Haye v Klit - Negotiations underway confirms IBF

[ono]

wouldn't get my hopes up, Haye will find a way to bitch out again

I take it you'd fight a Klitschko for free?

"Bitch out" ?

He pulled out because he wasn't going to get paid.

This'll happen 100%

shouldn't of faked a back injury and use that as his excuse now should he?

well i'm not the one walking around talking shit and throwing out golden lines like "i'd fight him (Wlad) for free", as i said over and over, if Haye was a big as a name in the UK he shouldn't have had a problem making sales and getting paid

This is great news, hopefully it all comes together. Haye is a polarizing figure, but like him or not he has brought a ton of excitement and interest back to the Heavyweight division, something that has been lacking for years.

Like someone has posted, I'm not getting my hopes up till it's all signed up but this to me just confirms that Haye isn't scared about fighting either brother.

Anyone with half a brain cell knows the circumstances as to why Haye backed out of the fights with the brothers. He didn't feel he was getting a fair deal at the negotiating table (rightly or wrongly) so he fought Valuev to get the only belt that the Klitchko's didn't have and one they desperately wanted. After that he had to fight Ruiz as he stepped aside for Haye to fight Valuev with Ruiz fighting the winner. What's so difficult to understand?

There was a thread on here about a week ago about Haye taking a rest and all the haters jumped on the bandwagon saying he's a pussy and he'll never fight a Klitchko. I think a lot of those people will actually end up looking stupid because I'm 100% convinced he'll fight a Klitchko and he'll end up fighting them pretty soon. All he ever wanted from the start was to not be taken the piss out of. David felt their demands were unreasonable but to be honest they were the HW champs and he was a nobody in the HW division so they had every right to demand what they wanted. Now David's a 2 weight world champion and also has a version of the HW belt lets make this a 50-50 split. If Wlad or Vitali are that confident of beating Haye I'm sure they won't mind losing 10% of the purse to fight him.

Good stuff...I wanna see Haye vs Wladimir.

Fair enough people are asking how will Haye handle a big puncher and a boxer like Wladimir but a question should also be asked of Wlad

How will Wlad handle finally fighting a heavyweight boxer who is in GOOD SHAPE and not a blown up cruiser or a past-prime heavyweight?

Lot's of questions to be answered and I don't think he answered it when he fought Ibragimov

Absolutely spot on Chris

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Way to many Haye haters out there. I am not a huge Haye fan but he has the tools and the charisma. I'm rooting for him, to be honest. I think there's a really good chance he fights one of them and I think it'd be great for the division. I'd kind of be gutted if the fights were to never take place because there's nobody close to Wlad/Vitali's level in the division and I think Haye'd make a good go of it.

I don't think you're getting it. Setanta was the source of income for this fight for Haye. He wasn't getting much if anything from the gate receipts or anything from any other tv broadcast. Only Setanta, because that's the deal the Klitschko's team put on the table.

Given he still has to pay training expenses etc, unless he was going to stand outside the stadium in Schalke selling t-shirts, he wasn't going to get paid for the fight. It doesn't matter how popular he is, because the only company that were really paying him went bankrupt.

So, please explain to me where he could 'make sales and get paid?'

I dont think that is the question really. Now it is probably not a good idea for Haye to fight a Klit for free, and if that was going to happen then fine. Dont make up shit about being injured tho, just say the deal fell thru and u werent getting paid. No matter how u spin it Haye has had contracts with both Klits and hasn't managed to fight either yet.

It is ridiculous to ask El Terrible if he would fight Klit for free, because he is not a world class boxer/athlete like Haye is. El Terrible has also not told the media he would beat the Klits easily, and that he would fight them for free as Haye has done in the past.

I believe Haye is as good a chance as anyone to beat the Klits but i cant see him doing it.

He wouldn't have legally been allowed to disclose information about Setanta at the time, hence the fake injury.

Why does he have to? If he confirms he was lying, people are going to be skeptical if he has to pull out of another fight.

Plus it matters little anyway. He went away, travelled to Germany to pick up a belt. Defended it in an exciting fight in a sold out, 20,000 capacity arena. Now he has more power at the negotiating table, and negotiations are under way for the fight. I don't see what he's got to aplogise for.

Does it really fucking matter??

We have a potential superfight in the HW division set to be signed in the next month and your bitching about little details that happened last year.

Haye is on board with Sky now and is the biggest named sports star in Britain at the minute, he has absolutley nothing to pull out for again and the fight WILL go ahead this time as long as the Klits don't demand 12 fucking rematches.

Why not whine about them circumstances instead of Hayes faults for once?? I've never heard anything like it..... "If you (haye) beat Wlad you must then fight his brother and then fight Wlad and then fight Vitali again". If that had happened none of them would have held a title by the end of it. It was pathetic.
