Comments Thread For: Team Klitschko: Haye Wants 50%, Ridiculous Guarantee

[nomadman]

Haye vs Chisora, winner gets Vitali.

Easy peasy!

Pretty much. That's the fight the public want to see. (I believe Haye is getting inundated with emails about it)

[shade darkar]

No it wouldn't. Gaye has single handedly stopped PPV boxing in the UK

not fully true that. khan had something to do with it aswell, jumping ship at the last minute to primetime.

And that was also Gaye's fault. Gaye got the Audley fight on PPV and Sky were so ashamed of it, they wouldn't do PPV for Khan so he had to move to Primetime. Gaye has single handedly taken money out of British fighters pockets.

Boente didn't make the 50% the "sticking point, you are well off-base here. What the hell do you know about Klitschko contracts?? Nothing exactly. What you DO know, and lap up greedily, are the illogical, ridiculous far-out claims of the Haye PR crapper, to try to justify them getting a larger portion of the purse, which they relentlessly pursued and got. They do this for every "negotiation". You know this as well as anyone. They look on it as "loot" I shouldn't wonder, because they are little else but pirates.

I'm sure that Boente has a thousand and one things to do and think about, expecially after a big fight with an aftermath like we've just seen. You seem to think that they only exist to answer your conspiracy fantasies, and their full time is all yours on demand. They run a multi-million EURO business with global ramifications, are UN ambassadors and goodness knows what else. They don't have the time to waste on conspiracies. Besides Klitschko spends the vast majority of his time on running his political party.

You surprise me more and more. It's as if you'd just found out that the Klitschkos had murdered both your parents when you were a kid and needed them most. There's no acounting for mental quirks. I hope you snap out of it, because I've always liked your posts and don't want to feel that they're not worth reading.

Yes he did, Boente said that Haye wanting 50% of the British PPV money was ridiculous despite Haye agreeing to the lesser cut. Even Mayweather let Hatton take 100% of the British PPV money.

And I feel bad for those boxers, who have agreements with his company. Klitschko asked me to compete for K2 but his offer wasn't even remotely close to the one which could satisfy me."

Even Don King offers better deals than the Klitschkos and King screws everybody over.

Do you really think that Vitali deserves more than 50% of the British PPV money, should Haye fight for free. What kind of deal is acceptable for you.

they wouldnt do a PPV for khan because a few fighters dropped out of the undercard i believe.

Wait! I thought Haye already beat Chisora?!!?!? :gay:

[JED46]

If Chisora gets suspended, and Haye is not allowed to regain his license, for a significant period of time, none of this matters anyway. Both Klitschkos will have to look at other options while the brawlers serve their time.

As for Haye, it bothers me that a young fighter, in his prime, who could easily fight another 4-5 years, is obsessed with one last pay day. Why should we care about some multimillionaire looking for a cash cow? I know boxing is hard, but that's the path he chose. Haye is no longer committed to the sport that we love. I'm not interested in part time fighters. If Haye wants a pay day, he can re-dedicate himself to boxing like everybody else has to. Fight Arreola, Adamek, Mitchell, Povetkin, somebody with a pulse. Why should he be able to fight a Klitschko whenever he wants to, while everybody else is busting their asses? Get in line with everyone else.

I'm not dis*****g that Boente said that, assuming that the report is factually correct, which is something not guaranteed. Let us accept it as said. But that doesn't mean that the whole negotiation for the fight was cancelled just because of that. Nowhere have I seen this printed, although it can safely be assumed that Boente would not be doing the haggling-beg pardon, negotiating, anyway.

Haye/Booth obviously were "negotiating" in their time-tested usual hard-ball manner, demanding the moon, as if from a position at the top, and intending to fight tooth and nail for every tiny scrap of cash they can. Their negotiations against (I won't say "with") a better placed opponent, would be long and drawn out, could take a year. Klitschko, although he wants him badly, won't waste time on this.

Come to your senses, whilst you still have any.

Mayweather didn't "let" Hatton have....... He had to. Hatton was by any standard the most popular and loved British boxer in history. What other fighter in the world, I repeat, in the world, EVER, would get 15-20 thousands of supporters to pay out millions of Dollars to travel all the way from Britain to Las Vegas just to cheer him on. In fact Hatton was very popular in the US too, and a large proportion of the fans present were his supporters.

Stop grasping at "straws" to try to support your insupportable speculation. Give it up.
