It's looking unlikely Rhodes will be on the Haye undercard...

    Personally, I feel Hayemaker are in the wrong if they didn't even try and discuss the finer details, although this is only one side of the story....

    Still, if they can't come up with something, then Rhodes will sadly not be boxing on the undercard.

    Spice Boy Rhodes claimed years ago that he would be


    "A world Champion at 3 different weights.................and thats no lie !!!! "

    So according to Rhodes youthful egotistcal boasts - he should be a

    Undisputed Light Middleweght Champion

    Undisputed Middleweight Champion

    And the Current Undisputed Super Middleweight World Champion

    :nut:nut:nut:nut:nut

    What a **** talking camp the Brendan Ingle Camp were :rofl

    Well I'm with Frank Warren on this one.

    Ok - dont get me wrong - I'm not going soft - I know Warren is a childish **** at the best of times.

    But Warren does deliever for his fighters - and makes his fighters have good career / paydays

    The fighter in question - David Haye - was paid a very generous Kings Ransom by Mr Frank Warren to fight his man Enzo Maccarenelli

    Warren delievered Haye his biggest Payday - and his biggest Show he ever fought on

    Warren delievered the event that made Haye a star in this country.

    Warren delievers as a promoter.

    Haye and Booth are proving to be stingy ****ers - and are not real prepared to deliever for other fighters.

    "Phoney" Booth can not deliever what Warren can.

    yeah but this is basic

    Hotel and Food - standard things to cover

    Monte Barret complained he was not given enough "food" money to live off by the Hayemaker promotions when he fought him

    Well one of them has been promoting for 3 decades, the other hasn't even solely promoted 10 shows yet ;)

    Warren has much more in terms of resources than Hayemaker.

    Yeah but we are talking about standard things here

    Food
    Hotel
    Few tickets for the show for family / friends

    this is a very reasonable thing to expect from a European Champion who will probaly end up as the chief support on the whole show

    If Haye and Booth cannot spare a few quid to let Ryan have dinner and sleep in a hotel - they have no business calling themselves promoters.

    Haye got what he deserved agaisnt Enzo. He won the legit world title in france and was known to be struggling at the weight. also the fight was in london so he was the bigger name.

    the fight did not make haye huge in this country and it wasnt his biggest payday. valuev was for both.

    Booth delivered Haye a heavyweight world title fight. has warren ever done that???

    Like I said, we haven't heard the other side of the story.

    it was his biggest payday up until that point in his career by about 6 times more than he got for knocking out Mormeck.

    Haye got paid very genrously for Enzo fight.

    And he was not that big a name - he had been fighting at Liesure Centres in front of a few family and friends.

    Enzo had been the one fighting at massive Calzaghe undercards at the Millienium , etc

    You could say Enzo was the bigger name - even if Haye was the better fighter

    what the **** has that got to do with anything ? :huh

    if he cant make weight - then dont fight

    just cos you struggle to make weight dosent mean you deserve to be paid more

    anyone could make up that excuse - Haye exaggerated his weight struggles anyway
