    Pulev will still get the biggest payday of his career, though. And as others point out in this thread, if he's as confident of beating Wladimir as he pretends he is, why not take the fight? It's a win/win.

      And people say belts don't mean anything.

      Wlad's manager's job is to get him the most money possible per fight. Leave nothing at the table. It's business, guys.

      Haye held the WBA title at the time -- so that's worth more than a mandatory.

          Well, interestingly though, Haye brought more money to the table than Klitschko + a belt.

          50/50 was more than fair.

            Haye didnt get 50/50 but obviously he got a much better cut because he had a world title

                Wlad vs. Pulev is a much better fight than Wlad vs. Stiverne. Stiverne would be a bigger victim to Wlad than Pulev. Pulev brings much more to the table.
                Stiverne would just stand there doing nothing. His footwork sucks and is not agressive so he wont get anywhere near Klitschko. Pulev is a much better all around boxer and he is bigger than Stiverne.
                I hope Wilder beats Stiverne and then Wlad vs. Wilder would be a verry interesting fight.

                  Excellent question.

                    Yes it's a bit cnutish alright and it's downright pathetic that the IBF accepted this request. If it goes to a purse bid K2 will have to put up at least £6m to justify this split.

                      I am of the same opinion here.the German TV revenue alone is worth 3 million,is their ppv in Bulgaria ?

                      I thought the whole idea of a purse bid was to encourage an agreement without one,now they're hinting Pulev will earn less if he doesn't agree to their initial terms ! This stinks.the dude has been mandatory for a long time,he's been great pretty shoddily all along by K2.i hope it goes to purses and Ryanbinksy wins the bid,they can have Chisora actually inspect the wraps this time.that was a ****ty trick to suggest last time,but if you're gonna be a c.u.n.t you deserve it.
