    600k equals just under 1.2 million american dollars or a big pay cut from the 2 million dollars he earnt v macrannelli.

    also you are forgetting the fact that warren talks **** about haye in every column as warren does about hatton/audley harrison, /every sinklge fighter who refused to sign with him.

    before the macrannelli fight warren offered haye £250k for the macranelli fight plus options on haye if he won that he would be stipulated to fight
    skelton/williams/sprott.

    haye told him to come up with a sensible offer and a one time only deal.

    warren duly did.

    with warren offeres you always but always have to read the small print.

    also haye is box office.

    22,000 crowd for a fight taking place at 2am in the morning.

    no he hasnt, am just saying if he didnt KO skelton, skelton may make the fight very boring to watch and thats not what david needs in his 1st fight at heavyweight he needs a good proformance for the others in the divsion to sit up and take notice

    This is an interesting fight. If Skelton can weather Haye's punches and stay aggressive then this fight could be trouble for Haye. I tend to think though that Haye has enough boxing ability though to get past him.

    more like 1.18 million USD

    anyways if its 1.2 million with options then its not a good deal at all.

    I've seen Skelton get knocked out in K1 or whatever it is he used to compete in. I'm sure it was a punch as well, not a knee or a kick.

    Skelton would be better than Rahman, Rahman Is made for Haye since he relies on the jab and boxing ability more than physical strength.

    skelton was badly wobbled by williams in their first fight in bout round 11 i think. williams says haye is one of the hardest punchers hes come across!! it would be a really good statement if haye could knock him out!!:bbb

    Rahman is a ranked 4#WBC, 3#IBF, 12#WBA 13#WBO. So he is Top 10 or very close to the top 10 fighters.


    Skelton chalenget WBA title just couple of months ago.
    at least he is not fighting against Ray Austin. :yep

    Ray Austin was the IBF mandatory smartass. Neither Rahman or Skelton deserve to be ranked in the top 10.
