Klitschko vs. Haye: Booth Slams Rumors of Trouble

So the HW division needs a good explosive, well marketed, pair of powerful guys, and bit of excitement, yet who cares if it doesn't happen, seems to be the attitude.
Sounds like Haye's side have pandered to every demand, some of them ridiculous already. What's with all the extensive re match clauses? Isn't Wlad confident, does he always have such harsh re match clauses? I don't believe so. So why here in a fight he's said he really wants?
David won't make loads on this fight, and is willing to fight where ever despite Wlad saying he himself wanted it in the UK. Both brothers have said they will fight Haye in 09, and so far it's like getting blood out of a stone for one in the ring.
Wlad says he wants Haye in 09, in London, it's a big fight, good for the sport, yet even with any location of his choice, and more money than Arreola, oddly it's not happening yet. Strange that.

Think a little harder before making such ****** remarks. There are plenty of other arguments in Klitschkos favour you can focus on, but go ahead and make unintelligent and irrational conclusions.

You're a moron. Tunney is one of the most intelligent posters on
these boards. Just because he doesn't agree with you, doesn't
mean he is unintelligent. Grow up douche bag.

hmm for someone thats scared, haye has spent an awful lot of time calling these guys out. i dont think thats the issue, its possible that booth is just inept at negotiating at such a high level (basically he's only organised fights where haye has been the draw), or its possible that the klitchkos and thier management see haye as less of a draw than he really is, and are therefore expecting him to take a pittance and fight with these ridiculous rematch clauses. does anyone honestly think that professional fighters are scared of eachother? and that they'd admit it to their management and tell them to cancel the fight? dont be ridiculous

Boooooooring!
the "klit" co brothers are nothing but a couple of robots and thats it.
they do not have speed and agility like most modern heavyweights such as, mike tyson,muhamed ali,etc...even frank bruno was less robotic than these two. they do NOT bring exitement,glamour,money or **** to the ring except for their height....a peak mike tyson would have devoured them both in the same night and ali would have made it easier than the cleveland williams fight.
in a nutshell......BORING! and theres two of em!zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Aside from all these hate threads on either side there is now talk that Haye has offered Wlad the fight in Germany, lets just wait and see what happens.
This article was taken from BBC news
David Haye has offered to fight WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Germany after prospects of the bout taking place in London faded.
Haye's camp seemed close to agreeing a deal for a June bout in London but the fight itself could now be in doubt unless an agreement is found quickly.
Haye wants the fight so much he would travel to Klitschko's backyard for it.
"David will fight Wladimir anywhere they choose," the 28-year-old's trainer and manager Adam Booth said.
Klitschko, 32, who is based in Germany, boasts 52 wins in 55 bouts.
His last success came on 13 December when the referee stopped American Hasim Rahman's punishment in the seventh round.
Haye defeated American Monte Barrett last November and has 21 wins inside the limit in 22 fights, with one defeat.
Booth said that in order to persuade the Klitschko camp to sign up to the fight they had offered them the two rematch options they requested.
"In regards to the rematches clause, I am baffled as to why Klitschko co-manager Bernd Bonte seems to have forgotten our last conversation about this," said Booth.
"We said they could have the two rematches they wanted, which effectively means David's next three fights could be in Germany against either Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko.
"David doesn't want to dodge Wladimir and just pick and choose his way through boring, fringe contenders.
"He wants to fight the best and restore some excitement to the heavyweight division. We only hope Wladimir feels the same way."
Londoner Haye had originally been expected to fight Wladimir's elder brother Vitali for the WBC belt.
However, in January Vitali revealed that the siblings had tossed a coin to decide who should fight former undisputed cruiserweight champion Haye.
Vitali, 37, who had announced his retirement in 2005 but reclaimed his WBC title last year, is now preparing for a mandatory defence against Juan Carlos Gomez of Cuba on 21 March.

Not true

According to Bernd Boente, Haye is being very greedy and making ridiculous demands.
Strange how Haye says he wants the fight so much and yet he is making big demands even though he brings nothing to the table.
Seems like Haye just to cash out to me
