honorable is taking a loss in a dignified manner. not saying well if i lose my brother wants to kick your ass

So? that doesnt stop them being shrewd or manipulative in business.

Have you met them? how can you say they're all these things, they might just but on a front for the media. You never know.

i think so, but not because he didnt want to fight Wlad, but he didnt want to fight Wlad for free. he's a PROFESSONAL boxer. He fights for money.

With setanta going bust he had no share of the purse.

Should have just come out and said it though instead of bull****ing

i dont believe for a second he would have been fighting for free, bbc, itv or sky would have snapped it up, he wont get as much fighting mega head

bbc pulled ot of boxing years ago
itv are also pulling out the boxing
sky aint got the resources to sling at boxing like they do other sports

I'm a Haye fan but with hindsight yes I think the injury was fake. But we will never know for sure so who cares. The fights have been made lets just all enjoy them and see how they pan out.

nearly all boxing contracts involve options engineerd to enable rematchs or other fights that the chalenger is obliged to agree to giving the promoter/manager an advantage should his fighter lose to enable them rematches or ability to control other fights the winning fighter may be able to take in future. there is nothing strange realy except it was specified it would be the brother he would have to face.

BBC have recently shown repeats of fights a few days after they were on setanta so that shows they are still inrested, also there has been talks they plan to bring it back, ITV are alway threatening to axe boxing, i doubt they will, Sky clearly are most likley to take it and probably will.

yeah i think haye did fake the injury to pull out of the match up but truthfully how many HW's would put themselves through a training camp and take on the HW champ for free?

as for the vitali fight i thought that was done and dusted but apparently not. i can also understand his reasons for wanting to pull out, no-one wants to be restircted in making the future fights. david wants the big fights vs chambers, arreola and povetkin and K brothers could have taken those fights themselves while matching haye against other fighters.

this imo is david last chance saloon, im a fan of haye's and think he could make big waves in the division but so far he has promised so much and delivered so little. so far hes only beaten bonin and barrett!! he promised vlad and he didn't deliver, he promised vitali and again he didn't deliver this is the last time i give the guy a pass.
