    Regarding David Haye/Slave Contract Allegations

    the question has never been answered by him

    nor have i seen anyone ask


    he signed the contract the first time to fight Wladimir in the summer of 2009

    and he pulled out of that because of an "injury".................

    where were the allegations then?????????? and why did he sign then?
    and not now???? what was the DIFFERENCE?


    by the way, i WAS a huge david haye fan before
    he started avoiding the klits with this bull**** talk

    The difference is, Haye realized he was bringing a lot of money to the table, and didn't want to let Wlad or Vitali keep all of it. In a K2 promoted fight against Wlad or Vitali, the contender gets a lump sum somewhere between 500K-1.5mil US and the Klitschkos have a two or three fight rematch deal.

    So instead of figthing them, he grabbed a world title off Nikolai Valuev. It was a slick move by Haye; no long a contender, he's now a title-holder and a fight with Wlad or Vitali would be a unification.

    Usually a Klitschko fight is in germany with the Klitsckos making their regular rate from their TV deal and whatever cut of the live gate/advertising K2, their promotional company, usually gets. Against Haye, there would be that, plus 1mil+ british PPV buys and potentially a sellout crowd at wembley stadium.

    K2 wants all the money, british, german, and american put into one pot to be split 50/50.

    Haye has said he wants it 50/50 in that the Klitschkos keep their TV money, and he(Haye) gets all the british PPV money. All else would be split down the middle.

    Klitscko's manager has rejected this because he said Haye's PPV money would be much greater than the german TV money. Haye has suggested negotiate a better TV deal in Germany, but K2 rejected this (didnt reply to the offer)

    So whats fair? Is it fair that Haye would have to give K2 some of the money that brits are paying in order to see David Haye? Should Wlad get more money because he has more belts?

    While I would like to see Vitali/Haye happen, and will be rooting for big Vitali, I'm a fight fan before im a fighter fan. I personally feel that K2 needs to get off it's high horse. Haye has a title and, by their own admission, brings a lot more money to the table.

    This fight ain't getting made without letting David keep the british PPV money. Haye has already shown by pulling out of the fights twice that he'll walk if things don't go his way. He can stay in England and get ****** rich fighting bums, and that would suit him just fine.

    If the Klitschko's pride would be hurt by giving Haye more money, they can easily regain it by getting in the ring and ****ing Daivd up.

      Haye would not sell nearly as many PPVs if a Klitschko wasnt in the other corner
