    If the falling apart of Golovkin Eubank taught us anything, it's that Hearn always has a Plan B.

    We know haters will accuse Joshua and Hearn of ducking Klitschko, despite the fact they was the ones that reached out and have made the deal, not only will Klitschko not fight without it being a unification, he cannot because he's not ranked by the IBF and is coming off a loss.

    Now Joshua and Haye are both due to fight on Dec 10th, Haye hasn't announced his opponent yet but has booked the Millennium stadium for it (which is way too much for him vs. Browne or Briggs, especially on the same night as Joshua). Haye is ranked 3rd with the IBF and basically come our of retirement for that fight. Makes sense to me.

    If Plan B is Haye he gets KTFO quicker than he would against Wlad.

    I can't believe haye booked the millennium stadium and what's worse that the millennium stadium took the booking with no money involved as if yet.

    Like haye was ever gonna be able to sell out that stadium.

    Why? You can't just book these venues without a bond that would be non returnable you know. The stadium wont lose out.

    I would credit you for a bold prediction but there is an absolute gigantic list of excuses to be made if the reverse happens (Haye shot, hasn't fought in 5 years, blown up Cruiserweight, doing it for money, etc) that I'm sure you can use.

    Apart from losing out on Anthony Joshua fighting at the stadium that night instead.

    Hearn wanted it and was told haye already booked it.

    I don't understand why Haye would of put up money for the millennium stadium.

    There isn't a fight he realistically he could of got which would of made money fighting there.

    It makes no sense!!!

    Depends how much it costs really doesn't it? Just because it holds 5 times more than the 02 it doesn't mean it costs 5 x more.

    O2 would not be cheap, doubt the millenium costs much more than 50% extra if that. Haye v Browne would easily get the extra bums on seats he would need to make good money, and we don't know what TV deals he may or may not have, depending on opponent.

    I think it will be Price, although the reaction to Price calling out Joshua and trying to put himself in line was very negative.

    It would be justified by Hearn saying nobody else was available and Price courageously stepped in and basically saved the December show, also giving other fighters lower on the bill to earn some money before the new year.

    It actually makes me feel sick.
