Re: American Heavyweights running scared of David Haye
Haye needs to STFU about people backing out until he has a contract signed. How do I know there was no contract? Because there is no law-suit.
There are plenty of heavyweights for him to fight. But let's be honest he needs to be less picky right now, take a damn fight get the contract signed and move on. At this point he's got a date of 11/15/08 (15/11/08 for those of you outside the US) Which leaves 8 weeks for a training camp if the fight was made today. Now take away from that at least 1 week for negotiations, that leaves a 7 week training camp. Now take 1 week at the end to fly to the UK (assuming this is a US fighter) to get used to the time change, and get rid of jet lag, that leaves a 6 week training camp. Of course the training camp will need to be set-up sparring partners brought in that could another week.
So he is asking for someone to play in his backyard, for relatively little money, with an abbreviated training camp. Not sure many RANKED fighters would go for that.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
