David Haye says one thing, does another...see video as to why 50/50 split is good...

[WladIsTheChamp]

Ok, so Gaye confirmed what Wlad has been saying, he has been offered a 50/50 split, but turned it down because he wants to keep all the UK money, essentially giving him a larger split of the purse than 50/50. But according to Gaye himself, it's not about the money, it's about being a unified champion.

Here is a video of him after the Valueve fight:

He states: "My whole... my whole thing is about being a champion, that's it, you know. If you think about money, then you gonna fall short you know, I only think about my goals and targets and if you achieve them, then the money comes with it. I want to unify the belts..."

Maybe Diva Gaye should listen to his own words of wisdom, if it's not about money and about unifying and being a champion, he should take the 50/50 offer from Wlad. Because if he wins, even bigger money will come. Unless of course he doesn't think he has a chance of winning and is instead afraid to loose that fake WBA trinket that really belongs to Wlad. I think that's the problem.

This fight either happens or it doesn't. Much like Pac May I've kinda given up waiting for any resolution any time soon.

Yep, gotta bump this up for delusional Brits like Blobby...

The kilts should be worried about their own low pay contracted deal rather than trying to steal from Hayes pot.

It's not Hayes fault that they signed for less money than him.

So did you hear what you Gaye coward liar said? Did you hear him say that money is not his issue? If that's true, and he wants to unified champion then 50/50 should not be a problem. Otherwise he is liar. Do you like to defend liars?

Wlad also said that money wasn't a problem. He made nothing from the UK for his other fights so wouldn't miss it, infact he would be making much more than other fights because he keeps all the German money.

This whole "who gets to keep the British PPV/German RTL money" crap really couldn't interest me less. But the point is that Haye alone is not the sole draw in the UK, as evidenced by the poor numbers of the Ruiz fight compared to the Valuev fight here, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't keep 100% of the British PPV. Wlad, on the other hand, could conceivably claim to be the sole draw in Germany where, after Haye's pullout in 2009 and the replacement by Chagaev, 99% of the audience who had paid for tickets didn't ask for refunds.

This whole situation boils down to does Haye want the fight or not. Money issues aren't the problem here.

I've seen no numbers at all for the Ruiz fight, Valuev numbers were never officially released either. So i don't know where you are getting your info.

OK then, so there's no evidence either way to state that Haye is the sole UK draw in his fights or not.

The fact is nobody in the UK will buy a Klitschko fight unless there is a Brit involved, so yes Haye is the draw.
