1) The second part of your first sentence directly contradicts the bolded part. Make your mind up, either one or the other of those statements is untrue by definition.
2) You're talking absolute rubbish in the rest of your post. The fight will bring far more than $20 million from non-UK sources, including the sponsorship (mostly German), the live gate (mostly German, with a >60,000 crowd), the worldwide TV rights in more than 100 countries, including a large contribution from HBO (most of whom would not pay to screen any other Haye fight, and all of whom would pay far more for a Haye-Klitschko fight than for any other Haye fight).
3) The UK PPV for Haye vs. a Klitschko will almost certainly be at least double the PPV that any other Haye fight could generate. The idea that the Klitschkos shouldn't get a share of the PPV that they help to generate is so ****** and ridiculous that anyone who supports his claim cannot be taken seriously. I used to think you were an objective poster, but when it comes to Haye, I've realised recently that you are a complete nuthugger.
Can you imagine the reaction if Floyd insisted on getting 100% of the US PPV money, and said Pacquiao could keep the Filipino TV money, and they would split everything else down the middle? That's exactly analogous to what Haye is asking for.
4) The idea that either Klitschko, who between them have cleaned out the division and have barely lost a round in the last few years, would accept less than a 50% purse to fight a contender who has so far only fought one top 10 opponent, whom he only beat by the narrowest of margins, is also so ridiculous it's laughable. If Haye won't fight for 50%, that means he doesn't want the fight. And if you take your mouth away from Haye's balls and think about it, you'll realise that.
5) The reason the Sky money is greater than the RTL money is that RTL are terrestrial (like the BBC) and as a result of that deal, more than 20 million German fans watch the Klitschkos' fights on average, compared with an average of less than a million British fans who watch Haye's fights. As a result, boxing is a mainstream sport in Germany, as it used to be in the UK when the terrestrial channels showed big fights and more than 15 million fans used to watch British fights on TV. If you seriously want the Klitschkos to turn boxing in Germany into a niche sport by going down the PPV/Satellite route, then you are simply not a boxing fan and you should seriously stop posting in boxing forums.
