If Haye's a ducker then we're all duckers.

Who out there can honestly say they wouldn't follow this path.

Wlad vs Haye
2nd April 2009 Haye and Klitschko sign contracts after months of negotiations.
3rd of June Haye pulls out claiming injury but the truth is rumours were rife that Setanta was going under.
24th June sure enough setanta sinks.

Setanta was Hayes main source of revenue and since we now know Haye earns £3 million upwards on PPV that's a huge cut. Who's to say if Setanta hadn't gone under Haye wouldn't have already fought Wlad?

Vitali vs Haye
10th of July 2009 it's announced that terms have been agreed between both camps.
23rd July without any contract actually being signed Haye chooses a November fight with Valuev.
Obviously he was in talks with both camps and chose Valuev over Klitschko. Remember if the fight with Vitali happened he'd have been out of the ring for 10 months going into only his second successive HW fight. To put this in perspective Holyfield had 6 fights over 2 years before facing Douglas, It will be 2 years for Haye come July.

So to summarise he was going to make next to nothing against Wlad and pulled out. He chose Valuev over Vitali for slightly less money at far less risk knowing in the long run through voluntary/mandatory defences he'd make a truck load more £££. Even if he lost in that time he'd have rematch clauses written in so more £££. In choosing Valuev he's probably added more than $10 million to his bank account.

So lets get up to speed, Hayes not happy that Wlad wants a tune up fight with Chisora. As for his reasons I don't know, maybe because he can't squeeze in a tune up himself in that time? Maybe because he doesn't want Wlad risking his titles against Chisora just in case the fluke win happens then Wlad has to have a rematch thus pushing it back and if the million to one chance he loses again it's Vitali next pushing back even further. Or maybe Wlad risking injury pushing the date back, maybe all of the above? Regardless it looks like he's giving Wlad a choice, Chisora or me, or maybe he'll fight him anyway since he hasn't said otherwise yet.



Now, who here would do things differently and why?
A detailed step by step what you would do differently please rather than the same old bull****.:good

 

According to Bernd Bonte, the Klitschkos' manager, a deal was agreed and set to be signed for Haye and Vitali to meet - only for him to learn in the English media that the Londoner had changed his mind.
It now appears unlikely that Haye will meet either of the Klitschko brothers, even if he wins Valuev's WBA title.
"At the moment I would say there is zero chance," said Bonte, when asked whether the brothers would negotiate with Haye in the future.
"We discussed twice with the guy and he pulled out twice so why should we do it a third time? I would say, at the moment, no.

When you look at the whole situation from the first Wlad fight up to now I can honestly say I'd do the same thing. Pulling out from the Wlad fight was not a duck, he was in discussion with Valuev and Vitalis people, he chose Valuev, not a duck. Now all he asks is that Wlad faces him next, not Chisora. Some people say Wlad needs a tune up to stay sharp, well he's only been out of the ring 2 months longer than Haye, Haye can't have a tune up so wants a level playing field I guess.

Regardless it looks like Haye is basically saying Chisora or me, choose. Maybe he'll still fight in July, we're just guessing at this point.

 

Money may not enter his head to the extent it does of his promoter, co promoters everyone involved in his management and accountants. But to take a guy at his word 100% is just crazy, it's a business. You're also forgeting Haye has Sauderland, King and GBP to shell out to who had options on him so whatever he gets you can take a big chunk out, the Klitschko's have no such obligations.

They were in negotiation with both sides wanting what they feel is their fare share and neither side could come to an agreement, both sides are to blame so how is it a duck?

Call him a liar about his motives with regards to money if you wish, that does not mean he's ducking.

 

My point was more to do with the fact it was only his second fight at heavyweight but come July Haye will have been inactive for 8 months, Wlad 10, is it really that big of a difference?
After a camp you're body returns to normal state after a couple of months of inactivity, It's a level playing field essentially. With Wlad having a tune up fight it could be Haye views it that Wlad has an advantage, Haye doesn't have an option of a tune up fight as there's no dates availible on for UK PPV I believe.

But remember Haye hasn't actually said it's off has he? I wish he'd release a statement saying it's Chisora or me, choose.
