    Saw this morning that he’s threatening to retire unless he gets a rematch with Wlad and a ridiculous thought came into my head – he wouldn’t have deliberately lost the first fight in order to get another huge payday before retirement would he? Please feel free to call me a stupid c*nt, but it is kind of like he hardly even tried in the fight (I don’t really buy that a broken toe would have had such a huge impact upon the biggest fight of his life), though of course this is 99.9% because of Klit just dominating him.

    The Dark Lord wouldn’t have devised a scheme where Wlad takes on perceived easy rematch only to come across a reenergised Haye would he? Then they both walk off after 2 huge paydays?

    Probably not, think I’m not feeling that well.

    Not that he'd do it anyway, but it don't make ££ sense.

    He'd make more for fighting Vitali coming off a win.

    OK.
    You stupid ****. :D


    BTW, a more plausible version of your scenario is that Wlad carried him to make a rematch possible.

    For another gigantic payday, one that he would see as low risk high reward?


    None taken, just a thought that came into my bleary mind this morning. Think I must have fallen asleep to Conspiracy Theory or something.

    True. I get the feeling Vitali is going to call it quits after Adamek though and in my warped theory Haye is looking for the rematch with Wlad because he thinks he can knock him out, I think he knows he can't do that to big bro.

    I know it's completely ludicrous, but what with the whole Fraudley fight where they were both blatantly in on it and Haye 'mentioned' to a few of his mates/family that he would take him out in the third, he's no stranger to a bit of dodgy stuff.

    As if he's getting a rematch. The buyrate would be relatively small straight after that let down anyway.

    If Haye's so desperate not to end his career like that he should earn a rematch. It would be better for the sport, earn him some respect and generate interest in a fight that, right now, I doubt anyone would really give a **** about.

    Because he'll earn 5 times as much fighting Haye than he will anyone else...you are deluded if you think that the game is about anything else other than money

    That's obviously not true though. American wouldn't be interested in an immediate rematch, Sky would struggle massively to sell it and Germany never paid over the odds to watch the first fight anyway.

    You don't think that a rematch would earn Wlad significantly more than his usual 3 mill a fight??, I do. Besides, I think that Haye fights Vitali first and then if he gets past the old man an absolutely mega gunfight at Wembley next summer....Its a £60m pound three fight bank robbery...theres too much money involved for it not to happen.

    The real purpose behind the pro game is so blatant these days that will probably be the tagline used to sell it. We'll have a live action entrance sequence with Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones doing 'One last job on the public's pockets'.

    If he'd have won, he'd have been able to grant a rematch, with the bigger split of the money, and in London, all of it on his terms and collected a huge payout. Maybe another one against Vitali. So I'm not going to say him intentionally losing is the stupidest thing I've ever read on here, but that's only because this is ESB and the standard is very, very high in that department.

    Haye is probably worried about losing to someone like Solis or Arreola. Losing to Wlad is one thing but losing to a second-tier heavyweight would totally ruin his legacy.
