Adam Booth Says Wlad is refusing to sign a 50/50 split fight with Haye.

A valid and as yet unthought of question was posted on page 1.

Why ARENT Wlad and Vitali each other's mandatories? I've never even thought of that.

Because (all due respect) its a dumb fucking idea. They won't fight each other and everyone that wants that fight is a complete fucking moron. Never has this been asked of ANY other boxing family....its fucking stupid, stop bringing it up.

"With all due respect" my ass. I find your response wholly unnecessary in both it's hostility and presumptuousness. If that's even a word.

I had never considered it.

I had never heard it talked about.

I do not believe people imagining a fight between the two brothers to be "fucking morons."

I did not realize, at the request of the athlete's involved, that the laws of the sanctioning bodies as it pertains to mandatory fights could be completely discarded based on relationships between fighters.



Yknow Lyle, lots of folks give you a mountain of shit for your unwavering support of the Klitschkos. Sometimes rightfully so. Im a pretty big fan myself, so Ive always tended to quietly support at least the spirit of your arguments.

But now you pissed me off.

To answer your first question mate, they have never been made each others mandatories because none of the major 4 governing bodies rank any of the other champions. So they cannot become each others mandatory defence, if that makes sense.

plus they will not fight each other, there mother said.

[ElTerribleMorales]

the idea of having two brothers fight each other is ridiculous, the point of boxing is to inflict physical damage on your opponent, sometimes have fatal consequences

and you're telling me you'd wanna see two brothers kill each other?

it's ridiculous, you actually think if they did end up fighting each other it would be entertaining?!? hell no, you know they're not going to go at it, especially as close as they are, they're gonna have it in the back of their head that that's their blood across the ring and all they'd do is look at each other and maybe paw away

Haye needs to stop talking so much and just fucking fight

[somnolence]

I know the Klits would never fight and don't expect it or want to see it, but does anyone know if there's any footage of them sparring anywhere? It'd be interesting to see, that's assuming they do spar together.

Not getting my hopes up too much on the Haye fight, but I think the most solid sign that it'll happen is here
"We are now perfectly positioned to get together and make this fight with Wladimir Klitschko. "Despite the fact we know we bring more UK television money to the table, David and I are happy to split the entire pot 50-50 and grant Wladimir the deal he has wanted since day one.
"We have offered them 50-50 on everything - just as they requested - and now see no reason why this tremendous fight can't happen. The path is clear." from Adam Booth.
In that quote too it clearly says it's been the Haye camp holding up over the TV money, as we suspected.
Seems promising, as long as the extra money that's been mentioned doesn't become a factor. This clearly should be complete 50/50, and Booth and Haye should know it.

[BIG H]

Let's pretend that the Klits were not brothers. I reckon Vitali starches Wlad personally. As I've said many times (in my opinion) Haye has a punchers chance against Wlad. If Sanders and Brewster can KO him it's stupid to suggest that Haye cannot. However I still think Wlad KOs Haye within 9 minutes and possibly within 3. As far as Vitali goes (again in my opinion) Haye's only chnace is if Vitali has a heart attack and dies in the ring. Haye cannot KO Vitali and that is his only chance of winning. Again I don't see it going past 3 rounds
