Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Povetkin: K2 Wins With a Monster Bid

3 is a conservative estimate.

I would say Haye's purse against Klitschko could be as much as 5 times what he will make against Harrison but I didn't want to sound ridiculous.

Haye could have probably made anywhere from 7-9 million for a Klitschko fight. I will be surprised if he made even 2 million against Harrison. I think the estimates of how much the Haye-Harrison fight is worth to UK fans are greatly overblown.

The charade that Haye is still "negotiating" with the Klitschkos is really pathetic. Haye counts on his UK fanbase being uniformed as to what is really going on.

Look at how happy Haye looks in the pic on the link now that he knows it won't be him getting brutally punished for 10-11rd before getting KTFO by Wlad.

I find it very funny that Haye starts talking in the UK press now that he is sure Wlad is fighting someone else -- and that Vitali is likely fighting Valuev.
What a piece of work Haye is.

British fans should feel insulted that Haye thinks he can sell a million PPV's to them against a guy like Harrison who will be KTFO from the first punch that lands.


If the Klitschkos ran their careers the way Haye does his then Wladimir would have fought Dimitrenko in Ukraine after he lost to Chambers, instead of fighting Chambers.

exactly. Its a joke

Perhaps this is old news. Perhaps it is not news at all. But, James Toney insists that he is negotiating a fight with David Haye for late this year. What if?

Wouldn't make much sense.

Haye would have to pay the WBA off to rank Toney.

Forget Haye. This will be a good one.

I'm glad, if the fight had been in Russia they would have probably tried to rob Wlad somehow.

Yes, I agree with you.

Haye "lost" about the same amount that Manny did when he fought Josh.

Haye is fighting someone who is coming off a loss ?
