    My pleasure. Real thanks goes to the UK posters who were all over this from the get-go. Just wanted to be able to confirm this for everybody so they know it is absolutely legit and the thread-making can begin in earnest.

    I agree with you, as well -- this is exactly what the HW division needs. Yes! :good:good

    Props to Haye for making the fight.

    Gonna be a mega fight, no question.

    This fight with give the heavyweight division a surge of energy much like Frankenstein getting a life giving bolt of lightning coursing through his body!!!!!!!

    THe divsion was already on the upswing, but now this fight will really help raise the division even further.

    I am amazed so many sites are reporting it, so fast after the fight was made. That shows alot of interest, for them to get on it, so fast.

    I'm guessing he got paid step-aside money. It may be in some of the articles, haven't checked yet.

    Its not in any of the articles. I am curious how they are getting around Gomez, as he will probably stir quite a stink.

    On the radio clip, Haye said the Gomez fight was up for purse bid, and was not a sure thing, yet..............??????????? That don't mean Gomez is to be pushed aside, unless he agrees to step aside, and if the WBC also allows him to be put on the back burner....

    Maybe the WBC has yet to have their say in this.

    Vitali should just give up the belt anyhow..he doesnt need it we all know the deal around here. Allow Gomez to figth someone for the vacant belt and then we'll have a challenger for Wlad

    Haye is a fool. He should have continued to gun for Wlad. He has no shot at beating Vitali.

    Vitali vs Haye makes a lot more money than Vitlai vs Gomez. Just a hunch, Gomez takes " Step aside money ", then gets a chance at the winner.
