I think he went into the fight thinking he could still win despite the injury
I agree with everything you said, his timing was shite , he has had abuse in the past and he probably did take Bellew lightly. But my point is that how do YOU feel about a professional athlete earning millions for a fight going into it without even being fully fit? People bought tickets and PPV to see the best David Haye , which isn't unreasonable considering he was paid the best money.
after all, it's not like they can go back to Haye and say "alright you weren't properly fit , so we'll only pay you half!" yet he can think " I'm not properly fit , but I'll take the money anyway and a bit of a gamble" .
doesn't seem right to me.
