There are rumors that he did, but I can't find any evidence. Anyone know for certain or is it just a rumor?
I'd say more than 100%. He calls his own shots and runs Hayemaker Promotions with Adam so I will eat my shoes if he ever signs to a scumbag like D*n K**g.
I wonder what options he has to finally accept this one unless the scorecard, as expected, is already set for Valuev to win for throwing jabs in the air.
As we all know the good old fashioned types at the WBA will have their filthy little minds hard at work on how many rounds they will score the fight to the Giant, so the only option for Haye is to move to his right wait for the Ogre to move in and then throw the right hand. If he does this enough then he could be the first person to knock him down/out :bbb
If Haye wins on points I'd be shocked to say the least. However, if he lost an extremely controversial decision (on the same scale as Lewis-Holyfield) it could actually benefit his career. It will cause a huge stir, which would inevitably improve his marketability.
If Haye wins ever round the WBA will score it a draw. If Valuev scores even one round he will take a split decision. If Haye gets cut they will wait to the 5th and get the doctor to call the fight. If Valuev gets a cut before the 3rd they will call a NC. If Valuev get's a cut after the 3rd they will either score it a draw or for the big man. Haye needs a KAYO!
I would also be amazed if Don King doesn't have options now on Haye. He pulled the strings to get haye ranked #4 in the WBA. He has allowed Haye to fight for the title against Valuev. King ALWAYS gets options in these conditions. If he doesn't have options on Haye it will run contrary to everything we know about King. We have seen King do this over, and over and over again. We have precedent. As to Haye? Well we have never seen him actually fight a Heavyweight title fight against a Don King fighter - so we have no previous history to compare it to. No precedent. Chances are damn good that King has options.
not always, like Trinidad vs De La Hoya, he let Tito go this fight cos theres was lots of money. if Oscar had win this fight, i doupt that King had any options Oscar after that.
