Warren: "Haye pulled out due to money"

Are you serious? You expect ANYONE to fight one of the K-bros (or indeed ANYONE) for no money. This is ridiculous.

I'm entirely with Haye getting out of the contract.

 

Why should he fight for nothing? How many challengers fight for the title for nothing? He has a family, training costs, if he loses his future earning power goes right down and he'll probably have to waiting another couple of years for another title shot.

This isn't EA Sports on the XBox, its real life.

 

Exactly. Everything about this post is correct.

 

Warren hates Haye. Hardly an objective source.

 

Also Hayemaker Promotions next show has been completely scrapped, who was due to screen it? Setanta.

 

Haye has more fans than haters on here in my opinion.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl

I want to hear more on this . . . let's hear what Hayes has to say. :yep

 

Absolutely, most fighters would offer themselves up for no money if they had a chance to fight the champ.

 

Can anyone remember the last time a challenger went through with a title fight after learning that they wouldn't be getting paid a penny for it?:huh

 

Examples.........?

 

It's common place nowadays for challengers to earn nothing to fight the champ, many even pay good money just to get the shot. Pascal and Froch both paid in excess a million each for their fight.

 

warren's said what we're all thinking

but - that is a highly libellous comment, especially if he is wrong

yeah yeah warren could have done this and that with haye. but i doubt haye would ever have gone and battered mormeck if, say, he'd been a warren fighter. warren batters us with mismatches. i wonder if his eyes are both the same colour, if his socks & shoes match, if he practices a malcolm mcdowell lopsided sneer in his bathroom mirror.

 

double

 

I doubt there would be a single one of you, if in the same situation, would choose to fight for nothing. It is incredibly easy to be an armchair critic and to say that they would be willing to go for about a year without getting paid anything (it would have been at least a year by the time he got in the ring again). Not to mention that he would have to cover his own training costs (which will be a lot) during that time.

It would be absolutely and utterly foolish to go ahead with what might be your only shot at the heavyweight title for no money. Anyone can get KOed, especially someone with questionable punch resistance against probably the hardest hitting HW at the moment. Haye knows that his potential future earnings could be ruined by one lucky punch. If he wasn't confident in his ability to beat the other HW contenders then I doubt he would have risked his future shot at the HW title by basically consigning himself to some eliminators so that he can fight Wlad.

 

lmfao.

What?
