Valuev set to get Haye Rematch in Summer, due to Rematch clause

[The Hammer]

The fight with Valuev has nothing to do with the belt, it has to do with a rematch clause in Valuev's contract.

The WBA is always creating interim belts. Let Haye fight Valuev in summer then a Klitschko in late fall (December) instead of the winner of Meehan-Chagaev. The winner of Chagaev and Meehan can fight for an interim belt.

Remember, the WBA lets Guillermo Jones remain inactive for 18 months. Amir Khan can take several fights to evade Maidana. So why can't Haye fight Klitschko before his mandatory?

Is this a fair deal to Haye? 50/50 in America on neutral grounds for both parties and American judging? Now drop the belt!

Bigger fight in Germany and/or England.

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if this fight could sell in America by September the way Haye talks and HBO does seem to want that fight and have been waiting for it.

The problem with having it in Europe is that USA might lose the fight which means it most likely won't be on TV here unless the fighters agree to a smaller purse from an American TV company which then it could possibly still be "live" but at 5PM or around that. It's all about money and scheduling with these TV people. Replays aren't favorable and 5PM shows aren't quite as good. Although I think it has to do more with promoting since if a Peak Tyson was fighting at 5PM, I think it would sell. College Football does very well during the day on Saturday so a boxing match at that time which can be seen by a larger audience because of kids....$$$$$....if it works.

It would depend on who draws what in each country they show the fight on. So if Haye does better in England for his fights on TV, Haye gets the bigger money points for England...while the Klitschkos get the bigger share from German money...and so on.

Neutral judging but judges that are known and respected. If they want, judges from anywhere except Germany and England. They actually need to start reviewing all judges and refs carefully after each fight. And if they suck, get rid of them.

Don't think the Klitschkos care where the ref or judges are from as long as everything is "fair."
