    Asnwer question with question? It would be enough to say " Yes, i believe in everything what Haye mutters". Responding after 2 months of silence with a shallow info when Klits seem to be already busy with other rivals is not very convincing for me.

    Like others have said, this is predictable. Haye was quiet when the Klits wanted him, and now he's a tough talker again when the Klits are about to sign contracts with other fighters.

    Here is a link to the entire article: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5339752

    We all know Haye is a *****. I can't wait until he's gone.

    I'm sure Haye would have refuted that had he not been banned from talking to the press :rofl :rofl

    Seriously, this is the lamest, most pathetic and the silliest excuse sinse "I didn't want my dad to get credit" :-(

    Haye's words have as much credibility as the British tabloids.

    Haye has already broken two contracts with Klitschkos. He is a liar and a coward.

    Before you have said Booth denied a "50/50 offer was made". Now you say Booth denied that "he received any type of offer" was made?

    What's your source, where did Booth say that?

    How is "no 50/50 offer received" and "we didn't receive any offer whatsoever" the same thing? Big difference IMO.

    Can you post a link to the Bunce Radio show where Bunce or Booth said that they never received any offer whatsoever?

    First time round Bunce said "there was no 50-50" and when he discussed it again he said "Booth told me there was no offer". either way there was no 50-50 offer.

    the show no longer available but ask about it on the brit forum and several posters will confirm.

    Just to point out I have been very critical of Haye in recent months but you shouldn't believe anything that comes out of the K2 camp. I don't think Haye wants the fight but I don't think the Klitsckos want it that badly either.

    The offer was 50:50 with no options.

    Haye refuses to fight Wlad.

    Well my very honest opinion is that Haye is not outright ducking the Klits but he's no longer persueing them. He's happy with how things are and does not want to risk much at this point. Maybe he just wants to get rid of Sauerland who are taking a cut of his purse.

    I believe he has two more fights under Sauerland and if I am right then he won't fight the Klits while he has to give part of his purse to them. After two more fights under their banner he'd be a free agent and could pocket "100% of his 50%" if he goes against Wlad. Just a personal theory, I am as clueless as anyone.

    Thinking about it, maybe Booth was thinking out loud when he said "We weren't offered 50%" because part of Haye's 50% (I don't know how much though) lands in Sauerland's hands. Maybe Haye thinks he's not going to risk his neck against Wlad unless he makes all the money for himself without splitting it.

    thats a very good point. If Haye fight Adameck next I will be happy. also get the feeling they want Vitali first.

    i doubt thats what Booth was saying. There was no 50-50 pretty sure of it.
