Just watched the live weigh in for the big fight tomorrow.
Adam Booth (Haye's trainer) was interviewed by Setanta and his opening line was "they fell for it"
He went on to explain that Haye's weight drain problems are all bullshit. The bullshit was actually started by Haye himself. Apparently this fabrication started because Haye and Booth didn't think Warren would put Enzo in with Haye , unless he had a significant advantage (the weight issues).
Booth went onto to say that Haye always makes the weight comfortably and the lie was actually started a while back by David Haye in post fight interviews etc...to try and entice Macca and Warren into a future big money fight. Apparently Booth was very surpised at this tactic as he had no idea what Haye was doing.....but Haye obviously did.
Sounds a bit far fetched but i've just been thinking about it now and i have come the conclusion that there may be truth behind it seen as tho....
a) Haye has come in 2 pounds under the limit and he's actually been taking on fluids right up to the weigh in. Now 2 pounds is quite a lot. Everyone made a big deal when Hatton came in 2 pounds under against Mayweather....altho i appreciate 2 pounds at cruiser is slightly different than it is at lighter weights
b) Why would Booth say this now if it wasn't true? Because now if Haye loses there is no excuse. He always had the weight issue to fall back on. Booth seemed extremely confident and the way he said "they fell for it big time" was very believable.
Thoughts anyone?
