Haye laughs off Skelton offer!
Cruiserweight/heavyweight sensation David 'The Hayemaker' Haye (21-1, 20 KOs) has reacted with to promoter Frank Warren's $1.2 million offer to face Matt Skelton. "The timing of the offer was priceless," said Haye, the former WBC/WBA/WBO unified cruiserweight champion. "As Hayemaker Promotions are announcing their ethos and plans to break trends in boxing - to put on exciting, competitive and meaningful contests – Frank Warren's Sports Network offer me a fight with a washed-up 40-year-old coming off a defeat with nowhere else to go. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the irony in that. That aside, the offer was a derisory one anyway. We thank him for the offer, but I now know what I'm worth and can guarantee I'll make at least double Warren's figure in my next fight." Haye's next outing will take place at London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena towards the end of the year. "It will be an exciting fight against a dangerous, top 10-ranked heavyweight," Haye promised. "Taking that into account, if you've seen Matt Skelton fight, you'll know it won't be him."

That report misses that Haye gives it to Warren bigtime...

“Frank Warren...reminds me of the young girls that used to follow me around in nightclubs – only with beadier eyes, redder cheeks and deeper pockets. He should stop throwing me handouts and either donate the money to a more worthwhile charity. Hayemaker Promotions will do just fine without him. We thank Frank for Maccarinelli, but we'd feel immense guilt if we took any more free money from Sports Network. I have a hard enough time sleeping at night as it is.

“I'd rather retire from boxing than work with Sports Network again.”

“Frankly, even if Skelton was ranked, I wouldn't choose to fight him. It's not the sort of fight we're looking to put on at Hayemaker Promotions. Firstly, Skelton's coming off a defeat. Secondly, as determined as he is, Skelton's the most boring heavyweight in the world. Thirdly, his most dangerous punch combination is the double-grab, right hug.

I'd rather retire than work with Warren, says Haye

Haye has managed the impossible. He's made me root for Frank Warren!


PLEASE someone knock him the fuck out and retire him from boxing in his next fight.

I hate everything about him and look forward to him suffering an early and humiliating defeat anytime soon.

Fuck David Haye

[OumaFan]

I like Haye, I get why people don't like him, the obnoxiousness and all that but he makes good fights, he's exciting, and some of that was reasonably funny. Plus Bilbo seems to dislike him.

And with all the junk at heavyweight....

Ain't that kind of what he's doing to Wladimir Klitschko

These comments by Haye actually make me like him a little bit.

Exactly.

Haye is a boxing fans dream (dream being a bit OTT - i know i know ).

I think Bilbo and his ilk only dislike Haye because they envy him (the non boxing side). Say it ain't so

[CutMeMick]

Fucken brilliant Haye!!!

[hackey]

that is pretty funny to say the least. Warren is a class A asshole lol.

[Spicoli]

That is pretty good no doubt.....Maybe after his beard/stamina inevitably let him down at the highest levels,he can go into Stand up

[toogood4u]

ANYBODY WHO SLAGS OFF WARREN IS OK WITH ME.

[Majesty]

haye hasn't proved squat at heavyweight and he is acting as if he is already top 10?

His ego is priceless and he deserves to be knocked off his cloud.

It would be fine if he was just slagging off Warren..its another thing to use it to boost your own ego at a weight class you've yet to prove crap at.

He knows his worth at Cruiserweight! He hasnt proven anything at heavyweight, but if he wants to step in with a top fighter at heavyweight up there more power to him, but when he gets knocked out i'll love to see him try and come back from this trash he is talking.

Why are you criticizing him for fighting a top 10 heavyweight and not Matt Skelton? Matt Skelton hasn't done much more in the way of world titles then Haye has.
