    Could anyone shed some light (Not Pizza-face Pictures or other random crap... But a genuine response please) on what Haye means by this?

    I've heard of Povetkin talking about 'slave contracts', and when reading an article by Johnny Nelson - http://www1.skysports.com/haye/story/21297/6991054

    He talks about how they treat sparring partners:

    "I spent plenty of time out in Germany as a sparring partner and the one thing they always did was try and dominate you mentally. I do think both Klitschkos have taken that into their fights which is why a lot of these guys we see challenging them fall apart before a punch has even been thrown.

    It is horrible. They put you in a crap bedsit, not even a hotel, they make sure you eat the worst food, they do everything they can to make you miserable - and don't forget you are the one, as a sparring partner, doing them a favour"

    Just wondered if anyone could share any information on it?

    I know they are evil and racist. Did you notice that most of the guys they beat up are blacks? quintessence? I don't think so. They also make crazy demands like having their own doctor in the corner. Also if you lost to them you become indentured servant that picks potatoes at the Ukrainian farm.

    Old news, this has been around for four or five years.

    It is true a host of fighters have ducked shots at the k-brothers due to crap terms and waited until they were mandatory.

    Also Tyson Fury said the same think recently about beating up sparring partners who one day might fight for a title.

    Fighters always look for an edge, they are hardly the first.

    I more unhappy with Wladimir beating up Chageav when Chageav was coming back from serious injuries, promoter problems and lack of activity. Wladimir would have beaten him easy anyway so why pick him at his weakest.

    It is not new look at Sugar Ray leonard waiting until Hagler was on the slide before trying his luck.

    The problem is the heavyweight division not the k-brothers. Fighters walk straight back into top ten ranking after ten years out. Haye takes flack for fighting old fighters. Well even after a conscious effort to bring sub 30 year olds into the top 25 ranking, you still have double the number of fighters over 35 at heavyweight to under 25.

    The average age for top heavyweights used to be about 27. It is more like 34 now and has been over 35. Peak age for a heavyweight has never exceed 30. They should make any fighter over 33 keep their place in the top 50 by having to fighter another fighter over 33 every year to get rid of the crap.

    It is the crap not k-brothers killing heavyweight boxing.

    Excuse me why I finish my rant.

    If the old timers become a poor bet for promoters they will have to invest in young hungry fighters again. The heavyweight division is fat, lazy and getting easy money for poor effort. Perhaps revoking old timers licenses if they lose twice to other old ranked farts. A heavyweight clearout fight nights, old against the youth might do it.

    Bull****. I had Ola Afolabi on Facebook and before the Chambers fight he wouldn't stop posting pictures of the hotel he was staying in on top of the Austrian alps and the food he was indulging in, luxurious to say the least.
