All those rivalries mentioned in your first sentence featured most if not all of the above.
When you mention Haye-Bellew, it fails miserably on just about all the ingredients.


But to answer your question, I can't think of any "bad" rivalries right off hand.
When people say "Oh he's just trying to sell the fight" in the build up to any fight I hate it. Haye is one of the worst about it because he'll do all of these outrageous things and then bail on a fight....either you hate the guy enough that you're serious in which case money is less of an issue OR you're a con artist with no backbone....Haye is most certainly a con artist
