From what I understand he didn't make the same amount but much less to fight Valuev. Only to pick up a paper belt. I've said this before. How much money did Buster Douglas get to fight Mike Tyson? A lousy $10,000. He trained hard and knocked Tyson out. His next fight coming in fat and out of shape(not his fault) Made 25 million for Evander. So IMO I would take the low end to fight Wlad,knock him out (because that's what he will do correct?) then fight for millions against big brother Vitali.

I am very curious to see the original contract of how much he was going to make.Then the contract that will be set-up for this fight.

You're not comparing like with like there thought. Buster Douglas was really one of the guys on the fringe of the heavyweight scene, had picked up a few good wins and some defeats along the way in his career, and was never expected to beat Tyson. Haye on the other hand is a former unified cruiserweight champion who has come up to heavyweight, KO'd a couple of gatekeepers, and claimed the share of the heavyweight title which the Klitshko's had neglected. He's also made no secret of his desire to only have a couple more fights before retiring with all his faculties intact. If he takes a tiny share of the deal with Wlad it would just be stupid business practice.

While I know Sky TV want Haye to face Audley Harrison and Tomas Adamek, I think a 50/50 deal with Wlad which has been rumoured is the way to go. Get the Wlad fight over and done with and then take out the small fry.
