So what excuse will Haye fans come up with now? That the fight isn't 'signed' yet? That Wlad's recent 50/50 offer is too late? Where is this 'excitement' Haye was going to bring HW boxing? This Shock & Awe that was going to be like Ali or Tyson huh? Really, if you are or you were a Haye fan you've got to just man up and admit it that Haye did you up like a kipper good and proper. He's span you a line, you swallowed it and he made his millions and is now laughing at you. I just can't see any other way to see it. Fraudley in October? Forgetting the hypocrisy of the opponent that's just two fights per year - heck Vitali can manage 3 per year and that guy is almost 40!!! I'd love it if Fraudley managed to spark Haye. At least he'd do or die and fight a Klitschko.
Even as someone who is not a huge fan of David Haye's, I could foregive him not fighting a Klitschko if he were active. But 1 or 2 fights every year for a 29 year-old beltholder...that's just inexcusable. Vitali is 38 and he fought 4 times in just over a year. Perhaps this is because Haye is simple not meant for the heavyweight division. When you consider the fact that he has had three injuries in four fights, that may just be the case. Injuryies: back training for wlad, broken hand against Valuev, hurt in preparation for Ruiz and couldn't spar for a month. It certainly seems as if he is just not made to be a long term champ. I expect maybe 2-3 defenses before retirement.
You can't really blame Fraudley for wanting to make some money before he finishes off. But as a far as Haye is concerned, fighting Audley would do good for ppv in Britain, and would givew him another excue to milk his title - which i can understand from Haye's point of view, but I don't condone it personally.
If Haye does blatantly avoid the Klitscko's then he can **** off. But I would still be surprised if he did altogether. I suspect that Haye might think he can make some good, easy bucks fighting Fraudley in the UK, and then go for broke with a Klitschko. Understandable, not entirely a ***** move, but still very dissapointing for real fans, after so much talk. I'll be pissed if he does.
When was this 50/50 offer? I can't imagine that Wlad would give that much away. I haven't been on here too much lately but if you could send a source I'd appericate it.
Audley is talking more s**t now on sky sports news. He is a joke of a heavyweight If David Haye takes this fight he is a joke too. If the rumours are true, a 50/50 fight with no contractual obligations, (hopefully in the O2) he must take it or he is a chicken, end of story I personally think haye wont bottle it and that he will fight. I hope Im right Audley - Ive had to listen to this prat since the Olympics, someone please knock out this bum (Not a Klitchko or Haye - they must fight each other)
Joke fight. Fraudleys more keen to be a Klit opponent by the sounds of it. He is the truth after all. Who can deny the man his destiny.
you are having a laugh nobody in britain is interested in haye vs fraudley wont do good ppv numbers what so ever didn't haye say years ago they wuld never fight each other because they were mates ?
No one in england care's about this fight seriously , haye is a fraud end of ! what happened to cleaning up the division of all the old fat fighters & wanting the klitchko brothers ? fraudley couldnt draw flys to **** thats why he's always been stuck on friday night fights and tbh david haye only had a good ppv turnout agaisnt valuev because of the oddity involved
Seeing as Vitali just fought Albert Sosnowski, i don't think Haye should be singled out for fighting the European Champion, or former champion, as much as i don't want it to happen.
