Klitschko to either fight Chagaev on 6/20 or Haye on 7/11

[OumaFan]

That's a fair point but would he have come out of the whole thing the same if he appeared (to many fans) as finding a way out of fighting Floyd after the fight had been signed?

I just don't see how this has been good for Haye. Sure he's gotten his name out there but I don't know if in this case all publicity is good publicity. Look I don't really know casual fans but if you take saddoboxing as representative of the boxing community as a whole (which it isn't I know) Haye has come out of this for the majority of people as a loud mouth chicken shit. It just seems to me that going to great lengths to appear to want a fight with Klitschko in order to get your name out there while at the same time hoping that he really doesn't take it, and if he does take it then to fake your way out of it seems a bit of a risky plan.

And I'm still not convinced this will help his earnings that much. Say he would have never have done this, he could have still drawn crowds in England versus the Kevin Johnsons of the world, just an example. Is he gonna make that much traveling to Germany to fight Alexander Dimitrenko, whoever that is? He can make some money against the various heavyweight plodders but I don't think its huge money and he could have always drawn crowds in England anyway. The only serious money fight I see outside of the Klits is maybe if HBO thought it would be a big deal to get him to come to America and fight Arreola. Otherwise he needs the Klits for a big purse.
