how is it even legal to have a clause in a contract that says..

[Mr. Philadel]

If any other fight named De la hoya, Mayweather, Hopkins or any top fighter pull this kind of stuff we would have an internet breakdown on all boxing website.

co-sign......but don't say truthful **** like that too loud.....you know these dudes will start a riot whenever Floyd gets defended or spoke of in a non-disrespectful manner

[medium-deek]

That seems like some **** from the street. Anytime you whooped somebody's ass, within a few days or so you were damn well gonna be fightin his big brother, or cousin, or best friend, etc.

That was always true when I was a kid.

Lewis always had rematch clauses and nobody had a problem with them. This contract is to ensure that Klit gets a rematch should Haye land a lucky punch and not have to wait a couple years for a rematch while Haye fights a couple of tomato cans for the money. With HW's only fighting 2 times a year a lucky punch would make a rematch at the minimum 2 years away without the contract.

If Haye wanted to fight a HW Champion without so much BS in the contract he should have fought his way into a MANDATORY position. Beggars can't be choosers...

Yeah lewis had 2 rematch clause for his opponents to fight him or bro or mum ...

Like Hatton and calzaghe did when the both went up and fought Mayweather and Hopkins right???

I can see it now if haye pulls off the upset he will have to fight vitali next to unify but the ibf mandatory is povetkin & if haye didn't defend it he would be stripped leaving the haye/vitali fight a wbo/wbc unification match.now with the ibf belt vacant povetkin would fight a top contender to claim the belt.let me guess here it will be wlad.if wlad beat povetkin & haye beat vitali then wlad would still be entitled to the 3rd rematch with haye for 3 of the belts.I'm not a big fan of the klits but they covered their buts good with this contract.this is only what could happen but haye has to win first.the contract is proof that when I say once a European has a world title he will do anything to hold on to it.the really great boxers don't need a title at stake to generate the money.ricky hatton & pacman people want to see regardless if a klitschko didn't have a belt they would be nothing more than European regional fighters.no belts no American coverage.other Europeans get huge coverage in the states but the klits who are heavyweights can't.If vitali doesn't quit 10 years ago & wlad didn't lose to purrity & get blown out by sanders LIVE on hbo they may have got more respect & coverage.no one FORGETS a quitter! Wlad choked on the big stage vs sanders & his only legit name since then is Byrd & a done rahman.

What if Haye's beats both of them. I wonder how will the conversation with the brothers be like at the family reunion?

[Roger Mellie]

if you beat me you have to fight my brother?????wtf

Tell me about it! It is absolutely pathetic and the kind of situation that really makes me want Haye to smash the piss out of both of them,which sadly isnt likely.The Heavyweight championship is one of the richest and most prestigious prizes in sport,and the Klitschkos have managed to completely denigrate it.Could you imagine Ali,Tyson or Lewis making such ridiculous demands? absolutely not.

This fight contract has once again brought shame to the sport and should be torn up.Wlad should be made to fight Haye or be stripped of his belts.Fight my brother my arse!!!!

[Mr. Philadel]

What if Haye's beats both of them. I wonder how will the conversation with the brothers be like at the family reunion?

they would have to invite Haye.......I mean he WOULD be their daddy then!

Lewis had an immediate rematch clause with Rahman and if he didn't Rahman would've fought at least 2 bums before giving Lewis a rematch.

Hatton signed a rematch clause with Tszyu since Kostya had the leverage just like the Klit brothers do with Haye. It's not like Wlads brother is just some scrub fighter, he's the frigging WBC Champion and the biggest money fight Haye will ever get should he get really, really lucky against Wlad!

If Haye wanted to he could have waited and fought his way into a mandatory position. When you jump the line you have to make concessions...

[Johnny Rebel]

Why do so many posters have such a problem with an immediate rematch or a unification bout with Vitali should Haye get lucky? Would you really rather see Haye fight a few scrubs for paychecks and hold up a unification bout for a few more years in the event he lands a lucky punch?

[micky_knox]

Whats the problem Haye said he wants to fight them both anyway.
Now he has what he wants
