    From what i understand, Haye and Wladmir agreed for the JUly 2 date.

    Then WLad takes a fight before. Then Haye says "no, you can't do that. Fight is off".

    Feel free to correct me.

    its a tune up, if Haye wants the fight, he'll take it... Vlad is the recognized champ not just one holding paper like Haye..

    If Haye needs a tuneup also take one, he doesn't need to abide by a television channels schedule.. Theres plenty of other networks who would pay for a Haye fight..

    Wladimir has moved the 'Goalposts' at the last hour and I can understand why Haye is pissed off after agreeing to every Wlad demand.

    Haye needs to just get on with the Chagaev fight, though its tricky to see Haye being able to fight beginning of July, if he can only get TV dates for Chagaev in May or June. (Still need a venue etc to sort out for a Chagaev match plus Chagaev has to pass UK medical tests)

    Hopefully common sense prevails and both sides push back the early July date by a month. Both have a fight before and every ones happy. Likelihood is 10%.

    :lol:

    Why would anyone need and excuse for fighting twice before the end of July not once?

    Seriously. Again. Why would anyone need and excuse for fighting twice instead of once?

    In the old days this would be a smart move. One of the reasons Tyson was so sharp coming up was how often he fought. This is how lost boxing is today. Everyone is complainng about something that improves a fighter and gives him a shot of performing at a higher level. Steward probably realizes this.

    If Haye doesn't want a tune up then that's fine, but why does it matter to him that Wladimir does. If Wladimir loses to Chisora then it is his own fault. So why not sign for the fight in July.

    I totally see why Wlad wants a tune up

    why be inactive going into a giant fight

    and he stayed inactive between Chag and Chambers due to haye negotiations and he didnt need a tune up for those guys

    on the main page Haye made a million complaints of Wlad pickes the gloves (does it matter) oh Wlad wants to come out second (hes the champ its his entitlement jsut like the bigger purse) he wants the red corner (who cares and usually Wlad has red trunks and Haye blue) and Wlad wants his name first on everything (he's the champ)

    If Haye was the Ring Champ Id be all for his demands but he is the CHALLENGER

    I think it is pretty lame how people accept it like it is no big deal. Its like they would rather see Wlad vs. Chisora than Wlad vs. Haye. I knew this crap would happen. Nobody wants to see Chisora vs. Wlad same as nobody wants to see Haye vs. Chagaev. Boxing politics as usual. What a joke.

    What's the fuzz about?
    If Wlad wants to fight Chisora first and Haye after then let him.
    If Haye wants to fight a tuneup against some bum then let him!

    It's not like it changes the outcome of the bout according to any of the fans!
    Haye fans think he will KO Wlad, the rest thinks Haye will get KO'd... easy as that!

    Haye can have a tune-up too, what's the problem?, I know very few will support a rematch with Fraudley Harrison.

    About it being in Germany, that's fair. Big fights should not happen in England, no one wants a circus show when you're watching a serious highly anticipated fight.

    Wlad needs a ****ing tune up fight ? how long has this excuse for a fighter been in the game ?
    Get the **** out of here.
    He is full of **** and doesnt want to fight haye.
    Anyone that thinks wlad would fight haye 8 weeks after fighting that ***** Chisora should think again.
