Now everyone knows I loathe David Haye but even I can't criticise what he has done.
I'm not sure how much he stood to lose because of the Setanta collapse but let's just say a million, as it would likely have been at least that, and probably more.
A fight with Wlad or Vitali is David's D Day, his make or break, career defining fight.
It's his biggest payday, the most significant and importatant life changing event in his boxing career.
To take the fight for no money would be absolute fucking lunacy, nobody in the world no matter what career they were in would take part in their biggest money earner for no money, it's just retarded to criticise that.
Can you imagine Britney Spears or Take That agreeing to not get paid for their huge combeack tours that have propelled them back into the limelight, or Bill Gates for taking no money from his greatest ever selling product? How about an top actor agreeing not to get paid for their biggest ever box office breaking film role?
It's precisely these massive successes that give them the mass fortunes that crown their careers and David, or anyone else would have to be an absolute mug to agree to take part in their biggest moment, and biggest earner for no money.
As for pulling out of a Vitali fight, again it made perfect sense for him. Was it courteous? No. Does David care, or is he even in the business of being courteous towards the Klits, and vice versa, again hell no, so he did what was right for him and fuck what those milky, gangly robots felt about it.
If Haye wasn't so charismatic, buff and popular with the ladies, I'd like him.

haha very true. And yet Frochy's girl is fucking hot! But she's clearly with him for the money and the glory, and I can respect that.
Reminds me of a joke Jimmy Carr said.
'Someone came up to me last week and said 'your girl is only with you because your famous', I said 'So? I AM famous!'.![]()

This is your thread. You posted that article. Maybe you should read it again. It clearly says "Haye was to receive most of his purse from Setanta". Most. Not all. So how the fukk was he fighting for free? According to Haye, Wlad goes out in 3. So why pull out? Your getting some money for an easy ass fight. The rematch or a fight with Vitali would of more than made up for it. Haye pulled out for one reason and one reason only. Fear

Is it me or does it seem like the point of that article was to get Wlad to apologize to Valuev? Kind of bizarre really considering Haye has said things 10 times more viscous to all sorts of people and Hauser isn't calling for him to apologize.
Also I do find it funny that he's writing for the Ring given as much column space he dedicates to bashing GBP and HBO.

Faking an injury was the only way out of that fight without breaching the contract.
He would be an idiot if he didn't fake an injury, and would have lost tons of money in the subsequent breach of contract suit.
bottom line is that he was not getting paid, or getting paid next to nothing on a fight in which he was cashing his career in on.
Give the guy a break.

Can't give a guy a break for pulling out of a fight that in his own words "wouldn't go past 3". A lot of fighters take little money for the oppertunity to become champions. Haye might not of been getting what he orginally thought. But he was getting paid. No excuse for him not taking the Golden oppertunity he so richly claims to have wanted.
