His reputation is apparently too busted up from the Harrison fight for him to even contemplate it fighting so soon again in the UK. lol What I'm getting from his fans on this is that Haye doesn't want to risk making a fight with Chagaev in March to free him up to fight Wlad on July 2 because it won't generate as much money as he would want. He'd rather risk making the fight with Chagaev as a PPV on July 2, instead of fighting Wlad.
Sky TV have said they would not be willing to do a PPV event in March or April, as they have Khans PPV at that time, this really isn't K2 or Vlads fault, dont worry i think Chagaev will cause Haye lots of problems when they fight in the mandatory, Haye will no longer matter.
You're obviously not basing this on Chagaevs last fight are you? If that Chagaev shows up he's in big trouble.
We will see what chagajev turns up. If he gets anything above 70% Hayes busicuit jaw is due to get cracked. I think the fight won't happen though. Too dangerous. Booth will wiggle himself out because of hep c.
Chagaev too dangerous based on his last fight? Pass. Anyways I wouldn't want to fight someone with Hep C either, **** that. Even if Haye doesn't fight Chagaev they move down the rankings to the next availible opponent. Current rankings. 1. RUSLAN CHAGAEV (OC) UZB 2. NICOLAY VALUEV RUS 3. DENNIS BOYTSOV (WBA I/C) RUS 4. ALEXANDER POVETKIN RUS 5. ALEXANDER USTINOV (EBA) RUS 6. HASIM RAHMAN USA 7. TIMUR IBRAGIMOV (NABA) UZB 8. ALEXANDER DIMITRENKO UKR 9. KALI MEEHAN AUS 10. TOMASZ ADAMEK POL 11. DENNIS BAKHTOV (PABA) RUS 12. JEAN MARC MORMECK FRA 13. JUAN CARLOS GOMEZ CUB 14. ROBERT HELENIUS FIN 15. CHRIS ARREOLA USA With Valuev out of commision that means either Boystov or Povetkin will be installed as mandatory. Chagaev is no more of a threat than those guys.
WTF? Sky never said NOTHING about not having a PPV in March. The ONLY month that was thrown out was April. Why the hell would March be too close to April, but May would be ok? There is absolutely NOTHING stopping Haye from fighting Chagaev in March. Apart from the fact that would mean Haye would actually have to train and fight... rather than sitting on his ass talking.
Hep B. Klychko had no problem taking an inoculation and fighting Ruslan on 2 weeks notice. Boytsov is out again with hand surgery. So Povetkin would appear to be the next guy. That would generate decent interest and make for a good fight (if neither guy bitches out)
Hep b/c who cares. Bottom line is valuev wiggled out of the fight and so will Gaye. After all the are both manages by same scum, saurdeland. Atlas ain't going to let povetkin fight Haye. No way.
