Why did David Haye sign the contract if he didn't like it?

[j]

what is this b*tchiness about rematch clauses??? lennox lewis had them in like every contract. that is how he got the rematches he needed.

Ok,lets just play with this one a bit...What will you say if Haye sparks out Wlad?

It's not going to happen.

Wlad is highly motivated for this one, and I know what he fights like when he's angry. Ray Austin got him mad a couple of years ago, as did big Carlos Monroe back in 1998.

Exactly...

And most of the people bitching about it are former Lewis fans.

Hypocricy.

No,based on the fact that basic negotiating tactics would be to start high and bring your demands down,now with the **** deal Haye ended up with WTF do you think Dr.Borings starting position was?

The point is, you have NO IDEA what was in the previous contract Haye referred to.

And when Haye is mock-griping to the UK sports media about being forced to sign a ****ty contract that in reality represents something of a coup, to generate further controversy, interest and support (bows world's smallest violin for poor Hayemaker, having to accept the biggest payday of his career in exchange for a shot at the unified heavyweight champ, bawwwwww), what makes you think he wouldn't hype up a bit of tasty innuendo about a (DUN DUUN DUUUUUUUN) even more Draconian first draft just to stir the pot some more?


All you know is Haye said it would "crack you up". Hayehype, and you're eating it up with a spoon. LMAO



SUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

1 rematch clause..and it didnt involve any of his relatives

[BattlingNelson]

it shows he has heart and it wasnt about the money...better question why did wlad come up with such a dumbass contract

No. It was exactly about about the money. Haye is going to be a rich man fighting for the biggest title in sports without being qualified.

If it wasn't about money he wouldn't have taken the fight.

SUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

The POINT is that I dont particlularly like either fighter,and all your pompous condescencion cannot take away from the fact that pulling some **** like this is another black eye for the sport.The prestige of the sport means more to me than any 1(3?) fights.

Can I answer this one, too?

I'd be excited, because it would mean a second fight even more intensely suspenseful and explosive than the first.

No. It was exactly about about the money. Haye is going to be a rich man fighting for the biggest title in sports without being qualified.

If it wasn't about money he wouldn't have taken the fight.

Exactly...

He would risk losing a lot of money if he fought in an eliminator with Dimitrenko or Arreola and lost. So he took a shortcut...

But there's often a price people pay for the shortcuts they take in life.

Black eye for the sport?






You're seriously ranking this 2 rematch clause (unprecedented, due to the unprecedented circumstances) up there with the great injustices, venalities and self-taintings of boxing history?


BWAAAAAAAH, HAHAHA. Talking about pomposity, somebody needs some perspective. And a beer to lighten up with.
