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

[AdamGB]

The fact remains that he didn't withdraw entirely from the bout.

If people want to talk about the facts then they can talk about the facts... If you want to speculate then speculate.

I also lean toward the opinion that he wasn't going to get paid because Setanta when bust but I'll never say that as if it's more than speculation.

Unless you heard it from the horses mouth it's speculation, it might be pretty good speculation but it is still just speculation.

Also I think that irrelevant' or 'a moot point' would have been better words to use?

Spin it however you like, the guy didn't want to fight Wlad then. And he might not want to fight him now.

He never had the style to trouble Wlad.

[ono]

Spin it however you like, the guy didn't want to fight Wlad then. And he might not want to fight him now.

He never had the style to trouble Wlad.

Well he is slim enough to move around the ring, so straight away it poses more problems that 90% of the rest of the competition.

If Wlad can catch a prime Chris Byrd he won't have trouble finding the WBA title holder.

But act surprised when it happens

Byrd was also a southpaw counterpuncher with no power that waited on the shots coming and rarely lead.

Point noted but Byrd was one of the slickest heavyweights of recent memory ergo if you can catch him you shouldn't have an issue catching someone with little to no defensive prowess.

Lyle you will have to help get me back on the straight path mate. God knows I want to hate the Hayemaker but watching him sitting ringside for the Khan fight in his cowboy hat and then getting to his feet and cheering, I couldn't help but find him a tiny bit cool and almost liked him.

I beat those thoughts down but part of me is starting to become a fan in spite of myself

Do you guys bother to use reading comprehension? Yes Manny said the fight needs to get signed but he also said "50-50 all the way around"....and what is being offered is a different deal dressed up like its 50-50...its Sauerland wanting the fight to be shown on their network ARD and not RTL whether or not its of any benefit to Wlad or his opponent. And the opposition says ARD will offer ___ and RTL will offer less and if you take RTL's deal you have to pay the difference out of pocket when ARD can make up some imaginary figure that they "offer" but not in hopes of actually getting the fight. Its a bad deal and I think if Sauerland (who has made more fights fall apart than any other promoter I can think of) wasn't involved I think this fight would have been signed long ago.

No Lyle Haye has said it can be shown on whichever German station they want. That is a FACT.

At least they got his nationality right this time, last time the Klits were Russian

It looks like a lot of the obstacles that were stopping this fight being made before have been removed, so hopefully they'll get it signed soon. I'll still remain skeptical until its a done deal and they're in the ring, but its looking promising at least.

That's another half truth rjjtszyu because you left out the stipulation where they tell Wlad to pay the difference of any other offers out of his portion of the purse......that's a FACT

Where?? I've never seen anything of the sorts in these NEW negotiations. That was an old stipulation but nothing has been mentioned that I have seen since.
