Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs Haye Sparks a £50 Million Bidding War

[Rick Grimes]

Blah blah, all the Haye nuthuggers can do is talk, much like their hero. There are reports that Vitali made 15 million in his last fight, and that the Klitschko fights regularly do close to 8 million euros, that caan easily be found on the internet.

Why don't Haye nuthuggers show reports of how much Haye does make, huh? Because they have nothing to support their argument, that's why

Only Klitschko's manager saying that the money from the UK is much much more than anything from Germany or the rest of the world, he must have seen something to make him think that.

No, I haven't. Post it here and point the minute at which he says it, please.

I just don't understand the reason these fools argue. If they don't have a back up or source, why even debate? ****** Haye fans

Yep. It's so funny, debates with Mr Blobby end the moment you ask him back up his statements, because he just pulls things out of his ass and tries to make fools believe him I usually wonder if he believes half the **** he writes, or if he's just trolling.

You're being extremely disingenious, to put it mildly. What Boente actually said was that the Sky PPV money is more than the RTL money That's just stating the obvious, given that RTL is a free to air terrestrial channel and Sky is PPV. He did not say that it was more than the combined worldwide TV money not counting Sky, as you imply he did; and in fact it is nowhere near as much as the combined worldwide TV rights money not counting Sky.

The context in which Boente said that was simply that Haye was saying at that time that he wasn't willing to split the purse down the middle (despite having said in the same statement that all he wanted was 50/50 -so Haye was blatantly contradicting himself). Haye said he wanted all of the Sky money, Wlad could have all the RTL money, and the rest of the purse (worldwide TV rights, sponsorship and gate) could be split down the middle. Boente said no, because obviously Sky PPV pays more than RTL free to air.

But Sky PPV pays far less than the rest of the worldwide TV money combined, and far, far less than the rest of the purse combined, including sponsorship and gate money.

In the Vitali-Solis fight, Vitali reportedly made 15 million Euros. Only 5 million of that came from RTL, which means that for the Solis fight, Vitali alone made 10 million Euros from the worldwide TV payments outside of Germany, plus sponsorship and gate money. And the Haye fight will command far higher worldwide TV fees than the Solis fight did. For the Solis fight, the US TV rights reportedly only cost $150k. For the Haye fight, HBO plan to show it and will have to pay millions of dollars to do so. And that's just the US. It will be shown in more than 100 countries,
