David Haye interview.

[CFH]

Does anyone know what "conditions" the Klitschkos put in all their fights?

I don't really know what he means? A mandatory rematch is fair enough for a champ.

I can understand him not wanting a career defining fight right now, I really can. His career is the best it's ever been (publicity and money wise). Why risk ruining it?

But the problem is he has talked his way there. Now it's time to put up and do what you've said you will.

The sad thing is, only the hardcore fans will turn off him because if ducking this fight. The casual fans, the ones that really make him the money, won't have even noticed and would be happy to see him fight Audley.

If Audley does manage to beat him, you can bet he'll fight the K brothers within 6 months. The guy just doesn't realise how bad he is.

I've no doubt the fight will happen, much like the PBF vs Pac fight, they want to cash in now before they have a fight that could end their career. The K's are keen, not just for the money or a chance to proove themselves, but because of where their career is now.

Yeah the first time he sat down (can't remember which Klit) the terms were (iirc) as follows

Rematch it Haye wins
Fight with the other Klit if Haye wins the rematch
Fight at the Veltins Arena in Germany
Only money Haye makes is from the UK TV deal (which fell through and Haye pulled out with a back injury).

It isn't all Haye's fault it hasn't happend. Can't even blame him for taking on Audley. It'll sell over here and it will make more money than probably any other non-Klit fight.

I'd personally like to see him fight Adamek, but he won't. He won't take risks until he fights the Klits, and you can't blame him, because the money from those fights will take care of him for the rest of his life. I would laugh if A-Force beat him though. Not because i dislike Haye. Simply because every fucker and his dog has laughed at Harrison for banging on about being a World Champion. It would be quality if he did it.

The first offer was bullshit, but Wlad apparently offered him a 50/50 revenue split and no contract options on the second offer and Haye still refused. That, IMO, is unacceptable with all the shit he talked. Haye's a good businessman, but that's about the most positive thing I can say about him.

That's very interesting on the 50/50 split and he still refused.


Anyway I thought Haye was fighting Evander Holyfield. What happened to that fight?

....i was present for this interview, and the guy transcribed most of this stuff wrong. What haye actually said was.......blah blah blah blah blah, and he really wanted to let everyone know blah blah blah blah blah. And as far as the klits and the rest of the heavyweights all he had to say was blah blah blah blah and ended with blah. This interviewer got it close though. Just wanted to point out some small mistakes.

Mar, you crack me up. I keep trying to add to your rep, but it says I gotta give it to some other shitheads first.

I have to thank you for being such a gifted translator. I was beginning to think that this article had some substance to it! WHAT A FOOL, I was!!!

David Haye has all eyes on him. What more could he ask for.

[rjj tszyu]

I really am hoping that it is not Harrison. It would be a real step backwards for Haye. I was kind of hoping he was holding out to see if Adamek beat Grant then (if he did) took him on in november then after that fought both Klits next year starting with Vitali who I think he would beat now as I've watched both Vitali's last 2 fights and in both it was hard to believe that it was the same man that caused Lennox all those problems. I feel Vitali is ready for the taking and I think Haye can take Wlad too.

I'm not sure he'd beat Wlad, but I think he has a very good chance of beating Vitali. He'd probably beat Adamek too, but that would be a fun fight to watch.

[El Kabong]

Holyfield is scheduled to fight Sherman Williams November 5th

Looks like it will be Audley Harrison (or at least NOT Holyfield) unless we are to wait until the summer for a fight, I wouldn't be shocked either way though.

CFH I don't get your view of the situation....NO WAY does Wlad lose to this punk, Vitali may be older and a little slower than he used to be but he's still effective enough to beat anyone (other than Wlad), and as for Adamek, I think he's already proven more at heavyweight than the current WBA title holder...that's a HUGE risk to take when it's The Klitschko's that are the big money fights.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

i used to have a;ot of time for haye buts he's turned into a trash talking coward.......he's twice pulled out of signed fights with the klits.......and now audley? haye said he's only goner fight top guys..audley??.....he's doing the mayweather tactic, waiting for one of the klits to get clocked then he'll fight them....audley........i mean vitalis nearly 40 so hes due to be passed it anytime soon........you just go fight that world class idiot audley david to see which one of you will unify the world idiot title

[DaxxKahn]

Thats one of the best Haye interviews I have read...He was not going out of his way to be obnoxious or talking about how great he is or cursing while talking about his opp...Or the usual Haye "I am going to kick his ass" etc....The reasons why I have turned my back as a Haye fan....I was a Haye fan a while back but then his whole attitude just went south in the class department.....As a fighter I like the guy but I just don't like to follow or support fighters who show no class personally

Haye is the man in the division everyone want's to fight. Therefore he is the man. It's simple.

[El Kabong]

Haye is the man in the division everyone want's to fight. Therefore he is the man. It's simple.

Wlad has the belts, Wlad has beaten the best, Chicken Little is nothing more than a commentator at this point. Yes everyone wants to fight him because he has run his mouth for nigh on 4 years about what he'd do as a heavyweight and what has he done? He's pulled out of fights vs the very people he said he'd be more than willing to fight to bring excitement back to the division and he's picked off: Monte Barrett, Nicolay Valuev, and John Ruiz, and rumor has it he's going to fight Audley Harrison or perhaps James Toney next.

People don't want to fight that cat because he's "the best" they want to fight him to shut that fucking mouth of his, but the issue with that is that Chicken Little who has been running his mouth is now AVOIDING The Klitschko's....in my part of the world if you say "I can kick your ass" and are given the opportunity to prove it you had best at least ATTEMPT to do it. Chicken Little has no back bone, he is a yellow rat bastard of a coward and it is a shame he even has a title.

All irrelevant. Haye is the man everyone in the division wants to fight.

klitschos need to stop the silly clauses in the contracts and get the pay day they're not going to get with anyone else.

Yeah...as I stated before people want to fight him because he calls out both Klitschko brothers, backs out of fights with both of them and then he goes out and fights Monte Barrett and thinks he's beaten someone worth a damn and that proves that all the bullshit he's spouted off is true. People want to fight this guy to shut him up, making money doing it is just extra incentive.

The Klitschko's offered 50/50 down the middle and yet we have no fight....If the WBA title holder wanted rematch clauses, I'm sure Wlad would be more than willing to oblige...I'm sure he'd LOVE the chance to beat Chicken Little down 2 or more times....if you are truly "The Best" then you don't care how many rematches there are.

And Riddle me this buddy, if the Klitschko fight is Chicken Little's biggest pay day out there, then why not have a go for a few rematches? Why if it's so easy to beat Wladimir and if he's wanting big money then why not have that fight multiple times?

And what is your part of the world Lyle? Ukraine? Germany? No! Fucking Texas unless I'm mistaken. You have one of the all time great HW's in Big George and you'd rather talk shit none fucking stop about 2 fucking boring shit retards from the opposite side of the world to you, and then you bring up your part of the world? Bullshit is what springs to my mind!
