David Haye: I am with the board's consensus!

[El Kabong]

Even if Haye were to come back, who would negotiate with him knowing his record of pulling out of fights?

The key is to always have a Plan B if the fight doesn't go through....difficult for most fighters to do, but given Haye's history it is a must. Set a firm time limit and have a fallback plan, that's the only way to make it happen.

Impossible!

Most people buy tickets based on the certain fighters that are facing each other.

If Fury had managed to pull in Wilder as the replacement last year when Haye pulled out the first time. It would have been a good match against an unbeaten american but its the banter between the two fighters building up to the event that has sold the tickets. Most of the ticket buyers would have never heard of Wilder and would be pissed off and ask for their money back and how many would buy tickets if the small print said that they retain the right to change the opponent a week before the event?

Which would support my theory that a lot of British boxing fans are idiots...but anyway you were saying that Fury vs Abell was a better match than Fury vs Wilder
