It's Sky and the other camp not wanting Wlad to have the Chisora tune up before hand....those are the ONLY points of contention that I see.

In reality the gate means fuck all I agree Wlad v Joe Bloggs and Haye v Joe Bloggs Wlad does more numbers, Haye v Wlad in England could easily match or better Wlad v Haye in Germany.

The money is ppv and Haye is the one who has the numbers for that you can talk all you want about wlad seeling 60 thousand tickets Haye has sold over 700 thousand ppv's in his last three fights against in reality no one near the level of Wlad in name and talent.

If we broke everything down Haye brings way more to the party when it comes to income generated, I would like to see Wlad make $10 million dollers against Chisora similar to what Haye made v Audley, the answer is he won't and nowhere near.

I have been down on Haye in the past and I said this is your last free ride in the Audley fight and now he has bent over backwards to all demands and still Wlad want's to fight Chisora.

Now Lyle go check last time Wlad fought twice in 8/9 weeks back in 2000 I think nearly 11 years ago, this fight won't happen he should not be fight Chisora on this date, ok fair enough he wants a tune up he has been out of the ring for a while.

He was playing golf 10 days after this so called injury prior to the Del Boy fight so why not get the fight on for the back end of feb or march?, then the July date will be alot more likely.
