Haye + a Klitschko does for more on Sky PPV than Haye vs Valuev/Ruiz/Harrison or anybody else he would be facing in the future. Like it or not, Klitschko is still responsible for a large portion of that Sky PPV money for a reason. Haye needs all the help he can get opponent wise on PPV after the joke of a Harrison 'fight'. If the fights down in Germany as they agreed, how much would Wlad be pulling in in gate receipts compared to Haye? Who is the recognised heavyweight champion of the world and who's essentially the challenger to that title? Who would be paying for the costs for the entire event?
May and June are avail for the fight on Sky. But, Klitschko doesn't want England. He wants July in Germany. Why fight Chisora when u could fight Haye in May?
The drama continues. IMO the fight should have been made on neutral ground, especially since Haye has a belt. Nevertheless, Wlad is in better position to dictate.
So if Booth says something it's automatically true? Klitschko offered a straight 50-50 split despite being the more established champion, holding more titles and so on. Lennox Lewis took a 33% split for the first Holyfield fight because he held one title, Evander had two. Haye just needs to grow a pair or retire and leave boxing to boxers.
haye made 750,000 sales alone at the ppv in the audley fight. He could sell this fight in england easily
david haye is the biggest waste of ****ing space in boxing. im so tired of this guy's bull****. none of wlad's demands are even abnormal. especially seeing as how he's the ring champ. this guy pulls out of two separate fights with the klitschkos and how he's complaining because there's a .0001 percent chance that wlad will get hurt fighting chisora or make some excuse about fighting on two dates that are too close together (even though they're 2 months apart) to make it look like he REALLY wants this fight. **** david haye. if you aren't furious with this idiot you're either not paying attention or you're buying into his lies and cowardice.
Maybe because of what Haye did to Wlad in his last fight? This way... if Haye pulls out again, Wlad can keep his venue and get another opponent? Seems simple to me. I think Germany clearly makes the most sense. They sold 60,000 tickets with ease last time around in Germany. Why would they bother doing it anywhere else? Especially when Haye was unable and refused to secure a fight in England the first time around. Wlad had his dates set.... and offered Haye either one that he wanted. Haye made his choice, and Wlad agrees with him... and also chooses to stay busy and fight on his earlier date as well. I don't see the big deal. Look at Wlad's earlier career. The man fought 24 fights in his first 2 years as a pro. A quick turn around for a fight won't be anything new to him.
They agreed on july 2. They couldn't do april because sky only show one ppv a month and are committed to khan. They couldn't do may or june because wlad didn't want to travel. July was the earliest date they could agree on. We can dress it up however we want, we can justify or debate the pro's and con's, but we can't deny that it was wlad(or promoter) who said no to signing the contract. I still think it will happen, but if it doesn't in july it is because of the champ. As I said if it doesn't overall we can blame both parties. However i'd rather spend the rest of the year watching the best compete, rather than discuss who ducked who.
Haye had all of his countrymen hook line and sinker with his big talk coming into the heavyweight division. Some other fell into the nonesense too. Just a bunch of Klitschko haters who are desperate to find someone that will beat him. So, they put all of their hope and backing into Haye. Since then... Haye has done so many ******ed things, backed out of fights, ruined negotiations, disappeared, ect.... and these guys followed him right off the deep end. Now they have choice but to keep on supporting every stupid move he makes, and every outlandish thing that he says.
Because they don't have a date for RTL - their German TV network - in May or June. They have one's for April or July - hence they are the dates they gave. They tried to get Sky to move back or forward the Khan fight so they could do it in April. Sky won't. April is off. They can't do May or June because RTL don't have dates for whatever reason. They have a contract with RTL and as such I doubt can put it on ARD instead. So the July 2nd date is the first available date in which both RTL & Sky have a slot available to put this fight on. Haye then backs out crying about Wlad wanting to fight Chisora in April in the mean-time, for absolutely no apparently reason whatsoever he's backed out because he doesn't want Wlad taking another fight.
Wlad still agrees to fight in July. It is David Haye who has a problem with it, because Wlad is fighting before July. Didn't you bother reading?
