people are curious about him.. he's a young, hungry fighter who alot of people are predicting to knock Wlad out, this kind of buzz hasen't been in the division for a few years at least.

The odd thing is the brothers are demanding a rematch clause for both of the brothers - they must be scared of Haye sparking them out to stall negotiations over that?
Haye deserves the smaller split. He's not the champion. He hasn't even proven he's a contender in the Heavyweight division. You say Wlad has never done good PPV numbers. That's cuz he's never headlined a PPV. LOL. What are Haye's numbers? Are they any better?
Wlad is the FAR more economically viable fighter than Haye. He brings more TV money by virtue of being a regular HBO fighter (in contrast to Haye, who has only appeared once on Showtime and never on HBO--he's a virtual unknown in the US). And his gate draw is overrated as they had a lot of empty seats for his fight against Barrett. That would never happen at a Wlad fight in Germany regardless of opponent. Haye deserves SIGNIFICANTLY less of the split. If he wants more, he needs to get on the major networks and impress the people against legit heavyweight contenders, thus creating more interest in himself and the fight. He won't do that though because he knows the first legit heavy to tag him on the chin will put him to sleep.
