Sam Peter did come to fight. He was just hopelessly outclassed as most Klitscko opponents are. How is there fault that Haye wont fight them? And lets be honest, Haye gets sparked.
I bet everybody gonna say that Haye was nothing more but a hypejob if Wlad beats him. For sure i would think so...
Every professional fighter in this sport is here for the money. Fighting just for the glory is frankly a rose tinted ideal that rarely occurs. If you're fighting a dangerous opponent then even more reason to want a decent contract. A few potential opponents have complained now that the Klits have only offered them poor contracts. Two of them being the other belt holders, Valuev and Haye. The Klitschkos need to make a few concessions if they want to improve their legacy.
Consessions to whom exactly? Haye? He was offered 50% and declined. Valuev? He was offered the biggest payday of his career, even after losing his title. He still ducked. Povetkin? He is not "ready". Please feel free to point out who else is out there....
Fact is the Klits negotiate themselves out of big fights. They've done it multiple times and it's getting boring. I blame their management more than them. I don't believe there's a guy out there they wouldn't fight, but they seem to think they can treat every fighter on the planet like they're bum club fighters. They're already very rich. It's time to make some slight sacrifices to give the fans what they want. Even the biggest Klit lovers out there didn't want Peter and Briggs.
The Klitsckos are the king of the heavyweight division and they are bringing the revenue and fans. What concessions should they make? What has Haye done that makes him qualified to earn more then 40%?
What I would like to know is why aren't any other top heavyweights fighting each other? Why do they all feel like they deserve a title shot, but not try to fight another meaningful fighter? David Haye is fighting Audley Harrison, why? Because no one else wanted to fight him? The Klitschko's dust all these fighters, none who've really earned a spot because they've all done BS in the division. Povetkin has 2 meaningful fights on his record against a washed up Chris Byrd, and Eddie Chambers (which wasn't an easy victory). I can understand he isn't ready for Wlad, but since then he's fought rubbish. The whole division is weak, more than the fact they all get dominated when they fight either brother, but because they won't try to even make the division interesting by fighting each other. It's all a load of promotional BS.

You mean Wlad should be the first champ in history earning less money than the contender? Please. Won't happen. Wlad doesn't have to make a SINGLE concession to improve his legacy. Sooner of later good and hungry opponents will line up.
