Shall we talk about David Haye and Tony Bellew NOT fighting each other?

[erics44]

Itll happen

bit of tension starting already

get the fans on board, is it isn't it

i'm looking forward to it

Haye's had his day, his poxy ankle has given him a get-out clause in a fight where he looked shocking. Embarrassing. There's nobody I have any interest in seeing him fight.

And Bellew is a lucky bastard too. He's "world" champion in a division full of killers, there's half-a-dozen cruiserweights that would give him their left nut to get shot at his belt and the payday he provides in the UK, yet is now a "heavyweight" so can conveniently justify swerving everyone.

That's a shame because there is a genuine intrigue there with how that last fight unfolded. Was it the injury or was Haye shot? Or was Bellew Superman? I would be interested in seeing it again. What kind of gayness is it to care about who enters the ring first? You are getting paid, so just do the work and get on with it. What's the problem there?

This is Eddie just hyping up the fight and the early days of negotiation where both boxers are being divas.

Bellew has no where to go other than Haye, he will pretend he can fight other heavyweight but he would not get as much money and would probably lose. Bellew was ready to retire after the Haye fight but hit the jackpot. Bellew could retire but he needs Haye more that Haye needs Bellew.

Haye does have more options but his days at the top are gone but the division is easier pickings other than AJ and Wilder who would be too big for him.

David Haye could target the WBO belt if he wants but I think he will want to avenge the loss because that was embarrassing.

I do not care if they fight or not, my preference is they do not, Bellew retires and Haye loses his next fight and retires himself.

Don't forget that he is also emeritus champion at CW

[Fenster]

Oh they took his WBC belt, thought he still had it. He wont be coming back to cruiserweight anyway, there's more chance of him beating Wilder/Parker than the current crop of top cruisers, and most importantly (to him/boxers) double the dough on offer

These two are irrelevant and this rematch is really irrelevant
Bellew could fight Parker or Wilder but he's just looking for the money
He's going to milk that victory for as long as possible.
