Boxing Update: Team Klitschko Goes On Record About Aborted David Haye Fights

[skel1983]

The Klitschkos are the draw....If Haye wants the lions share he needs to take the risk and set up the stadium etc in England. Wlad gave Haye the chance to do this and he realized he couldnt sell out a stadium in England and backed out of that first contract...so wlad set up the fight in germany where he knows he can sell and is the big draw...of course Haye backed out again.......

The Klitschkos get the lions share cause they are the champs, the big draws and they assume all of the promtional/stadium risk...

Valuev cant say a word cause Wlad offered him the fight before Ruslan after Haye pulled out of the first fight. Valuev didnt want the fight.

People say the Klitschkos are overrated and are weak champs but I have never seen a situation where so many fighters are afraid to fight the two top HW champs.....

Thats funny there such the bigger draw that HBO didnt want any part of the Wlad/Chagaev fight but were ready to show the Wlad/Haye fight live in ther States. So I think you will see the Kilts are not the only draw in this fight and Haye brings alot to the table alot more than 400k and 3/4 fight deal if he wins.

Of course Valuev is going to talk shit about the Klitschko's, because Wlad made him look bad by beating the crap out of Ruslan Chagaev, on short notice too! Chagaev was simply ducked by Nicolay Valuev, I still believe this Valuev-Haye fight won't happen, both guys seem to like talking more than fighting.

Well in my thread "THE David Haye Rant" I covered the whole "contract issue" in regards to David Haye....at one point in time he was more than willing to sign the contract, he was happy to do so, and then something happened, perhaps it was Setanta telling him he wasn't going to get paid by them or something, but Haye signed the contract and was happy about it at one point in time.....but now I suppose he's proven he can bankrupt a TV station and get "injured" and this makes him more marketable somehow

Trouble is the Klitschko's now control the titles. To get a shot a fighter must agree to a rematch should he win?? Ok thats fair enough BUT Should he win again then he must fight my brudder first before defending it LOL

other than haye`s power theres absoloutely no reason either guy should be beat as a pro again.

I for one will not go out my way to even bother watching either guy again going through the motions in germany until one of them gets in the ring with haye

So what? The Klitchkos are the two top heavyweights. So you are saying if someone beats Wlad they shouldnt be required to fight Vitali? Dont you want the best to fight the best? Isnt this what we all want to see? You need to think before you type.

Interesting about the PPV buys... I can understand Khan but Hatton v Pac got poor sales?

HBO didnt want the fight because Klitschko and Ruslan are not big draws in the US. Klitschko still sells out stadiums in Germany/Europe. Haye doesnt sell out stadiums anywhere.

You think Haye is a big draw? Is HBO picking up Valuev/Haye? ESPN will probably not even pick up Valuev/Haye.....

Every boxing website I have looked on the writers have trashed Haye, talking about how he has made himself look like a fool dodging the Klitchkos. Even the Ring has trashed Haye for taking on Valuev and the Ring is owned by promoters who have an interest in Haye....Now that is beyond pathetic.

SO WHY DID HBO WANT THE WLAD V HAYE FIGHT??

So like i said in my previous post which you just seemed to bypass Haye was one of the main reasons HBO were on board for the Wlad/Haye fight and as soon as Haye pulled out so did HBO. Haye like i said before brings alot more to the table than 400k pay cheque with the evidence being HBO wanted the fight when he was involved but when he wasnt they didnt, is that to hard for you to understand

[El Kabong]

SO WHY DID HBO WANT THE WLAD V HAYE FIGHT??

Because Haye is a good heel and maybe more people think he would piss Wlad off or the fans would like to see Haye get KO'd in a horrific manner......OR there is a group of people that would like the heavyweight champion to be a loudmouthed brat who talks more than fights.

I'd rather see Haye savaged in the ring and his career ended at the hands of Wladimir Klitschko.
