Haye strikes me as someone who will not be afraid to test himself taking risks fighting the most dangerous opponent. Which promotional; agency will provide him the platform to the Heavyweight title. Don King Arum, Or will Golden Boy enter the Heavyweight Mix? I think Don King will pull alll the stops to get this guy. Don will realise this is not a 190lber moving up this is a 6"3 Powerhouse Cruiser with Tyson like explosiveness.
i cannot see haye signing anything with king. he has got this far ,by refusing to sign with the uk`s biggest promoter, cannot see him tieing himself down to king. not sure who odlh brings to the table at heavy as i do not know his heavyweight stable.
Haye is an intelligent person & he'll most probably go with the promoter who offers the most financially lucrative contract. Haye is a superstar in the making & will make lots of money, even when he's retired from boxing.
Is Haye even a free agent? I honestly have no idea... Goosen has been trying to make a splash at HW for what seems like forever. If Haye is indeed a free agent, I wouldn't be shocked to see him sign Haye by offering a contract that is much more favorable to Haye than you would normally expect.
Haye would not sign with King for no amount of money, he wants to be unifed champ not a paper belt holder.
HWs like to get paid well even if their skill level is waaay below than the elite in other divisions. Therefore you really have to have a strong promoter behind you putting down the hard cash on the table... that's how you can get big names or a title shot without being a mandatory or an easy fighter to beat... because these champions are fighting mandatories and easy contenders as voluntary defenses... I don't know if Arum wants any part of the heavies, but I do know that ALL HWs should avoid Don King! Of course Golden Boy Promotions is looking to the U.K. market this year (signing Hatton, Hatton's getting a promotional licence) so signing Haye would be the next big thing. Of course GBP is the co-promoter of Ibragimov who still can get back into the mix, but given the Hayemaker's style, power, charisma and being able to speak the language well - trashing the HWs but respecting the TVs, fans, it looks like Haye can be the next big thing if his chin can take the HW shots... and his chin is not that horrible... so GBP should sign him...
I was wondering about this, Frank Maloney didnt seem to be there or around Hayes entourage on fight night, I got the impression he isnt with him anymore! Maloney was in the building, he was in the corner of someone on the undercard but when Haye beat Mormeck he was visible with Haye wearing his Union Flag suit.
