Q: Who's the bigger draw at the gate?
A: Judging by previous fights it's hands down Wladimir

Q: Where have the largest crowds for heavyweight fights been recently?
A: Germany


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.

Also Lyle going off your argument if say Mayweather fought Amir Khan would Khan be entitled to 50/50 due to the fact he draws more people at the gate?

Or like you seem to have done just forget that Mayweather is a ppv star who generates millions through this and because of this deserves the lion share?

Your argument is based on a false premise. You're comparing the WBA title holder to Floyd Mayweather Jr. And you completely avoid the ratings that Wlad has on RTL, the Chagaev fight alone did outrageous numbers in Germany.

But isn't Haye not only bringing the British market but the American market as well? HBO said they wouldn't touch the Klitschko's, but they will with David Haye.

Lyle you just dont get it do you

Lyle read this and take it in. Haye brings far more money to the table than Wlad FACT.

OK, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's say he brings in more money than Wlad....how much more? Can you put a real number out there for me is it £2? £2 million? £20 million? Also allow me to ask you what would be the biggest money fight for the WBA title holder and why?

Also let's see again who rejected the fight, it wasn't Wlad. Wlad said "I'm good to go July 2nd after the Chisora fight"...so it seems to me that once again for some odd reason the WBA title holder and his camp are trying to make sure Wlad has been out of the ring a long time before he has this match up.

How so? Haye has agreed to July 2nd, he agreed to every concession. He'd have agreed a May or June date if Wlad had accepted, but apparently no arena in Germany was available in that time. Fine...stadiums in UK are available, but apparently that was deemed unacceptable despite the FACT that Wlad said he would fight Haye anytime, any place. I'm baffled as to how every major arena in Germany is unavailable in May or June. Football season is over in May, so why aren't they available?
