    Not if he loses he doesn't.

    What if he had the choice between £5million for fighting a Klit and £5million for fighting Audley?

    What should he choose? Bearing in mind he's a huge favourite in one fight and a big underdog in the other?

    Who cares if he's the favorite? Let's assume Chicken Little fought and lost to Wlad, say he earned about 7-6 mil for that fight....which opponent would he make more money off of Vitali (who may give him a 80-20 split) or Harrison who may then want something closer to 70-30 or even 60-40 seeing how Chicken Little was coming off a loss. Sure he may HAVE to fight in Germany, but odds are he'd still make more money that way because Vitali is obviously a bigger draw than Harrison. My main argument is 20% of 60,000 tickets is greater than 70% or 80% of 20,000 tickets.

    I agree with you about David Haye a lot but I have to correct you here. Let's assume the tickets are £10 each for arguments sake:

    20% of 60,000 = £120,000

    80% of 20,000 = £160,000.

    So, you're main argument, is wrong.

    Why would Vitali want to fight Haye after china-chin has beaten him? Haye's stock drops massively the second he loses. The Klits wanted the rematch clauses just in case Haye sparks china-chin.

    And the Audley fight would be worth absolute peanuts if Haye was coming off a loss. There'd be no PPV. In fact there'd be no fight because Audley will have gone another route.

    What do you mean - "who cares if he's the favourite?" Only a fucking mental patient would choose a tougher fight for the same/less money. Fact.
