David Haye - Retiring?

[Bobthepen]

Haye needs Vitali.

Both Klitskos do not need Haye.

Haye has no intention of fighting anyone unless he gets a title shot.
Which he does not deserve, he was out of his depth with Wlad, and is pinning his hopes on facing a fading Vitali who is actually on the verge of retirement.

Instead of fighting other heavyweights, his strategy is to try talking his way into a fight with Vitali.

Just because you refuse to fight other contenders does not catapult you into fight with Vitali.
Why doesn't Haye call out Wlad for a re-match, because he is scared just like when he hurt his toe.

both klits would make twice as much fighting haye than they would fighting any other 2 heavyweights on the same night (almost)

From where? They sellout arenas fighting anybody in Germany, and aren't on PPV, so where will their extra money come from?

setanta :S..........


yeah klitschko dont need haye at all.. esecially since wladimir beat him so easily it's not going to make them much more money than they would get anyway and haye would possibly demand a bigger cut than other klitschko opponents so i doubt taking haye on just now would be that big of a deal to the klitschkos... also it wont do anything for vitalis legacy as if he wins he will just have beaten a guy who lost easily to his younger brother and then won one fight .. :S haye hasnt done enough since losing to wlad to make the fight worthwhile

if haye wants to make the fight happen he should take on some contenders and get famous on american tv... the klitschkos would love a big fight in america i think

From Haye's massive pot.

Haye brings a massive UK fanbase. For the Wlad fight - Haye brought the PPV from the UK (where all the money is). Plus HBO from America and around 150 countries bought the fight. It was the highest watched Klitschko fight ever on German TV.

They split around £30 million quid (Klitschko's biggest ever payday by a million miles).

If Haye had had a fight or two since stopping Chisora then he may have found himself in a manditory position.

Instead he thinks he can fuck about with celebrity TV and fitness DVDs and that not getting KO'd by Wlad and holding the WBA belts now years ago make a strong enough case.

Haye being mandatory wouldn't have made a difference to this fight. He's already rated by the WBC so they'd accept Vitali-Haye over ANYTHING (bigger the fight, bigger the fees and publicity for shitty alphabet).

That ignores the fact that K2 just don't like him... They already hold all of the cards here... So now they get to make things as awkward as possible and Haye has little recourse but to either play ball or retire.
