Hayes manager trying to make up legitimate excuses...

Hayes manager on fighting Wladimir Klitschko.

From Boxing News today (source not confirmed):

"We said everything would be 50-50 but that each territory could go to where the highest amount could be made. They insisted that [in]the German territory [the broadcaster] would have to be RTL but ARD are our [German TV] partner and would be interested in showing the fight. Our view was, 'if you want to restrict your territory, you keep it and we'll have have the UK and you have Germany. Everything else can stay 50-50.' Also Sauerland Event gave us the opportunity to win the WBA tile and are our promotional partner - they need to be considered. We've never said no to the Klitschko fight."

"There are plenty of other options out there, David's not really interested in Audley Harrison. There is a lot of talk about Audley being a fight people want to see but I'm not convinced. Tomasz Adamek could sell a lot of tickets to Poles in London. But David is the British world heavyweight champion and in London the maximum indoor capacity is 14,700. The MEN is an option.

how is haye wanting to keep the money he brings in england to himself and excuse?

its fair

klitchsko keeps german revenue and haye keeps english, the reason klit rejected is because haye brings more money to the table and would make more.

atleast hes not fighting audley. adamek would be a great fight, i wanted to see that fight longer than i wanted to see haye fight a klitschko. and all hype aside its acctually a better matchup.

idk exactly what all the terms are and how they work, i just know haye has to fight a klitschko sooner or later. that said adamek is an acceptable fight right now, i wouldnt complain if it got made. anything else is a joke though, i dont care if its harrison or a valuev rematch.

Haye and his goggle-eyed manager seem to automatically assume that everyone in the UK is a Haye fan and/or is only paying for the right to see Haye in the ring. Speaking personally, that's bull****.

nobody pays money to see the sisters, in fact I believe after they showed one of the brothers fight, the viewer numbers were so low that sky sports never showed another klit fight again

People keep forgetting that Haye isn't the champion. He doesn't deserve 50/50 so saying that he does just doesn't make ANY sense at all.

He wont be fighting Adamek this year though,the man is fighting Michael Grant next months which will be his third fight of 2010,he wont fight again in November.

so did mosley deserve a bigger pot of the money against floyd because he was the champ?

you know as well as I do the people who make the most money do the talking

haye keeps 100 of uk and vitali keeps 100 of germany, thats fair.

it doesnt matter who is champion these days, its about who the public pay to see, if haye makes more money from his fights then maybe the public prefer to see him to fight rather than vitali?

Haye isn't trying to fight Vitali, so I'm not sure what your point is. Both Wlad and Vitali sell out 20k seat arenas in Germany on a regular basis.

I'm sure 9 out of 10 people here will agree, Haye doesn't deserve 50/50 regardless.

What happened to making a little less money and being a legitimate heavyweight rather than fighting Ruiz and Valuev for the worst belt the heavyweight mix has to offer.
