Comments Thread For: Fury: I Deserve More Money Than 'Has-Been' David Haye

[hugh grant]

Fury doesn't cheat the fans with flash knockdowns. When he gets touched by light hitters it's a "timber!" job - flat on his back. Okay, he gets up, or has so far, and he's a gutsy entertaining fighter whose fights everybody wants to watch (if they're being honest) but he's no different to Price in the chin department.

There a time when Hayes chins was suspect, but haye put a bit of weight on and now his chin is iron almost, just like Pac.

Me too. And that a greedy whore like Haye would cede to such a split. But then I remembered Wlad happily gave Haye 50-50% because ultimately, if there's enough money on the table and you're very confident of beating the other guy who doesn't really deserve a 50% split (as Wlad was with Haye - and now Haye is with Fury), it's prudent to take it rather than splitting hairs and jepordising it.

This is why that interview Floyd did with Costas was such a **** joke to me - where he was said he "can't afford" to let Pacquaio take a split of the PPV. Crying for a greater share when there's such a massive pot to share equally just to get the fight done.

lol he didn't give it away happily. Haye brought most money to the table and demanded 50/50. Klitschko had to take it.

Klitschko wanted 50-50 cause of the SKY PPV Haye was bringing in.

Klitschko wanted 60/40 or something. But Haye didn't want that. Haye also proposed that Klitschko kept what he brought to the table, and Haye would then keep what he brought to the table (Sky PPV), but Klitschko didn't want that either.

So 50/50 was made.

That was a ridiculous notion because Haye would not have been on Sky PPV again had he not been fighting Wladimir Klitschko. Sky pressured him into taking that fight after the backlash from the Audley debacle.

Lol that's a ****** statement considering he'd been on Sky PPV his last 3 fights. Harrison was a successful show (PPV buys wise) and generated loads, but we've already been through this before.

The Wlad fight was also a success but they stopped PPV after it. The backlash after the Harrison fight was so intense that Sky put pressure on Haye to stop ducking the Wladimir fight. I even remember the usually sycophantic Adam Smith grilling him on Ringside.

The public weren't going to accept another bum opponent. Haye's excuses had run thin. Haye wouldn't have been on PPV let alone sold the numbers without Wlad as the opponent so the idea that Haye deserved all the revenue is ridiculous and a Hayemaker propaganda special.

His recklessness is what gets him dropped you moron!
Bad footing placement getting himself caught on the chin off balanced then dropped...
If he had a chin like Price that shot from Cunningham would of took him out!
Cunningham would take Price out infact!

I don't think either Ruiz or Valuev were bums, but you may think so. And they didn't stop PPV, there just weren't any other fights to make after Wlad-Haye. What you are talking about is pure speculation, you have no way of knowing whether or not the casual fan would have bought a fight vs. Chagaev, Povetkin or one of those guys.

lol pure speculation. Cunningham was never a KO artist at CW, whereas TT has proven himself as a big puncher vs heavyweights.

Price would have finished USS.
