Is it enough to make the champion drop the belt just to fight him? Should all mandatories just step aside because Haye has a bigger mouth? I wouldn't step aside, no way. **** Haye. The only reason this fight may be coming off is because Povetkin was injured & he wants a tune up before he gets his shot. Povetkin earned his shot by winning an IBF HW tournament............... That leaves Wladimir with the option of fighting a voluntary. I hope this helps..................:thumbsup
EXACTLY!! Haye knows he gon get his ass beat down in this fight and needs to take advantage of this payday!!!
I hate all this negotiating bollox, just wish the fight would get signed and sorted. IMO Haye is just trying to use the interest surrounding this fight to get as much of the share as he can. As anyone with half a buisness brain would do. He will take the fight 100% eventually even if the Klitshko's refuse to budge on the split.
Mickey Blue; if Haye doesn't take the fight - as he is firmly threatening - I guess we'll all know all this time he was full of **** and really doesn't fancy his chances against Dr. Steelhammer,
As i said, he will take it, he's just holding out for as long as poss to get the best deal he can. Nowt wrong with that. We had the same crap with the Pac/Hatton fight and that got signed eventually.
He will take it. At some point K2 promotions will say thats our best offer and he will have No choice but to sign or be exposed. Him not signing will show that this was really all about money and not about fighting the best
It seems like this is the new way of promoting the fight. The money issue has come up big time in the last 3 big fright. DHL/Pac... Pac/Hatton, and now Wlad/Haye
Haye will eventually take it because it is still way more than he would get fighting anyone else:deal
Of course it's about money, it's the guys living what do you expect..... Wlad should be glad Haye has come along as without him the HW division would be all but dead...but at least Haye brings a little bit of excitment. Just look at Vitali's match up with Gomez or Wlads match with Rahman.. Outside of Germany/Ukraine no one cares !!!! And it was for the HW championship of the World. But a Wlad v Haye would bring a big showcase for both fighters, worldwide
I totally agree. just not good fights for the US fan. Klitschko fights are broadcast in 100 countries. Both Wlad and Haye have been pumping this thing for months... they are both very very smart. Bottom line...this will be great for boxing:good
