    I love the way Haye says "I'm done with the Klits" because Wladimir is fighting Chisora in April.

    So what's stopping him from fighting Vitali? They're not BOTH going to fight Chisora on the same night :patsch

    I've been asking this for a while now and nobody seems to want to answer.

    If its a unification fight it takes preference over a mandatory.

    You're assuming their both equal.

    Wlad holds more of the belts and its most likely he'll only get a shot at one of them.

    What does Haye care about belts, he says he's retiring soon and wants to unify. To unify he has to beat both. Vitali will do the same numbers as Wlad. The casual fan doesn't know the difference so what's the problem. A Klit is a Klit.

    It seems his plan is to get one more payday out of it and then fight Wlad for a retirement career high pay day. If he wins, he'll get one more payday out of it by fight Vitali but I don't think he believes he can get past Wlad, hence the reason he's opting for one more easy pay day before a Klit. I predicted this ages ago, even made an avatar bet with Will about it. I predicted Harrison > Chagaev > Wlad then Vitali (if he beats Wlad)

    Gonna ignore my point again are ya? UNIFI-****ING-CATION means that mandatories can be put on the back burner.

    Why keep up the act you are actually giving Haye a fair shout...
    You should have just titled this thread "I hate David Haye regardless of the circumstances".
    Nobody knows the reasoning behind negotiations breaking down and can only make assumptions as both sides have various stories coming out of negotiations.
    Wherever the fault lies the only loser is the sport and its one of the only areas where UFC has boxing beat, the best fighters in the weight division will eventually meet eachother or they are stripped of their title.

    Nothing is set in stone and wasnt Vitali shouting his mouth off less than a week ago for Haye to take his pick which brother he wants?

    It's not exactly a secret is it? Look at any Haye or Booth interview from the last year, and it is clear they want absolutely no part of Vitali.

    The interview on Ringside summed it up when Booth tried the excuse of Vitali's mandatory, Boente said it didn't matter and they could start negotiations with Vitali right away and Booth said something like "David wants to fight Wladimir first" and made up some reason why, when what he really meant was "David doesn't want to fight Vitali."

    It's a shame, and I genuinely thought we might get the Wlad fight this time. Wlad is to blame this time, Haye has been to blame in the past. Just like Mayweather v Pacquiao, neither party wants it enough for it to happen. **** boxing, it's **** when all this happens (or doesn't happen). I can't think of any more frustrating sport where the best won't take on the best.
