Vitali offers Haye 50/50 split and will fight him in England. Lets get it on now Haye

[El Kabong]

If it is a true 50/50 split then the fight well be made. Or Vitali is full of shit. This will be by far Vitali be biggest payday. He should take the fight and retire a rich man.

...he shouldn't get paid that much for this it's not going to be a challenging ask for him.

1 guy has never been knocked down and has KO'd 88% of his opponents...meanwhile the other fella just "fought" Audley Harrison

Haven't bothered to read through the thread, but I actually don't see why Vitali should get 50% of the purse.

What does he bring to the table that Haye doesn't?

A lineal title? No.

A alphabet belt? Haye's brings the same amount.

A lucrative TV deal? We've already established that Haye brings much more in through his even against the likes of Audley.

The best German deal? No, ARD are willing to offer more but the Bros want to stick with RTL.

A huge live audience? Maybe, but in this case it doesn't even seem that he's bringing that, even if he was, I don't see how it earns him half.

I could see Wlad getting half, but not Vitali he just doesn't have enough clout, and at the end of the day boxing is a business.

Vitali has a proven chin, but given the sheer weight involved anyone at this weight has the chance of knocking their opponent out. I think to say that Haye can won only by a decision is a bit diminutive.

That being said Haye has been particularly cautious since joining the heavyweight ranks and I would expect him to attempt to outbox and outscore Klitschko.
I think this fight(s) has become the second most over-anticipated matchup after the holy grail of our generation (PaCvs.PBF) and it just needs to happen already.

Against Wlad, it would be a fast death before the 6th. With Vitali, it could be a total mashed up till the 10-11th. Depends if you prefer a quick death or standing up as long as you can.
