How come Arreola wasn't complaining about the contract with Vitali?

    Those contracts are probably shredded by now.

    IMO, Haye will win by decision and he has definitely the skills to do so.

    I know it has been very disappointing that Haye has been all talk so far but believe me Valuev is much worse for boxing than Haye. Valuev is a paper champ who already got many gift decisions. I hope that Haye wins and adds some excitement, Haye deserves criticism and his fans can be very annoying but the uncharamatic Valuev is terrible for the division.

    You can not. It is possible that the Klits viewed Haye as a greater risk and wanted more assurances as a consequence. Maybe, mabye not, anything is possible.

    Arreola is a nobody in comparison. He is not that great. Arreola doesn't help sell a 55,000 stadium. He won't cause hype. He isn't a lineal champ.

    Average contenders won't moan with almost anything.

    Arreola is a regional fighter. There is a serious following of Mexican-American fight fans in California so he can fight there for his whole career and probably do quite well financially. There's a reason why the fight would be in LA and not Vegas. There is money to be made with Arreola there.

    That is true. Arreola is well known in LA, the fight will sell. From a business standpoint, the fight makes sense and that is why HBO wants the fight because they can make short term money. But Arreola is too green, Vitali will KO him IMO. A fight like that could really destroy Arreola's career.

    It's hard not to picture Vitali softening Arreola up and then stopping him. The guy's got all the makings of a plodder headed for a beating.

    Arreola probably ate it before he readed the contract.

    It is a shame that HBO rushes a young fighter who is clearly in the build up to a title shot against someone like Vitali. It is all about business these days, sadly.

    Could you Brits stop thinking, that Haye sells the stadiums in Germany. Thats complete nonsense. The Klitschkos sell the stadium and no one else. Its completely irrelevant who the opponent of the Klits is as long as the opponent is somehow known to the public. Let Arreola wear this T-shirt and give him a little platform in german live-TV to make some ballyhoo like Haye did and Klitshko-Arreola is a sell out in a 60.000+seater as well.

    Nobody outside the UK knows Haye, his cruiserweight merits mean nothing to the casual boxing fan outside the UK. Haye is the guy with the martial T-shirt and not the undisputed cruiserweight-hamp.

    I suppose that's why the Klits have every fight in football stadiums isn't it.
    And whats with the German celebrities in ringside seats looking like they have NO clue what there looking at.

    Amir Khans promoter Frank Warren also claims Khan Kotelnik drew over 100,000 PPV buys, not 30,000 that Boente claims.
    Interesting.
