Comments Thread For: Booth Says Fury is Making a Mistake By Facing Haye

[Earl-Hickey]

Win win situation for both guys its possibly the second best pay-day possible in the HW division only Povetkin Vs Wladimir will top it.
I really doubt Vitali will fight either Haye or Fury, It's likely If Haye or Fury is to fight a Klitschko it will only be Wladimir and that will have to wait till late 2014 due to the Tony Thompson Vs Kubrat Pulev being a eliminator fight to face Wladimir.

Although it could be possible for the world title of Vitali being stripped off him, he's reaching a year of inactivity so its likely...
I'm doubting (hoping) that neither Haye or Fury want that easy route.
If anything I think Hughie Fury will target that belt If it becomes vacated to challenge Mike Tyson's youngest HW record.

He's an enigma Hughey, I really think he could challenge Mike's record if a weaker guy gets the WBC title.

Hell, I would put money on Fury beating half of the top 15 at this stage, let alone in a years time.

Both Haye and Fury will make more than Povetkin, only Wlad will make more. At the same time, Haye-Fury will most likely generate most money at the same time, being on PPV and having the British market behind it.



IF Fury beats Haye, he would no doubt be a shoe-in for a crack at the title, and rightly so.

Not heard the exact numbers from the Haye Vs Fury to see how much both guys are getting just rumours at the moment but you're probably right, I was more taking into account that the Russians actually got Wladimir over to their home land so I could only imagine he is being paid a huge amount.
20plus million euros something along that line.

Could you imagine if both his fighters lose...
Definitely could happen, although I think Groves may cause Froch some problems.

It'd be great news. I swear he's the most hyped trainer in the UK.

His 'plan' for the Wladimir fight was pathetic. He was well and truly exposed.

Wilder will be 'given' the belt.

So, yeah, Hughie would stand an excellent chance.

I think both Haye and Fury are estimated to get something around £5m each. It's expected to do as well or better as Harrison-Haye which was the first £10m fight on British soil. I think Povetkin and Wlad are both getting fixed pursed of $6m and $17m respectively. So Wlad is getting near the amount, if not a little more, than he got for the Haye fight.

He must be pleased with that.

Isn't Povetkin's split (of the purse) c. €5m?

Why is he hyped? Based on a single fight? Come on.

Wlad is getting approx 75% of $23m purse which equates to $17m more or less. That leaves $6m for Povetkin or just about 5,5m euro.

His reputation appears to stem from Haye's brief stint at CW and the razor thin victory Groves had over DeGale.

There were some idiots on here, before the Wlad fight, claiming he was a better trainer than Manny Steward.

OK - I could only laugh at the last part. No one in their right mind would say that. But I don't even think there's much hype about him. I think he's a good trainer, after all, he's only really had two fighters and one was champion in two weightclasses after 25 fights, the other has just secured a shot at two titles after 18 or 19 fights.

But whether he's a great trainer or not, will never be proven before he takes on a bigger stable and has multiple world champions.

But he will never eclipse Steward. Imo, the greatest trainer of all times.
