    I don't remember hearing any of their opponents complaining about their contracts. Povetkin did not complain. Chambers will not complain, and neither will Arreola. It's not the contracts Haye was afraid of.

    95 combined fights and no real complain and then there was Haye...

    ...but the Hayehuggers will say:"They only made a ****ed up contract because they are afraight of Haye so that they don“t have to fight him..." :nut:rofl

    And they refuse to admit that Haye is afraid to fight a top ten heavyweight.

    They "only" way Haye can win is if Don King tells Valoeuv to take a dive like WWF.

    The first fight Haye backed out because he was getting barely any money since the company backing him went bust. As far as the Vitali contract is concerned, I didn't see it, so who knows.

    For the record, Maskaev had contract disputes with Vitali back in late 06. When all was said and done the fight never happend because Vitali wanted too much money for being the challenger coming into the fight.

    Maskaev did all he could to keep from fighting Vitali. Would have been mismatch.

    Farmer,

    Haye clearly wussed out in my view................. He has a lot of self doubt as a heavyweight.....

    And Povetkin claimed an injury, however, it became obvious that his team figured out that their boy wasn't / isn't ready for Wlad Klitschko.......

    No matter what happens, neither Chambers or Arreola are ready to fight a "K" brother........

    The current crop of young and available pretenders just totally sucks long shaft deep down to the base of things............

    Thats not true, Vitali wanted too much money for coming into the ring the challenger. Maskaev just called out Vitali recently, and Vitali wanted no part of him. I remember it held up the WBC picture further, so instead of Peter getting his title shot as promised, he was forced to fight Toney again.

    Chambers is a poor man's version of Byrd, except Byrd is much better and is southpaw. Look at Vlad's skills in the ring.

    I wouldn't mind Haye going for Valuev if Haye was more upright and not such a big-mouth ***** from the start. Complaining and whining about the Klitz now after they went out of their way to make fights with him happen really shows a lack of class and character on Haye's end.

    Now don't tell me "I don't care about character, I wanna see exciting fights instead of snoozefests". Not the Klitz' fault their opponents back out of fights or get completely neutralized in the ring.

    The problem is that Haye thinks he's a superstar. Klit's other opponents are easy to deal with, because they realize that they're not the main attraction.

    The way I remember it it wasn't only Maskaev who wanted big money but Peter's camp wanted millions for stepping aside. They basically asked Vitali to give up most of his purse because he would have had to pay two parties. Vitali figured it would economically be better to let the fight Peter - Maskaev go ahead and then enforce a fight against the winner of that contest.

    Saying it was Vitali's fault alone that this fight didn't go ahead because of his "greed" or "financial demands" is a bit harsh IMO.

    Thats the price you pay when you want to comeback after 2 years and pass up others like Peter and McCall who were already set to fight for the title at that time.

    The thread starter claimed Haye was the only fighter to have contract problems with the Klitschko's, I just gave an example of instance where a fighter had a problem with Vitali's demands/money.

    Yes, but also you have to admit it wasn't just simple dispute with one fighter. It was two fighters/camps at the same time. Vitali saw it was wiser to let the #1 challenger get his shot so he didn't even go into arbitration at that point. He only went for arbitration to get rid of Maskaev after the Gomez mandatory.

    Also I never heard Maskaev cry foul over the contract as Vitali stepped back. That was the original claim of this thread. To the contrary it appears to me Maskaev was quite happy as he viewed Peter as the easier task.

    Vitali - Maskaev/Peter wasn't a contract dispute in any way comparable to Haye's claims of the Klitschkos being overly greedy or employing "slave contract tactics".
