It's unlikely the Setanta business played any part in the fight being cancelled. Once the fight contract is drawn up the TV companies put their payments into an escrow account which holds the money till the fight takes place, then it gets released to the promotion. If the fight doesn't take place the TV companies get their money back. This contract may be different but I don't think so, Setanta would have paid up long before now.
Ah, it looks like Klitschko is using Haye's injury to bottle out of fighting him. It looks like we're in for for another exciting Ibragimov-style fight.
BBC SPORT | Boxing | Haye no longer Klitschko priority
wow...lol....what a GREAT line up to choose from...lol
Kevin Johnson
Brian Minto
Michael Grant
The Heavyweights r a bunch of JOKERS at the moment...come on GUYS get REAL......lol
I may ban myself from watching any more Heavyweight fights until somebody somewhere gets real and Unifies the titles......this is desgraceful...YES I am NOT watching ANY MORE Heavyweights from NOW on....im on a PROTEST
He's ready to fight somebody else after bottling the only real challenge he's faced for years. The first time sice he's been champion that he doesn't have to pay people to watch him fight and he's dodging out of the fight the first chance he gets.
You slagging off Haye all the time is just to try and hide the fact you really love him. You were the same with Calzaghe. You're the number one David Haye-supporting pretend gangster in California.
Brian Minto LOL!!!
BRIAN MINTO LOL!!!!!![]()
My bad. So Wlad is the one who pulled out, after running his mouth non-stop. I wasn't aware of that.
Seriously you can just feel the pain your posts. It's amazing how much this is eating at you guys. Haye has you guys eating out of his hand. You believe everything he tells you.
#1 It was CORRIE and not Corey believe it or not there is a HUGE difference.
#2 If he was preparing to fight "The best challenger" nay, "the best FIGHTER in the heavyweight division" then wouldn't fighting anyone else be easy for him![]()
I am not hating on David Haye, I'm not hating on his fans...but really had Wlad pulled out there would be much more shit talking "Oooh he's scared" blah blah blah. Wladimir had class enough to accept Haye's pull out of the fight for what it is an "injury" it really doesn't matter about the reality of Haye's injury but the result can be great for boxing.
Tell me which you would rather see
#1 A Heavyweight Champion fights a guy who moves up from cruiserweight without much heavyweight experience.
OR
#2 A Heavyweight Champion fights a guy who has moved up in weight but has proven himself vs very capable heavyweights and has earned a title shot.
....option #2 is best for Wlad, Haye, the sport of boxing, and the fans of boxing, it's win all around. Sure Haye could slip up but if he's all that and a bag of chips like his fans profess that he is, if he's the true "savior" of the heavyweight division then he'll surely pass whatever tests any of the aforementioned sorry heavyweights could throw at him...so why not build the fight up? Why not have a REAL rivalry instead of this one that Haye has manufactured? Why not let Haye become a REAL threat before Wlad cashes him out of the gameWell it's rather simple, neither Haye nor his fans think that Haye is a well rounded boxer, they don't think he's perfect, they don't think he's unbeatable, and they don't think he has anything more than a puncher's chance...infact the Haye fans KNOW he's vulnerable, they KNOW he's got flaws in his game, and they KNOW he's in real danger vs Wladimir Klitschko....but they are stuck on that puncher's chance, just as they were with Henry Cooper vs Ali or Frank Bruno vs Tyson.
Haye needs to be a real contender and not just pretend to be one on TV...he needs to earn a shot like Holyfield did before him. Holyfield fought a couple of bums and then a couple of dangerous fighters before he got to Tyson and look at how good he turned out to be.
I wonder when Tyson Fury will step up....he does have more wins at heavyweight than David Haye![]()
As I posted in another thread... I vote Valuev. Let Klitschko fight the 7-foot circus freak and expose him for the poor excuse of a prize fighter he is. After 1 or 2 feeling out rounds, Vlad will KTFO the freak. (Note of caution: I would either add a strand of rope to make them higher, or replace the ringside seats with padded flooring, for when the giant goes toppling over.

To be fair though haye has said that he wants to postpone the fight, not cancel it... Wlad is the one looking for other opponents.
I'm sure of course that Haye is lying though...
There you go jumping to conclusions again...Make sure it's just words you want to put into Haye's mouth and nothing else...

Pretty much, rarely do guys move up to heavyweight and do anything special.
