When you talked as much smack as Haye about how it was going to be easy picking KO'ing Wlad and this was going to be the easiest fight of your career and being totally disrespectful for Wlad (the recognized number 1 heavyweight) and what he has done he CANT pull out of the fight without looking like a total BONEHEAD!!!
If you want to talk about money lets see: Lets say Haye would have fought Wlad for free this fight and KO'd Klit (a given in Haye's mind). He would have made more money in his next two fights than he will now fighting five fights. Without Wlad and his recognized number one ranking Haye is nobody. Now Haye has to take a HUGE risk and fight some contenders like Arreola for small money to work his way up to Klit (and risk a loss). In my mind Haye made a huge financial mistake if that is the reason he pulled out.
Wlad is a true champ, willing to fight anyone and everyone. Haye goes down with the chicken pox so Wlad lines up a fighter with a totally different style, ranked in the top ten and says - Lets do it....Wlad may not have the most exciting style but the guy will fight anyone and everyone......
