David Haye Slams The "Three Fight" Klitschko Deal

[Chuckguy]

David Haye is speaking out about the deal he was forced to take in order to secure a shot at WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on June 20. As reported before, Haye had to agree to a three-fight Klitschko deal. Should he beat Wladimir, the next fight would be a rematch or a bout with WBC champion Vitali Klitschko. And if he beats Vitali, then it's another Klitschko rematch [with Vitali or Wladimir]. [details]

This is exactly why I went from a Haye Hater to a fan boy
**** that ****!
I hope he knocks the Klits into retirement!

Why didn't Haye take the same route as Thompson, Povetkin, and JC Gomez to a title shot, by defeating another contender?

His shortcut has a price.

there u go, good counter. Lennox Lewis had rematch clauses in a bunch of his fights there was nothing wrong with Lennox getting rematch right away but when Wlad does hes a coward

Would this contract be legal in the states? This sounds like one of those old school gangsta deals.

haye willl make the most money hes ever made what is he crying about

[Sin City]

Lennox didn't have clauses that said anyone would have to fight Elmo Lewis or some other relative though.

What really grinds my gears

First the Klits with the super clauses if he beat one he has to rematch or fighter the other and if he wins he has to fight the other again. What happens if he wins both time is Haye going to have to fight them both the third time. Not saying Haye that good anyways i just here about him of this site and nowhere else really but here is to the triple threat match.

lol

This is actually a good deal for Haye its not like has to fight both brothers at once, though he's claimed that wouldn't be a problem as I recall. If he's as good as he claims he can walk away from this thing with three belts and recognition as the #1 Heavy in the world. Championship rematch clauses are common and as a plus he gets a guaranteed unification fight. Very generous for a fighter who hasn't beat a top ten in such a heavily ridiculed division. I mean God forbid Haye doesn't get a chance to defend his titles against Andrew Golota or Holyfield if he upsets Wlad. Anyone bitching about this is just scared Haye isn't good enough to unify...including himself.

I almost wish he hadn't taken the deal it was such a joke. He could have fought Arreola or gone after Valuev and let Wlad wallow in his own muck.

I,m confident that Haye will bring heat to these guys..Well I hope he does!!!!

Lewis never had a two successive rematch clause - don't bull****.
