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.
