    With the Adamek fight, negotiations couldn't have started for that in the last day or so.
    No it doesn't, but you're missing on something essential, the PPVs this fight would sell in england would not all be thanks to Haye, it would be thanks to Wlad too, so he deserves his share. You think Haye fighting anyone who isn't Wlad would do the same numbers? Get real. And the HBO money would be thanks to the Klitschkos who have fought several times there, Haye has been shown 0 times by HBO. 50/50 is more than fair.

        The UK general population will buy all the sky sports hype, almost everyone in the UK knows who Haye is. It's quite ridiculous since he's not done much at HW, when he was a Cruiser almost no one knew who he was despite achieving alot more.
        No it isn't. The PPV numbers will in part be thanks to Wlad too, unless you think Haye fighting Chagaev would do the same as Wlad-Haye, in which case I don't know what to tell you. When has Haye sold out a stadium? Never.

          While Adamek is 49, and both Klitschkos, Wlad and Vitali, are inside the top 20 at 8 and 12 respectively. How do you like that, Gaye fans?
          if haye sux so much, why won't wlad fight him?

            True, Klitschko is a big name so would generate extra interest in this fight. Haye however is a big name in England and would sell a lot of PPV's regardless. He may sell the same numbers with Vitali haha!

            50/50 is the MOST Wlad deserves though with the money each fighter generates.

              Wlad the impaler is better known than Klitschko in the U.K, and he's a 15th century Hungarian prince.

                More like why won't Haye fight him. Wlad agreed to fight on July 2nd, fact. Haye refused to sign and decided to fight Chagaev instead, fact.

                I'm sure Wlad is heartbroken. Actually that doesn't reflect very well on the UK, are you telling me they are nationalistic sheep who have drunk Haye's kool aid? Man that's terrible When will Haye fight and KO a top 10 HW? Anytime soon?

                  Haye was forced into the Chagaev fight by default because Wlad signed to fight Chisora. Haye couldn't legally sign a contract with Wlad, because as soon as he signed to fight Chisora, his mandatory extention was rendered void.

                    Well if he could sell more than any Wlad fight has with a PPV with Harrison im pretty sure he is the main PPV attraction while Haye may have never fought on HBO at least he doesnt have a lifetime ban from them lol

                      Lol, yeah I'm sure you believe that. I mean it's not like the WBA is the corrupt organization that stripped Chagaev AFTER Wlad had beaten him to give the belt to Valuev. It's not like they ranked Audley after Haye decided to fight him, right?

                      Wlad said he would fight both Chisora and Haye, and Haye didn't sign fact. Haye could have signed and if Wlad pulled out of the fight, he could have pointed his finger at him and everybody would support him, but the truth is, he didn't.
