How much? Not as much as you think they are worth. But maybe you like 'Slaves'.
It's a case of 50/50 allegedly. Dan Rafael ran it but there were no actual quotes of 50/50 from the Klitschko man Bernard Boente - Dan quoted him on everything else.
But say it is 50/50 - what is Klitschko bringing financially? Stadium sales potentially - it depends where the fight is. HBO, they are only interested in the Klits if they fight Haye or Adamek.
German TV ain't PPV its free to air while UK TV is PPV and Haye hit 800,000 beating on Ruiz.
Put all that together and a 50/50 split while sounding good actually means the Klits eat into the money brought by Haye.
Then we have Povetkin and once again the "Slave contracts" from the Klitschko's which mean - Fight a Klitschko and if you win you have to rematch and fight the brother for less money than they are getting. That ain't a fair deal and Haye, now he has a belt ain't gonna sign it.
We can say Haye is ducking but I'd rather see it on the evidence that he ain't gonna be their bitch.
