K2's options was a slave contract, with little money, a rematch and second brother clause and enough favoured nations status stipulations that Haye would have probably ended up paying the Klits to fight them. The Sauerland options were a promotional deal for Europe, plus Haye got to take £5 from every PPV sale in the UK for the Valuev fight. Little bit different in execution. The Klits have a long history of dominating contract negotiations to disadvantage their opponents, so why should they be taken seriously now?
Say there are three women you want to know in a biblical sense. One is your dream girl, 2 is...your dream girl's almost equally attractive sister and three is a woman you would take if the money were right and consider yourself only mildly lucky. You'd probably consider three to be a distant third in comparison to one and two. Anyway, what were we talking about again? Oh, yeah. Haye is like a woman you would...no, wait...Never mind. This whole comment was a bad idea.
Is this a serious thread???? It cant be??? Why not fight and beat Wlad?? Then he be better then K2......... But he's a ***** and doesnt want to do that.
You're talking out your ass Hayelord, prove it or STFU. ***** boy already said to be considered the best, he had to beat both brothers anyway. He wanted those clauses in the contract, and he SIGNED the contract didn't he?
Really who are all theses people who were complaining about contract's with either brother Name them, And did you ever see the contract and what was written? or are you going off of compulsive Liars like Haye and Boothe? if not you are full of **** and making stuff up:deal
going off recent reports looks like i got what i wanted anyways. wlad will fight povetkin and haye is beginning negotiations with vitali after he disposes of sosnowski. dont get me wrong if either klitschko retires before haye fights them i willbe mightily angered at haye, much like calzaghe you know i always hoped he would really step up ad then he goes and fights shot rjjj instead of awson or tarver or johnson! im not just a fanboy,i also turned on eubank after his shambolic resume. i do genuinely believe that after he beats vitali, he will face off with wlad, but hall be like 18 months off. i also wanna see him fight harison as well, that would be huge in england!
I can't be bothered to dig up an article and quote, but SNV complained about the contract with Klitschko saying it was tantamount to a 'slave contract'. You're welcome to search for it; I'm not going to. And I'm guessing the number of ESB posters who have seen a professional boxing contract is <0.01%. I doubt CHEF is even allowed to see signed contracts for the Klits, so the chances of a random ESB posters seeing one are slim to none.
Well the "hope" game begins anew, but I am not holding my breath. Let me just say this (although I am not a fan of Haye): It would be good for boxing if Haye could somehow win a fight against Vitali and snatch the WBC belt from him, but only under the condition if he then immediately faced Wlad for the unified title. I doubt Haye will fight Vitali nor that he can win realistically (maybe if he could injury Vitali somehow), but it would probably generate a lot of interest if we could see a 4-way title unification at HW.
Valuev (a Sauerland fighter) commenting on another Sauerland fighter's contract with the Klits (Haye): [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT] I don't recall Valuev ever complaining about the contract terms Vitali offered to himself. As far as I remember it was "just" about the money as Valuev asked for $4 million Dollars and Vitali "only" offered $2.5 million, considering Valuev came without a belt. Keep in mind Valuev's top payday when actually HOLDING his WBA belt was approx. $1.5 million Dollars.
