    If Haye is getting cold feet, he will have shown himself to be a fraud. The way he talked to Wladimir on that excalator you would think Haye would have signed the contract in one second. If he is so confident in himself he would promptly win the title from Wladimir and then cash in.

    If he is getting cold feet it proves 100% crystal clear that Haye's attempt to intimidate Wladimir with the bold facade completely failed and now that Wladimir is coming after him he is the one backing down.

    Haye has to sign the contract. Let's see what happens. If he is the one holding this up he should just go back to cruiserweight. and hold a press conference to apologize to the Kltischkos for all the **** he talked.

    Why would Haye need too? he can sell out 20,000 stdiums against the Arreola`s of this world!

    Britisher broadcaster also pay him 1.1mill per fight wether it be a bum or a Wlad.

    Utter rubbish, must be a ESB regualr?

    Knocking Wlad out won't be easy, Haye should get paid well, after all, he is the one generating the interest.

    ricky hatton made more than that in one fight against pbf
     
  6. I really hope Wlad takes this fight because if he doesn't i would lose whatever litte respect i have for him.

    My feeling is that the Klit sisters are going to mess him about until he takes another fight, and hope he will get KO'd and then they can say that they never needed to fight him because he was all Hype.

    If it ends up being

    Vitali v Gomez

    Wlad v Arreola

    and they both duck Haye

    They deserve all the stick they get

    Thompson isn't well known, and 13 millions for such a matchup is a big amount of money......

    Its not much when you consider top heavies in the 90's were making $25-30 million per fight eg.Tyson/Holy I and II.That was over 10 years ago.
    I'd describe it as easy money for Wlad

    thtas not how boxing works and you know it stop chatting ****
     

  11. Exactly NO ONE watches the KLIT sisters outside of Germany/Ukraine.

    Fighting Haye would bring intrest back into the HW, You would have two good athletic boxers fighting each other, rather than Wlad against some overweight bouncer come boxer.
     

  12. No I think Wlad deserves more... BUT it doesn't mean Haye should fight for peanuts

    We can't say if Haye is intentionally avoiding the fight by pricing himself out, cause we don't know how much/what percentage he's being offered by the Klitschko group.

    Haye has to take his shot now. The offer is there. Shut up and take it. Haye is lucky he has the shot he practically begged for on the escalator. Take it and shut up. Wladimir does not need to give Haye the shot, he can fight Arreola in the US or he can fight WBO#1 Dimitrenko. Haye has his world title shot. A world title shot is worth in excess of $30 million if he can win. If Haye doesn't accept this opportunity - after all the **** he talked - he will have exposed himself as a fraud.

    Wladimir Klitschko is the one calling the shots now, David Haye is the one taking orders.
