Haye still ducking... Povetkin dropped to #11 in the IBF rankings....

im a haye fan, he was great at cruiser weight and his start in heavy weight was good too. But his silence is a complete joke, whats going on...

 

:good

 

:good Good I'm glad to see Povetkin's stock fall he deserves it.

Too bad Haye couldn't be stripped of his bull**** belt :fire

 

Haye is a complete disgrace, running his mouth first and then doing the biggest ****ing ***** out in the history of boxing. He should do modelling or something, posing suits him better than fighting.

 

One of the problems with heavyweight boxing is, because of the lack of talent, someone has a couple of good wins and theyre thrown in with the Klitschkos immediately. If you want to see the best fights then youve gotta give guys like Povetkin and Solis time to actually be worth of the title shot. Otherwise fights will always be boring and one sided

 

If it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and smells like a duck, you got a Haye.

 

Povetkin and Haye have been given YEARS already.

 

I supported Haye being quiet for a long time because unlike most of the idiots on here I actually followed his career and saw that when he was at cruiser he took on all comers so he is definately not afraid of anyone.

Right now, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt for a little while longer because we have yet to actually hear from him yet. But sooner or later actions will speak louder than words.

Hopefully, Haye comes out and lets us know what his side of the story is because Vitali coming out and saying we offered him 50/50 on all global revenue and he didn't respond make Haye look real bad.

 

Haye did respond, by saying they're in negotiations with several opponents. Neither of those is a Klitschko, that should tell you enough.

 

has anyone seen the contract offer from K2 to Povetkin?

shocking to be frank.

 

No. Can you provide a link? Or give a summary.

 

Povetkin's promoters Sauerland Event called the bout agreement received from Klitschko a "slave contract." Povetkin's manager sent some of the details to Russian boxing journalist Alexander Pavlov. Pavlov detailed some of the items that caused friction between Sauerland and Klitschko.

1. Povetkin has to visit (maybe more than one) joint or separate press conferences, participate in press trips, interviews, open training sessions and other public events as prescribed by K2 Promotions [Klitschkos' promotional company].

2. If Povetkin does not appear on one of the press events organized by K2, K2 will fine him the amount of at least $250,000 dollars.

3. K2 refuses to pay for relocation expenses, hotel accommodations, meals and transportation to and from the fight location, etc.

4. K2 refuses to provide health insurance for the duration of the fight and commits Povetkin to bear all of the costs of all medical expenses in treating injuries that he may receive in the fight.

5. Povetkin has to use the gloves provided by K2, from the company Grant. Povetkin is not allowed to bring his own gloves even in an unopened package or use gloves by any company other than Grant.

Kalle Sauerland of Sauerland Event told Sportal.de the contract was very unfair because K2 did not draft the agreement under the common form of a "mandatory defense" and instead plugged in their own terms as if the fight was made without a purse bid being involved.

"We will not allow Klitschko to dictate their terms to us. We understand that the contract should be signed, according to clear rules, which are drawn up with agreement based on a mandatory defense of title. Klitschko, however, completely ignored these common rules, and we received a document of 26 pages, which can only be described as a slave contract."

 

How the hell is that a slave contract, they expect him to pay certain things from his own share and to show up at press conferences to promote the fight :?

 

Are you kidding? All those things are normal clauses. No slave contract for you.

 

so getting fined for not turning up at press conferences is ok?

what if something had happened, like a transportation break down or illness etc?
