    I'm not voting as I think the poll is loaded.
    The simple reason is, as everyone knows, the majority if not all of Haye's money as written in the contract was to come from setanta sports, setanta went under, therefore Haye would have been fighting for practically nohing had the bout(s) gone ahead.

    well, the Valuev fight showed why. also he was knocked down by Monte Barett. The klitschkos are obviously better and perhaps this is the reason, no?

    ....or option D) Setanta collapsed and they were the only ones paying him.

    Unfortunately for you, he won't even get the opportunity now that King and Sauerland own him. You'll see his bogus title being tied up for 3 years fighting Ruiz, Valuev again, Ray Austin, and whomever else Don King sees fit.

    This.

    A unification fight brings more money to the table. Th klits should still get the bigger piece of the pie but Haye shouldnt have to sign to K2

    Pay attention please. The poll pertains to the Vitali fight, not the Wlad one. :patsch
