This is not a rant to say who is ducking who , but the below below was reported on Sky sports , and are Wlads actual words. ' He could give Chagaev step - aside money and then I'm going to be there. I would fight him July 2 and we would work on the contract , but I would fight Chisora first' If the above is correct then I would want to know the following. 1. If Haye can give Chagaev step aside money , then why cannot Wlad give Chisora step aside money. 2. Is the Chisora fight that Epic a moment to lose a fight worth a lot more in both Money and Legacy?
Wlad wants Haye on July 2, if he wants Chisora as a warm up fight that is his business in my opinion. Wlad is pretty much saying take it or leave it, and it looks like Haye is going to pass. If Haye truly does want to fight Wlad, I don't see how Chagaev is that big of an issue, just tell the WBA to **** off, that belt is pointless anyways. It won't add any value to a match-up fight against Wlad.
1-Chisora isn't owed step aside 2a-Wlad wants to get ring of ring rust 2b-Wlads legacy is much much stronger than Haye's. Haye needs him more than the other way around
Chisora doesn't need step aside money though? He isn't the mandatory is he? There's two ways of looking at this too, Wlad will train 6-8 weeks for Chisora, a weeks rest, the 8 weeks for Haye. There is a possibility that Wlad could burn himself out training so much. If I was Haye I would go for it.
Wladimir has good reasons to distrust Haye who has deceived him several times now. Wladimir doubts Haye has true intentions to actually fight him thus he is safeguarding for the next duck. If he doesn't safeguard by scheduling the Chisora fight he could be fooled by Haye and lose another 9 months of his prime which is in the late stages as Wlad is to be 35 this year I believe (March).
Haye has no reason to pull out of this fight. Wald wants to fight Chisora two months before Haye, that's no big deal. I don't see how that bothers Haye.
Yeah I know he doesn't, but fighting Chisora still makes sense financially. He gets an extra payday and potentially gets a few more viewers for the Haye fight. Win win.
