Wlad Hits Haye With More Demands

Wlad Hits Haye With More Demands WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO has hit David Haye with a shedload of demands on top of insisting every penny from a showdown is split evenly. The IBF and WBO world heavyweight champion is also demanding a German doctor in his corner; that his name goes first on all advertising; and that Haye enters the ring first as he only holds the WBA title. A Haye insider said: "David is bending over backwards to ensure this fight happens in England as soon as possible. "But now all these other demands are coming in and it makes you wonder what kind of game the Klitschko camp are trying to play. "David doesn't have a problem with any of those requests, but progress on getting anywhere with actual fight contracts is very slow indeed. "Does Klitschko want this fight? That is something only they can answer but no one can accuse David of not doing everything in his power to make it happen." Haye will not flinch from his planned retirement date of October this year when he turns 31, and he wants to go out as undisputed world heavyweight champion by taking on WBC champion Vitali as well before that deadline.

Wlad Hits Haye With More Demands Wladimir is the lineal champion. These demands, made by an implacable enemy cultivated by haye's idiocy make a lot of sense. These are called 'mind games' and Wlad has every right to make these demands. haye is most certainly NOT 'bending over backwards' to do anything. In Wladimir's position I would do everything in my power to marginalize haye in this meeting. Some call it smart business, but haye's provocative execrations have earned him the well deserved contempt from the Klitschkos and the world.

60 to 80 K Germans fans is more money. They could maybe reach 40-50K in the UK, but that would be hard. Give it enough time, it would be huge though. The German doctor, why does he have to be German? Hatton fought Lazcano in front of 55,000. Haye vs Klit could beat that comfortably if held in London and tickets were priced reasonably.

Apparently Wlad demanded that Chisora would have to fall over in the 6th round and quit, but Del was to much of a man to accept and Wlad pulled out.

What makes you think there will be that many fans in germany? I would say there will be a bigger crowd in England then in germany. You really think Wladimar would come to a hostile place in England? I never see it happening.

Which British tabloid is this from? The spin is incredible. These arent even "demands".

Yeah they were originally talking about schalke stadium and around 50k in germany, they could do 50k easy in wembley or emirates. I don't mind if its not in the UK though cos it'l be a boring fight and the german fans are more patient so they won't start booing.

Never mind hitting him with new demands, i can't wait 'til he hits him with a big right hand. Haha, me too. What's wrong with those demands? Wlad is the HW champion, it's only natural.

I think the advertising is very unreasonable. It should be different in the UK to Germany and Ukraine to reflect each fighter's popularity. I don't even get why that's a big issue for them (providing it actually is, as boxing journalism is so poor it's difficult to know what's true anymore). But yes, everything else seems fine. I think coming in first is better anyway. Helps him sell the 'underdog' thing like with Valuev, and build up just how a big an opponent Wlad is for all the new boxing fans that have jumped on his bandwagon and aren't clued up. I do agree with this mate but how would this be accomplished since both SKY & RTL will receive the same feed?

If the fight gets made i will def be going anyone know what the ticket prices would be? and do they have an idea of when they want it to go down? possibly may?

Asking for a doctor? And as the ring and regarded true HW champion to come in second and that the fight take place in a 60/80 thousand seat german stadium rather than a 20,000 UK one is 'unreasonable' demands? Lets be serious here chaps. Wembley is 90,000. Anyway Haye should be top of the UK advertising Wlad Germany etc, and i am sure Haye doesnt care if he comes out first he did the same at the Enzo fight. Just get it signed we dont really care about this sort of thing.

I don't think there is anything over the top with those demands, apart from the doctor, which is quite a strange request. The advertising as well, in the UK Haye should be allowed to have his name first on the advertising. The klitschko's strike me as very petty...oh well lets just hope it happens.
