" David "Haye is not considering any opponents right now, he needs rest"

[Violent Demise]

Wlad can't make a fight that anyone cares about apart from Haye. That's the problem.

No but he can stay active and be the champ defending his throne, Haye will still be there in a year with the same payday.

In the meantime, there's Povetkin or even Valuev which would be a comparison match.

Wlad sells a lot of tickets at home, he sold out his last fight (51.5k) so it's not like he's going to be out a payday.

I think it weakens his negotiating position to sit around and wait for Haye.

For sure Wlad can fight anyone in Germany and sell shit loads. But the only heavyweight fight that means anything is Haye.

HBO don't show Wlad's fights anymore, right?

The champ is chasing the challenger. Sad but true.

And they have yet to show any Haye fights correct? HBO could buy Haye fights if it wanted. It hasn't. HBO doesn't buy into the hype that Haye is all that big like he's made out to be
