Frank Warren - "Haye pulled out due to money"

[The Fightfan]

I find this amusing. So he wasn't going to get paid heh? How much did Buster Douglas get paid for the Tyson fight? When he beat Mike he then had a 25 million dollar payday for the fight with Holyfield. So why not fight Wlad for peanuts if he is so sure he would beat Wlad. Fight Vitali in his next bout for a heavyweight championship and make 6 times as much as what he made against Wlad. I would like to know what was Haye going to get for his fight with Wlad? I find it amusing didn't Sander's fight Wlad for $25,000.

Ok so when you go to work today and make $20 an hour, your boss pulls you aside and says FIGHTFAN, we are having some problems here at work were going to have to ask you to work for free this week buddy.

So Fightfan are you going to put in a 40 hour workweek for nothing or are you going to develop a cough all of a sudden? Dont answer I'll mail you out some cough drops.

Douglas and Tyson was not a mega event of this magnitude. Wlad couldnt draw 61k people on his own. It was Haye and his fanfare. Also Haye already bit the bullet fighting Wlad, since it was reported by many sources that Haye's cut was an insult not to mention Haye was getting nothing from the arena gate or German TV.

Can you blame the guy for wavering when his last bastian of income in this fight wasnt going to pay him. Gimme a break already

All those advocating he fight for free, who was going to pay the promoter, manager and trainer then?

Right, but you forgot to mention if my boss came to me and said hey work for free this week. I'll pay 3 or even 4 times as much next week. You bet your ass I would work this week for free.

I also do remember Wlad vs Chagev drew 60,000 people. Not Haye and Wlad sure those ticket's were for that fight but why the hell would they still show up and not get a refund in which they were entitled too?

The point is you need motivation when you fight, sure of course beating Wladimir Klitschko and getting the belt is motivational. But not getting paid for it ? im sorry but i wouldn't either, all that training and getting up early. Yet i don't get paid a dime ? no way in hell, im not saying its Wladimir Klitschko's fault, but come on bro.

LOL how is that even comparable, you're guaranteed extra money for the next week, if Haye loses then he fought for free and got nothing.

This is insane, if you think he pussed out that's one thing but no elite boxer is going to fight for free. If you told an elite professional boxer that you thought Haye should fight for free he would laugh in your face, Wlad would laugh in your face. That's not how it works, this whole idea is absolutely laughable.
