Vitali will be retired by then, Wlad should still be in his prime though he will have run out of opponents by then. Any other champ in Wlad's era could EASILY put a year between fights, Wlad still fights 2 times a year.
What happens if Chicken Little gets dusted by a lesser opponent? What happens to all that money then?
Haye's team is savvy they know which fights to maximize their earning potential with little risk. Let's say a fight with Evander Holyfield, put it on British PPV. Bill that fight as a possible Moorer-Foreman type fight and have Evander help out by saying George Foreman became the oldest HW champ and he's going to surpass that. It'll make big money, his countrymen like LeftyLee, Rjjtszyu, Tyson-Bruno and the general UK public will lap it up and put out the money.
As Skel estimated, £10 million for fighting Harrison, convert that to the USD it's almost 16 million, and that's fighting Harrison!
Haye can keep on doing this for next 5-6 fights and probably earn in the vicinity of 80 million USD.
