The 2009 deal with Vitali was the same except that Sky PPV money had replaced the Setanta money.
If Chisora is getting the same deal as the 2009 deal with Vitali, then he would end up with more like 25% than 50% of the total purse.Comment

Derek Chisora will make more money than Wladimir Klitschko.
You certainly told me.Comment

The 2009 deal with Wlad (see here) was that Klitschko would receive an undisclosed percentage of the Setanta money plus all the other revenue the fight generates, including rights fees from HBO, RTL in Germany, the rest of the foreign television sales, the live gate and sponsorship money. Haye would get an undisclosed percentage of the Setanta money and that's it.

Earlier he compared Haye to Oscar De La Hoya when he was negotiating with Floyd and Pac.Comment

He seemed to think that Haye can maintain the level of mass interest his fight with Valuev drew and make 10 mill a fight by fighting "bums" in all his remaining fights after this Harrison farce, just because Ricky Hatton was a PPV draw.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see currently being near the same level of cemented attraction that Hatton was. And Hatton wasn't fighting bums, anyway - I don't think he ever had one PPV fight that was near as embarrassing a matchup as Haye-Harrison in competetive terms, even inactive Lazcano was a much better fight than this. When the domestic rivalry angle isn't there, the British public will lose interest in seeing Haye against undeserving opponents quickly if he doesn't step his comp up soon.Comment

Are you aware that the name of Wlad's promotion company, K2, stands for "Klitschko 2"? That the brothers are effectively running their own promotion company and Boente works for them as a full time employee? And that he is Wlad's manager, not just his promoter, and that anything he says is as their official spokesman? Which is the reason boxingscene contacted Boente to ask him for his comments on what Haye had said?
In any case, since Haye hasn't had any communication of any sort with the Klitschkos since May, why would you imagine that anything about the deal could have changed since May? Wlad has said repeatedly since May that there is no rematch clause on the table. And there have not only been no negotiations since May, but no contact of any sort.Comment

Because its so obvious, it doesnt even require discussion. Its so mind-numinbingly ***in ******ed to suggest Chisora is getting half the purse with Wlad.
Haye fights on PPV. His fight with Harrison will obviously generate more tv money than Wlad fighting Sam Peter or whoever on free tv in Germany. Again, why does a discussion need to be had about something so blatantly obvious.
