Haye laughs off Skelton offer!

Sunday, June 1 2008

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."

Nice dig at Frank and his bogus match ups.

Maskaev is 40 and completely shot, the Ring rankings are idiotic sometimes.

Maybe Oleg just wants a final payday to retire on.

Maskaev is old and washed up and 40 and coming off a loss though too?

Out of curiosity, what kind of money did Haye make his whole career, how much did he make vs. Maccarinelli, and how much is he getting if he fights Maskaev?

1.2 million for a fight against a fellow British HW, one that was recently ranked by the WBA - I'd take it...

Skelton's 40, completely shot, not even ranked in the ring top 10, and hasn't had better wins/achievement than Maskaev.

Atleast maskaev is top 10, skelton hardly makes top 25.

Warren wants to put Haye into that musical chair game between the Brit HW's, and Haye aint going for it. Let Skelton, Williams and Sprott go at it all day, if they want.

Skelton is an awquard **** though, it'd be a good intro fight for him.
He needs to prove himself at HW first.
