    He gets 5 million pounds for Haye, win or lose. There is no way an american network is going to pay out 8 million dollars, just to fury, nevermind what the opponent gets when they can buy fights like Khan Vs Ortiz for 1.5/2 million

    That is putting aside the fact fury would have to win all 3 to get the same amount of money, which is obviously unlikely

    Haye fury will get re-arranged too much cash for it not to, probs be end of this year early next.

    Fury may have a low key warm up bout in mean time.

    yeah but lets be honest fighting arroela and thompson or wilder is less risk then fighting haye, and gets him closer to wlad without losing his '0'.

    Will make more money in the logn run, once haye knocks him out hes finished imo

    Would love to see a rematch with Chisora. But i think with the Haye fight still to come, a less lively opponent will be used.

    Do you think Fury will fight on the Degale card?

    Fury fighting haye was never about a route to the title i dont think, it was about the money. Of course Fury believes her will beat Wlad but if he doesnt then would he get the chance to fight Haye, as opposed to fighting him 'now'? I dont think so, therefore he misses out on the cash Haye brings plus Fury can still fight the options and get into a mandatory position, there really is no rush for Fury.

    The postponement of this fight will hurt Haye more (no pun intended) than Tyson.

    Would love to see Wilder, but I think Pulev would be the best way forward.

    I know what your saying, but there were huge amounts of cash at stake for Floyd v Pacman and that never happened

    The Haye-Fury fight will probably be re-scheduled for January, with Fury taking a keep busy fight within the next 6 weeks or so. Someone half-decent and semi-durable but nothing too risky.

    This talk of Haye v Vitali is interesting for the simple fact that it's a joke of a 'world title' fight.
    They ought to bill that one for "The WBC inactive heavyweight championship" .... it will be scheduled, cancelled, re-scheduled, cancelled, re-scheduled, cancelled and re-scheduled for 2016 !

    Adamek would be my pick. Likely to be someone like a Jovo Pudar however.

    I'd love to see him put an end to the Windmiller hype train.

    Windmiller will never take the fight though.

    There is no way they are going to risk Fury on an interim fight and put 5 million at risk
