Robs firmly back on Team Haye. I think all the hate over the summer was just an excuse by Rob to win the "Hater of the Year" at David Hayes expense!!! We've been conned lads, I demand a re-vote!!!:|
i just wanna see the fight get made. at that point Hayes team were stopping it. I would like to think i had a part to do with the fight being made...however small that is.
David Haye himself wants the fight, has always wanted the fight and would have taken a far worse deal than he is getting at the moment to make the fight with either brother. A combination of Booth/Goldenboy/Sauerland/Sky pushed him into the Harrison fight which he really did not want to take. Had the Harrison fight not been such a disaster his team would have also taken an interim fight with Chagaev to get rid of the Sauerland options before taking on a Klitscko. Due to the Harrison fight getting such a bad reaction from the press and public, the team realised they had to fight a Klitscko. In both the case of this fight, and the Groves vs DeGale fight both of Adam Booths men have eneded up getting a better deal than they have ever previously been offered and you cannot complain about it. I complained about them rejecting good offers at the time, and stand by that.
Rob, I don't think the Harrison fight got a bad press really, except in the boxing press. And it made a shedload of cash. On that basis Haye could have kept on ticking over. But the money on offer here is incredible plus Wlad and Vitali are prepared to negotiate - it's just good timing for everyone right now.
It go about as bad press as a sporting event can get in my opinion thats not football. can you think of a boxing match that was talking about so negatively afterwards? it did make allot of money but it also did allot of damage.
What's this comment based on? I don't know a single person who still talks about it. In fact, most of the casuals I spoke to thought it was pretty entertaining.
I still hear it mentioned from time to time. When Haye get in the spotlight again it will be brought up.
