I'm surprised at the grief he gets on here, how come our most successful get **** - Hatton, Calzaghe, Hamed, Khan, Haye etc... While guys like Jamie Moore, Jon Thaxton etc get spunked over!? Tell me!
The lower guys don't tend to have to make the unpopular decisions about PPVs, whether to take a soft payday defence etc. A few years back people were bigging up Haye as not being a sell out like Hatton and Calzaghe were, but that was only because Haye hadn't had the chance to yet. The **** really hit the fan when they realized he was no different to most boxers in his position.
So basically, fans hate boxers for making it and having financial making decisions! All are like that really. Look at Burns, I called him the 'Martin Adams of Boxing!'
Cos that means listening and giving him attention. There is a certain compulsion as a boxing fan but HAye is the sort of guy who doesn't care if you love him or hate him, as long he gets paid!
