Bit of a piss take when you take into account his opponent who put up a good fight but was never going to win and the performance of Klitshcko

yep that Klit fight would've sold very few in the UK and USA, Haye gets close to a million PPVs in the UK against Valeuv and Ruiz, he'd get 1.5M against a Klit, then HBO money on top of that.
No wander they both want to fight him so much they are arguing over who gets him lol.

Now thats what you call a cash cow, 25M against a mediocre no name fighter like albert, Just imagine if he was fighting a big name.

this is why the haye fight has to happen, haye would be able to bring at least 1 million buys from the uk on the table which would generate around 15-20m pounds. the brother would also be able to bring around the same amount if the fight is on ppv in germany

Title is a bit misleading, the fight generated $25 million that's not what Vitali earned.

vitali v haye > mayweather v pac

who would have thought

[iron mike tyson]

and sosnowski only earned 300k

These are quite surprising numbers. Even if it's just the revenue(which I think what that was) $25 mil is a very good number.
