Why doesn't Haye pay Chagaev a step-aside fee? Haye is totally lying when he says "If I dont't fight him then I'll get stripped!!!" what a load of bull****. Haye paid Ruiz a step-aside fee so he could fight Valuev. This would be a completely normal procedure in this situation.
Actually I've felt this way before about it Wlad and Haye on the phone once a fortnight stirring **** up to keep people interested until they can both max their earnings. They've even got CHEF hook line and sinker.
I love how the WBA dictates what Haye will do, and he follows like a dog on a leash. He wouldn't give up that useless paper title for anything in the world.
I hope your right but after listening to Haye and Booth doing the interview circuit yesterday I doubt it very much. Haye sounded angry and Booth had a resigned tone to his interviews.
I still believe Haye will fight one of them, always thought he'd save them for his last 2 fights, now it looks like I'll have to make do with just one.
Because he's already don't that. There's only a certain amount of time a fighter can push back a mandatory defence.
Haye should sign, only when Chisora is disposed of. There are no guarantees in this sport, and upsets do happen. To a certain extent, i understand Haye's reluctance to sign a fight with Wlad, there's no point in fighting Wlad if by some miracle he hasn't got his titles...
It's an excellent post. The only 'problem' with it is that it takes the 'thrill' away from the game we're all involved in. But then the majority here will never listen to the voice of common sense, so the show is guaranteed to go on regardless. :rasta
Stop making stuff up out of thin air please, Jack -- just to suit your agenda. Haye paid Ruiz step-aside money so Haye could get a shot at Valuev in November 2009 and then fought Ruiz *SIX MONTHS LATER* in April 2010 deal:deal Answer these questions: Was Chagaev offered step aside money to delay the mandatory by six months? Why have Haye and Booth not addressed this very obvious solution? :think
Haye did not pay ruiz step aside money as he was not the champion to do so, ruiz went to court to try get valuev vs haye to stop from happening.
