That's not Wlad "being worried" that's Wlad being THE Champ and earning his fair share and rightfully so seeing how WLAD is the guy fighting in front of 60K plus

That's sort of my original point. Haye needs more bargaining power, because i actually reckon he would prefer the fight to be in England, or at least he would prefer to be on a more equal financial footing to either Klitschko when it comes to negotiating.

To do this he has to sell a lot of ppv's, and he has to hang on to his title. Harrison is perfect for this, as A) - it should be an easy fight, and B) - Sky will advertise the fuck out of it. Haye will get rich (again), the ppv does impressive numbers. Meanwhile Wlad bores his way through a rematch with Sam Peter.

Haye's stock rises further, Wlad's pretty much stays the same even if he wins, and that's provided he looks good.

Haye can then sit down and demand a fairer share of the deal. It's not even difficult to understand. Haye's been playing this game for over 2 years now. He's trying to put his name on equal footing to the Klitschko's, and he's actually doing quite well. Maybe not with the hardcores, but in effect they don't matter. He's appealing to the casuals and they're the fans who will make him a very rich man and the sort of following he continues to generate will continue to give him more weight at the negotiating table.

It's a game. You can say what you want about Haye, but he knows what he's doing. He's self-promoted himself from Friday Night Fight Night to PPV star, and he's made himself a lot of money on the way.

Do you really think he'd sell out the MEN without repeatedly calling out the Klitschko's? He's doing a cracking job and if it doesn't all end with him fighting either Klitschko (or both) then i'm Frank Warren.

Edit: In other words Lyle, relax, it will happen.
