    Default Anyone else reckon the Haye fight is off 'cause Setanta aint paid him?

    We all know they're going bust; and we all know that the only money Haye is getting is the Setanta money.

    It was always just about the money. Read up. Pretty much explains everything

    Yol, VD, as you know your stuff, can you name fights that have happened where the money was irrelevant?

    What guys fight or have fought for free?

    I was wondering that too.

    Don't know of ANY other fighter who would climb into the ring potentially risking there life for no money

    I would have thought Haye would have had a percentage of the gate.....the Setanta money would have been a side issue?

    All rather fishy if you ask me

    The contract was always a little lob-sided; all the European money and American money to Klitch, as well as the gate. Plus a rematch and a challenge for his bro to Haye's UK money.

    Terry Norris-Paul Vaden. Fight was on Fox. Norris took less money than Vaden in this unification fight just for the oppertunity to fight his bitter rival. Both were from San Diego and they hated each other. From the beginning Norris said he no desire to knock Vaden out. What he wanted was to punish him for 12 rounds. And he did. Even after beating his ass Norris refused to shake hands with him

    So they BOTH still got paid, right? That means the money WAS relevant.

    You know any fighters that have fought for no pay?

    The money is relevant when it becomes an issue. It was never an issue for Norris.

    No fighter is allowed to fight for free. No matter what they say. You should know that

    The money wasn't an issue but Norris still got paid, right? It must have been an issue. So what were their purses?

    Why isn't a fighter allowed to fight for free?

    You work for free at your job? Only an idiot would fight for free. But lets say there is a fighter who's stupid enough to fight for free. You really think his trainer, promoter and manager would do the same? No. Even if he didn't want it he would almost be forced to take it

    Right.. you said "No fighter is allowed to fight for free" - So it's not illegal, right? Just plain fucking stupid.

    Just like it's plain fucking stupid to suggest money is irrelevant, right?

    What were Norris and Vaden's purses?

    I'm thinking your saying Haye shouldn't fight for free. I agree. What exactly is your point?
