Interview from fight news:
When we were talking about another possibility for 2011, David Haye bout with HBO's Max Kellerman, you suggested that maybe you should be at least twice on the floor versus Maddalone for Hayemaker to fight you.
Adamek: "Two could be not enough. Maybe three."
Did you see the Haye-Harrison fight?
Adamek: "What fight? Just the first round. After three minutes I knew what was going on and didn’t want to waste my time. It had nothing to do with boxing, even less with championship boxing. It's a shame because we will kill boxing this way; people will start to think that this is normal. It's not."
As a boxer, are you for withholding purses when something like this happens?
Adamek: "Very delicate subject because there is a very thin line between not being able to fight and not wanting to fight. If you do something very blatant, very obvious, just show up to pick up a check, why not? Our fans are paying hard earn money to see us giving everything we have. We owe them our best even when we lose. We need to show our best effort."
