No doubt the Klitschkos are the bigger draw, but no fight in the HW division comes close to what an Haye vs V/W Klitschko fight would make and Haye plays a part in that draw. You're right we didn't see the contract, but the Klitschkos never said Haye was lying did they? A 60/40 split and no stupid fight my brother rematch clause would be a fair deal IMO.
They didn't say Haye wasn't lying either. Seriously with all the people talking shit about them you can't expect to rspond to everyone, or else they would have to say Toney is irrelevant every time he calls them out. A 60/40 split would be fair now that Haye has a belt, before he had a belt Haye was obviously worth less.
I know the fight with Ruiz is already done, I'm refering that Haye knew full well what he was getting himself into when he agreed to fight Valuev and give his promoters options over his next fights. I'm fairly sure that Haye's next fights will be as follows, assuming he keeps winning: Ruiz, winner of Meehan-Chagaev, rematch with Valuev. Hope I'm wrong.
Again, noone knows what the Klitschkos did or did not offer Haye in the contract. What we do know is that Haye was cool with it until the fight was close and he decided to pull out citing injury, end of. Also, what money does Haye bring to the table for the Klitschkos? Wlad sold out the stadium in their last fight by himself, anyone who didn't want to see Wlad-Chagaev was free to return the tickets and get their money back, but the stadium was still packed. The Klitschkos don't need Haye to make big money.

That's my understanding of how it went down. Haye's only income would come from Setanta Sports. It's there, check it out for yourself.
I did when they were supposed to fight and I'm pretty sure that the Klitschkos were going to pay him something too, don't know how much.
Are you telling me that K2 was going to pay him 0$, nada, for the fight? I find that very hard to believe.

the fight with ruiz is already done, its a mandatory and haye didnt want to lose his belt. we knew ruiz would have to be next since haye signed for valuev ffs. the idea all along was to take on a klitschko afterwards.
their other oponents dont make any money by themselfs, haye has his own fanbase and brings money to the event. he just wants what he deserves, the other of the klitschkos oponents dont have strong followings or bring any money to the table so they are pleased with whatever the k bros present to them. they couldnt fight valuev and make shitloads there, or defend their belt at home and made good money there.. haye can, and hes part of what makes a klitschko fight so big and deserves whats rightfully his.

Really, you have a copy of the contract? Because none of the Klitschko opponents until then had complained about a fair contract. David Haye apparently thought it was all right too, because he agreed to fight Haye, until he decided to pull out due to injury... Or was he lying about the injury?
I doubt we're ever going to see Haye in the ring with a Klitschko, it seems to me that he plans on defending his title against the WBA circle-jerk.

Haye's only income from the proposed fight/s with the Wladimir Klitschko was from Setanta Sports, which went bust about a month after Haye signed the contract to fight Wladimir.
He would have ending up fighting Wladimir and get no income for it so he decided to jump ship and claim injury.
I don't blame him personally. I wouldn't fight for free either.

This is it.
I don't believe for a second Haye was actually injured.

He's not going to fight them for £20's worth of HMV vouchers and a second-hand piano.
Haye is for all his bluster - a straight-shooter.
I doubt he has ever been given a good deal to fight either Klit - yet.

David Haye's scarf is my main concern. WTF's that? Some Delia Smith Norwich shit.
If he wore that shit around me I'd put him away with a sickening left-straight from my southpaw stance.
Well, first he will have to man up and fight a Klitschko.

David Haye retiring October next year?
If David Haye can beat Ruiz and beat a Klitschko, what a career that is??
Undisputed Heavyweight champion, Unified Heavyweight champion. In 25 fights. lol.
I'm sorry, but that is f.ucking brilliant if he could pull it off. Out of the game by the age of 30 with no damage done to his sensibilites, and with most of his life still ahead of him with a promotional company to manage.
Protected British fighters, eh?
Not Dave.
