Haye gets screwed in the contract but still takes the fight.VIDEO

[Lance Uppercut]

Getting a heavyweight title shot, without ever beating a legitimate heavyweight contender, and getting paid millions of dollars: Yea he really got screwed.

[porkypara]

I agree to a point with what has all been said but the difference between Haye and the brothers grim is that Haye has star quality where as the Klit boys are not exactly superstar material.


If Haye wins the division and boxing as a whole gets a boost.

If WK wins then its the sames as normal.(nobody giving a fuck about the HWD)

Agreed. And that is why I will be rooting for Haye. However, David Haye's fan-boys are incredibly annoying, and I dont look forward to them gloating.

[Killa From Manila]

Haye need this fight 10x more than Wlad.

[porkypara]

Haye need this fight 10x more than Wlad.

So does boxing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INDEED BRO!

This fight can only only be a good thing, I have friends that are not boxing fans at all and I'm getting asked about who Wlad is (they have no interest in the sport but they are hearing about it). Never been asked stuff like this since Hatton fought Mayweather.

It's all good and fantastic, people should just enjoy it and stop fucking moaning.

Say what you want about who's earned it etc but the fact is that people outside of hardcore boxing fans actually want to see this fight... whereas they couldn't give a fuck if Wlad thought somebody else.

Don't act like Haye has brought nothing to the table in terms of PPV sales/marketability etc.

Haye is either very confident or very stupid. Either way it will be exciting while it lasts. Haye took the short end of the contract when he fought Mormeck, in Paris, King production and judges. He pulled it off but this is way way bigger task than that.

If Haye wins it will be 2 world title won on the road!

[C.J.Rock]

Neve Ever let me see anyone critisize Bernard Hopkin for short changing Tomas Adamek when shysters like the Kilitshko's get away with contracts like this

Klitschko gets the lions share of the $$$$$$$
Kilitschko gets to choose the venue
Klitschko has the rematch clause just in case Haye wins
Klitschko also has included that should Haye win the rematch he must fight Vitaly next
These stipulations are ludicrous

Damn I wish Ike Ibeabuchi had never called that Vegas hooker. He'd have toppled both Klitshko's with ease

[rjj tszyu]

I wouldn't say he got screwed because he got a HW title shot relatively easy. BUT it does show that there is some concern from the Klits about Haye as they want so many rematches.

If it was just luck that Haye beat Wlad then surely he would only need one. To me when Haye KO's Wlad it will be a similar scene to Rocky IV when Rocky (Vitali) looks up at Drago (Haye) whilst his friend (brother Wlad) is lying motionless on the floor. 6:30 in the clip

I know Haye will clean Vlad's clock but not so sure about the other. It will all pay off for Haye in the end. I have the upmost respect for Haye now, especially because he will do what ever it takes to get that big puss(Vlad) in the ring.

I'll bet other stipulations in the contract were that Haye...

1. "Has to tie one hand behind his back"

2. " Hop on one leg for the 1st two rds"

3. " Keep both eyes closed"

4. " Is not allowed to throw any punches at Vlad's chin"

5. " Has to quit fighting if the fight goes beyond 4rds"

6. " Must allow Vlad to punch first"


LOL!! Sorry, couldn't help it.

[Kel]

Please, this is so pathetic.

All this fake anger about not being treated fairly will only make Haye look more idiotic as he's lying on his back & shaking like a flatpacks wardrobe.

Klitscho is the champion, he gets the lions share. WTF has Haye done to deserve any concessions? He should be on his knees thanking Allah that he got a title shot because he certainly hasn't earned it.

Besides, Haye got KO'd as a cruiserweight, what are people smoking to make them think even for a second that Haye stands a chance?

Is Haye a muslim?

Anyway the way I see it, Haye is very marketable, that's what he brings to the table. Wlad and his brother have totally taken advantage of Haye which is fair enough, it's business. Haye needs the Klits to make big money, it's only fair I suppose.

[Violent Demise]

What exactly is Haye bringing to the table? What are his past PPV numbers like?

[WelshDevilRob]

Well lets look at the contract he has signed that signs his next 2 fights away to the Klitschkos.

People tried to say it was Haye that was stalling and difficult in negotiations - when it would seem that it was the Klitschkos and there contract that slowed the whole thing down.

Haye contracted for potential Klitschko trilogy

If David Haye is successful in his heavyweight title challenge to Wladimir Klitschko the Londoner is likely to engage in a trilogy of fights involving both Wladimir AND his brother, Vitali.

The Klitschko brothers' German manager Bernd Boente revealed details of the contract yesterday to ESPN.com's boxing writer, Dan Rafael.

Points of interest include:

- Haye's only income for the fight (said to be ‘millions') will come from Setanta Sports' broadcast rights fee

- Klitschko will receive an agreed portion of the Setanta cash plus all the other revenue the fight generates including fees from HBO (carrying the contest live in the US), RTL (German broadcaster), any other foreign broadcasting fees, all the live gate receipts and income from sponsorship

- If Haye wins, Klitschko's promotional company, K2, will promote his next two fights

- Again, should Haye win, his next two fights will be against one of the Klitschko brothers – either a rematch with Wladimir or a match with Vitali – and should he win that one, he'll face the other brother

It looks like Haye has pulled out all the stops and very much taken the short end, including options, in order to make sure the June 20th fight happens.
