Bernd Boente: We offered Haye a 50-50 deal with no options

[The Hammer]

From Dan Rafael:

• It looks more and more likely that heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko will next face mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin instead of David Haye in a unification bout, Klitschko manager Bernd Boente told ESPN.com. Klitschko, as well as fellow titleholder and brother Vitali Klitschko, wants to fight Haye, who has trash-talked both of them for ages. Boente said they offered Haye a 50-50 deal to fight Wladimir in the fall without asking for options on any future Haye bouts. That is a major improvement over past offers, which included less than 50-50 and multiple options. Boente said the latest offer proves how much Klitschko wants to get Haye into the ring. "But we do not hear anything back from Haye or [manager] Adam Booth. All of a sudden Haye is very quiet now after doing all of that talking about fighting," Boente said. He said if they can't close a deal with Haye, Klitschko will face Povetkin whether they can negotiate terms or go to a purse bid.

I am far from a Klit fan, but those dudes have Haye scared ****less. I used to like Haye and supported him in fighting the big bros. but his true colors showed, and hes nothing but a coward, i hope a bum knocks him out so he can retire and **** off.

There is now no doubt.

It's Haye's faithful fans he's disappointed the most. Wlad doesn't really need him, there's a dozen HW like Adamek, Solis, Tua, Peter, and hopefully Povetkin who will step up.
