If Vitali retires what will happen to the WBC belt?

[YOUNG_M_ALI]

This is what I can't figure out, how long does it usually take for a belt to become vacant after someone retires? And who will fight for it? I think that Haye will want it badly and Tyson Fury, Adamek, Pulev, Pricey, Solis, Helenius (if he's fit) could all be in the mix.

It seems that Wlad won't get it either because that moron head of the WBC no longer wants unification fights. A move that infuriates me, but it stops Wlad getting it and fighting a list of bums for until he retires leaving everyone else without a title.

Wlad will probs fight another no hoper for it, or hopefully Wlad to fight the winner of a Super Six consisting of Haye, Adamek, David Price, Povetkin, Arreola, and Helenius. That would be grand !!

If that tournament could be made that would be brilliant for boxing and in particular the HW's. It would be better with 2 more names in it so we could start with the quarter final and have the eventual finalists fighting 3 times in 1 year for their shot. It will never happen but I like the idea.

The WBC will look round for the biggest ticket seller/TV money maker and basically give him the title so they can get the biggest possible sanctioning fees from the belt. Like they do with every other fucking belt.

Haye then?

Haye then?

I don't think he wants to fight anymore. He needs big names to fight to make big money. He only had one of the Russian brothers left to fight and he would have been on the seriously short end of the purse until the Munich presser when he hit the jackpot. Sky aren't doing PPV anymore and Warren doesn't have any more sellable heavies. Haye is only going to fight again for big money.

I don't know who is the best option for the WBC going forward. Adamek maybe. We'll find out soon enough.

IF the WBC were to make Adamek champ Haye would chase him like he has the Klits. He wants to be world champ again that is clear. If someone else was a belt holder right now he would be after them. As a fan of Haye this disappoints me but everyone has their faults and Haye knows the only way to get the Klits to share a purse is to put something into the fight and a world title is the ideal thing.

I actually think Haye might have Warren on his side the next time he goes into negotiations too. At the end of the day he is the biggest promoter in europe and he has landed Klit fights before for a much less known fighter too.

Maybe he'd make a comeback for an Adamek fight but Adamek would be bringing the money to that fight unless Sky do a PPV. That's Haye's problem, getting UK TV to give him a huge wedge for a fight. Nobody in Britain knows Adamek or basically any other heavyweight apart from the Klitschkos, so it's got to be one of them. Haye was willing to at least negotiate a comeback for the very short end of the purse against Vitali until the Chisora incident. He hit the jackpot due to that so may now not give a shit about further fights -- the Chisora purse is more than he could have reasonably expected to make over the rest of his career, so he may not now give a shit about boxing.

I can't see Warren ever getting involved in negotiations for Haye. Haye would only ever do business with Warren as far as selling Haye's own promotion to Warren's TV channel.

Are we to assume he ever fought for anything else?

Lyle do you know that you're blindly rehashing the same posts over and over again anytime anyone even thinks of the name David Haye? You must have a word doc with them all ready to cut and paste no? If you don't you should, would save time.

Cant stop, I'm off to the Wlad can beat Tyson thread to count up how many times I think 'Brit Haye fanboy' would have been chucked into the conversation had someone suggested something equally ludicrous but in David Hayes name.
