Klitschko-Haye offer details

[mushahadeen]

By Karl Freitag

The David Haye camp has stated that Haye does want to fight Wladimir, but they cannot accept certain “financial details.” What are those details? “The offer was 50%/50%, no options,” Wladimir Klitschko advisor Shelly Finkel confirmed to *********.com. Finkel added that he hasn’t heard from David Haye’s manager Adam Booth in three weeks after initially speaking to him half-a-dozen times.

It seems the main hang-up was that the Haye camp wanted to keep 100% of the UK TV revenue and give Wladimir 100% of the German TV revenue. The Klitschko Camp wanted to put all the TV money in one pot and split it 50/50%, which they consider more than fair since Wladimir would be risking three belts to Haye’s one, and Wlad is widely considered to be the world’s true heavyweight champion.

Wladimir will now defend his belts against Alexander Povetkin on September 11 in Frankfurt, Germany, while Haye is expected to face Audley Harrison in an all-British affair in November.

Hopefully this dispute will not keep Haye from drawing more cartoons and ****.

Is there more money in the UK Television rights than the Germany television rights?

I guess so...

Nope.

Haye will make it a PPV and force UK fight fans to pay $30 to see it though whereas Klitschko's fight will be free for everyone in Germany, just like it always is, just like they always were in the USA.

If you are gonna force people to PPV a Klitschko fight it only makes sense that they get a share of the PPV revenue.

that's the only explanation why haye wouldn't want a piece of the german TV rights no?

I agree with Haye.

Floyd took zero of the UK TV revenue when he fought Hatton. Wladimir wants the income from the UK when he barely is known there

Floyd got millions of dollars in HBO and PPV revenue genius.

Wlad isn't going to charge German people to watch this fight, but Haye will make all the sorry sap Brits pay $30 or more to see his ass KO'd.

It's only appropriate that Wlad would get a share of any PPV revenue stream when he would otherwise prefer the fight to be free for all the fans of the world.

Haye will make it a PPV in the UK whereas the fight will be on public television in Germany.

Surely you can see the difference in profitability when one person in charging fans $30 to watch the fight and the other is charging them nothing.

In reality all of it is bull. Here is what happened: the original 50-50 split was not good enough when Haye realized that he will have to share with Saurelend, who wanted the revenue to be split not among the two teams(haye-klitschko) but among the Haye-Saurelend-Klitschko triangle. So, Saur wanted a piece of K2's revenue share and a probably even bigger piece of Haye's share.

Haye is willing to fight, he's just not ready to be fleeced by these vultures like other previous klit opponents.

Haye is being greedy.

Haye is not willing to fight, he is pretty smart, but he ain't a fighter. He is there to make a buck and **** off. Saurelened did not come out of nowhere, he was Haye's ticket to the Valuev fight, and you gotta pay off these tickets sooner or later. So, if he wanted to fight, we would already have these scraps.
So, now, he will be doing his routine for two more fights with absolutely no intent on ever fighting anyone remotely dangerous, unless Saur decides to make his own show, where he will probably put a relatively good Chagaev.
