Haye offered 50/50 to fight Wladimir

[The Shadow]

Dan Rafael is reporting that Haye is being offered 50% of the take, to fight Wladimir, and the deal would give the Klitschko's NO future options on Haye

I have never heard of the Klitschkos offering such a generous deal to any of their opponents before.

Haye really talked himself into a sweet position.

I'm very skeptical about such an offer. Haye has done anything to deserve a 50/50 split. There has to be some stipulation in the contract where the majority of PPV revenue goes to Wladimira. I'm doubtful Haye will ever take the fight. If he does, he better hope to land a perfect right early on, or it will be a relatively short night for him.

Any thoughts on that outrage with the elder sister and the Sonoski (sp?) -- and I'm too lazy to check -- fight? Thinking of creating a thread of HW's with the most padded records of all time. Klit senior would surely make the top 10.

haye will prob not take the fight, he'll find some excuse to walk away siteing some unfairness in it.........he knows he can make money fighting old limited fighters, why blow it away and get toasted fighting one of the big guys.........he pulled out vs wlad, he turned down vitali....i'm really sick of these types of fighters......just be honest and dont call out people you'll never want to fight just so as to get your name out there

[El Kabong]

The #1 thing I want to know is why (if such a sweetheart deal has been offered) is the WBA title holder considering the following fights: Audley Harrison, James Toney, Hasim Rahman, and Shannon Briggs I really doubt that the fight will happen now

Thinking of creating a thread of HW's with the most padded records of all time. Klit senior would surely make the top 10.

Vitali's record since 2002 has some respectible names on it before that time it was kind of hard for him to get a fight vs a top teir heavyweight what with him being 6'8 and having all but 1 of his wins coming by KO at that point. To be honest Vitali never would have had the chance to fight Lennox Lewis without the injury to Kirk Johnson and pressure from fans and media.

Great quotes in boxing news magazine.

"Vitali wants to fight Valuev because of his fight and Haye because of his mouth".

And this classic frmo Bernd Boente, the Klit's managers: "Haye is like a little dog barking at bigger dogs that pass his kennel. He never does anything, just barks back".

[ElTerribleMorales]

Vitali has wins over
Arreola
Peter
Williams
Johnson
Gomez
and his only two losses are against Byrd and Lewis, most people had him ahead in both and he only lost due to injury (Byrd was his shoulder, although i thought he could have just gutted it out, and Lewis was the nasty gash)
so don't see how his record is all that padded

he's done a hell of a lot better than Haye has in his entire career, sorry but wins over an old faded Mormeck (especially after being dropped) and a win against the average Enzo are his biggest moments at Cruiserweight, Adamek's close win against Cunningham was already better than that

Haye will stay quiet it for another month. Wlad agrees to fight Povetkin. Haye comes out running his mouth talking about his cell and cable was off and he wasn't aware of no offer. Wlad is still ducking him. Haye groupies say having your cell and cable turned off can happen to anybody and that if Wlad really wanted to fight him he would of paid Haye's bills for him.

It's been 2 months already, and the Haye groupies are still blaming Wlad for this fight not being made.

...I'm just waiting for the Harrison fight to get made. That should cause for some amusing posts

Vitlai has said again Haye is a pussy offered 50/50 acorss the board for both Klits and does not want the fight, now something else I have read don't no if this is true but one of the problems is that now Sauraland ( spelling ) has rights he and K2 have contracts with rival networks in Germany is this true can anyone tell me??Haye is a bitch end of story for me.

But anyway here is the Vitali interview from Cardiff Wales:

I dont buy the rumor.

As much as the Klits want to make " Pizza face" out of the guy, they will not be splitting the purse 50/50. He hasnt given the bro reason to

Hes got to fight one good fight, attract more attention to him self, make the fight look spectacular, which will draw more crowds, sponsors, coverage, and more importantly what the Bro's want the most...United state respect and recognition.

There is with out a doubt the #1 goal of any boxer is to fight in NYC stadium, or rather any United states Atheletic arena to a full, sold out show with 60-80k in attendance, and this will not happen with just the Klit bro alone, and quite frankly Haye has not created a big splash yet state side.

Lenox lewis had to go through hell and back to gain the respect and recognition in the states and in my opion hes by far way more talented than Hayes is

Obviously not been doing your research, Haye v Valuev did 800,000 ppv buys in the uk at £15.00 a pop, so that fight alone without HBO did £12 million quid. So there is the reason Haye is a big draw.

Thats the reason that they won't let him have all the British TV money now too. Funny how they agreed to that when it was only Setanta he was with and not Sky.

50/50 is very fair acoross the board mate, Haye and Booth have obvisouly been taken a back by how much they can make through brand Haye and no that would be burst by fighting Klits, so they are pussying out for sure so they can make a few more big money fights wihtout much danger.

Yeah not denying that skel, I am a big Haye fan and I am disappointed in him not taking this deal myself, but I'm just pointing out that last year the Klits wanted Haye to just take the British TV rights and they take all German etc. Now they won't accept that and want to put it all in one pot and split it, according to schaefer that is why the deal broke down.

For some reason I think he takes on Holyfield.Recognizable name, not a threat at this point, big money maker on sky, etc.

Rumours now they are waiting for Toney to come through the UFC fight, that would be good viewing beforehand see the trash talking.
