great post Martini, hayefaker is most certainly faking this, for them to say he will be ready three weeks later is the smoking gun. how do they know he will be ready three weeks later? unless they know the extent of the supposed 'injury' now is totally bogus of course. once Wladimir stood up to hayefaker, hayefaker never wanted the fight anymore, he tried to not sign the contract, he wanted out. but WLad stayed on him and kept hunting and pushing. haye is a fraud a counterfeit, but like a good counterfeit bill, you have to really really look closely to be able to detect the fraudulence. for it is easy to deceive people who beleive everything they are told.
at this point a lot of it has to do with business and logistics and beyond just making a fight. moving the date of a fight, especially one that sold 60K tickets and convincing all the TV networks to go along with it as well - it's past the point of common sense and entered murky territory of "business and finances" where there are fees to pay, bottom lines to maintain and obligations to meet. i was really looking forward to this fight :fire but it's something i'm accepting and trying to look for a silver lining.
its a bull**** excuse and everyone knows it. "My back is ****ed but it will be better EXACTLY 3 weeks later"
that doesn't mean ****. In fact most of the time bullies are smaller than the person they are picking on. Haven't you ever see an overweight kid get bullied by people half his size?
back off........ because of injury but willing to face off with this 'hero' in 3 weeks time when fit, the 'hero' refuses to wait as he is infact a *****
an injury? A sore back? And he knows EXACTLY when that sore back is going to be fixed? Doesn't that sound suspicious to you 2 weeks before the fight?
well if he was indeed faking his injury the boxing commission would ban him and issue a big fine and it was his therapist who said he should be back to normal in 3 weeks.
you can't prove the existence or non existence of a SORE back injury, for all we know he could fake it again and again and again.
I agree with what you are saying but will Chagaev want to basicaly keep on training in case he might get a shot in a few weeks?" and what then with the promotion would it be Wlad VS TBA? i think it owuld be a good thing to postpone.. but if it really is a serious injury he will not be ready.
