    If there is any truth to Wlad demanding that Haye fight ViTKLiT if he should beat WLAD, he is a joke. WLAD should start keeping all of the belts at ViTKLiT's house effective immediately if this is true.

    Boxing doesn't need a middle-man champion like WLAD "fight my brother" KLITschko.

    Anyone who defends this, crap...stop embarrassing yourself, really this is the most pathetic negotiating point I've ever heard of. Bar none.

    If KLIT-ites want to sound off, at least say something respectable like, "it can't be true," or "Wlad is better than that."

    ...but to defend such a would be documented, and notarized act of cowardice is shameful to the sport.

    I don't agree with putting options in a contract, ever. K2 are acting like Don King.

    It's his belt and he is the champion, Haye should recognise who is calling the shots.

    you can't rematch someone that you never fought in Vitali. A rematch is a second fight with a PREVIOUS opponent. For sure you understand this? It looks like they are asking for OPTIONS on Haye if he were to win. Nobody has complained about Don King doing this for the last 35 years. Why now?

    People on this very website were mocking the Klitschko's becuase back in 2004 when King had 3 of the 4 Heavyweight belts he wanteed options they said that the Klitschko's should fight anyway. The double standards here are pathetic.

    I seem to remember many Klitchko fans complaining about Don King options. :think

    Actually claiming that it would be impossible to make a unification fight because of those options.

    I am not talking about the Klitschko fans. I am talking about everyone else.

    Do you understand that?

    It's a shameless act!!! Just shows he has no trust/respect in his capablities of defeating Haye...

    If he is sure to win being the bigger guy then there's no need for such a clause...Pathethic!!!

    he is just making sure that haye would not duck from competition...but that stipulation should not be revealed to the public at the early stage of the negotiation

    Well if it wasn’t fair then to ask options, it shouldn’t be now.
    It was bull**** then and it is bull**** now.

    Suge....

    Haye wanted a fight with both brothers. They were kicking different offers around, back and forth. Some of those offers involved fighting both brothers. One of the offers (according to Haye's manager) involved if Haye beat Wlad, he would have a rematch with Wlad. If he were to win again... he would have a showdown vs Vitali. What is wrong with that? Haye's manager didn't even have a problem with it! Obviously it would have been Haye's next step anyways. Three HUGE paydays, three huge fights... and at the end he will have won the WBC, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles as well as the Ring Magazine Championship Title. Even if Haye lost the IBF title due to the IBF forcing a mandatory on him... which we don't know they would... Haye would NOT have taken a mandatory fight with Povetkin over a fight with either Klitschko anyways. You know this Suge.

    Why on earth would Haye have had issues with that? Guess what... HE DIDN'T! It was Haye who said he wanted to fight both brothers. You guys try to take EVERYTHING and twist it around into something crazy and outlandish. This is a business, Haye wanted to fight both brothers, and it would make the most sense for everyone. If Haye beat Wlad twice he would clearly want the Vitali fight next. Haye himself said that he was negotiating possible back to back fights with each brother.

    Guess what... none of this would matter anyways because Haye would NOT beat Wlad. However... of course the unexepected has to be covered in legal contracts. Wlad didn't sure up a rematch clause against Corrie Sanders, and he couldn't drag Corrie back into the ring with him afterwards.
