    isnt that exactly what hes doing, risking the chance for big money? hes got the big money fight available to him right now, actually the two biggest money fights cus even if he loses to wlad i bet vitali would still want a piece of him as well, by taking a lesser fight hes risking losing and the big money goes bye bye

    They were quite content paying to see Haye run for eleven and a half rounds against Valuev.

    That's dubious at best. How do you know that Haye received more money for the Valuev fight that he would have for that Vitali fight? The most Valuev has ever earned in a fight was 2 million and Vitali offered him 3, which he promptly turned down. How much did Haye earn against Valuev. There's no way it was over 2 million.

    was frazier a fraud when he fought terry daniels and ron stander after beating ali, before facing the man in your av? was foreman a fraud when he fought jose roman after winning the title?

    But as far as I know, he IS the first boxer to ever achieve this level of bull****.

    Seriously... Has there ever been a fighter in history to sucessfully pull off the "Clubber Lane" style call out... then "bish out" once he actually gets the fights made???

    I can't think of other examples of this scenario in pro boxing?

    Exactly.

    Though I must admit now is the time to fight Vitali.

    I'm sorry, who is Ali in this ridiculous analogy? Are you saying beating Valuev was the on par with Frazier's win over Ali and Foreman winning the title? :lol:

    You're selling him short.
    Haye earned around $6 million for the Valuev.

    Okay...Perhaps some Haye fan from the UK can answer this question for me. You guys freely admit that Haye faked a back injury and lied because the network folded. You admit that he continues to lie to you, his fans, to this day...And you are somehow okay with this? Why are you so quick to defend a fighter who privaricates and continues to do so every chance he gets? It doesn't make any sense to me. :D

    I call hot, steaming bull**** on that one, friend. Valuev never earned anywhere close to 6 million for a fight. Of that I am sure. And you're saying that an unproven heavy from the UK and he fought in a 7,000 seat arena and Haye somehow earned more than Valuev has ever earned in a fight. With no Sentana and probably a 30/70 split. :patschNot a chance.

    Asking the wrong guy, I consider myself a Haye fan as much as I do the Klitschkos.

    I only comment from a business perspective since that's what I know about and from that pov Haye's made good decisions.

    The key word is probably. You don't know that they would. But now you know that your man is a liar. There is no doubt about it.
