Haye might have to reconsider his plan

[maverock]

Haye was screaming in 2008 how the Klits fight "mandatory bums" and should "stop hiding behind worthless mandatories". Already forgot? Source: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...478733,00.html

Haye needs to take some of his own trashtalk medicine.

Of course! It's the same thing. The Klits fight bums and 50,000 naive Germans fill a stadium to see them.

Haye is doing the same thing. Fighting old bums like Ruiz/Valuev/Meehan etc. in the UK so he can look like a national hero while raking in millions in PPV income.

The problem here is: Haye was yelling how the Klits fight bums. Now he's caught doing the same thing. We find out he's no better, he's just chasing the quick dollar with minimum risk. Can't really blame him but it is what it is.

At the end of the day, greed wins over athletic aspirations for boxing glory. Money corrupts.

Ruiz was a mandatory and Nikolay was the world champion. Bums? Thats reaching.

By fighting Nikolay and gaining the world title he doesn't have to get bent over by the Klitschkos just to fight them.

It was a checkmate move for Haye, now he can call the shots.

Wonder if he will fight Klitschko. I dont think he will

I'm hoping he drops the WBA belt if they talk of Valuev or Chagaev/Meehan winner.

You guys don't understand.

The Valuev rematch is contractual with Sauerland. It's nothing to do with the WBA.

The only option is if Haye drops it and the Valuev camp don't want a rematch for pride, just for the belt, so they chase after that instead.

Its not his option. Because of the contract, he HAS to fight Valuev again or else he'll be in some serious legal trouble.

Haye is after money, not glory. Don't forget that. He will defend the worthless WBA strap and continue his WBA bum-bashing quest in his backyard in the UK. The Brits are happily paying 14.95 quid for this so he just gives them what they want.

If so, its no different to what the K bros have been doing for the last decade...

what do you mean fighting in his back yard, he won his cruiserweight title in france and then the heavyweight title in germany. and i would gladly pay £15 pounds for his fights because of what i saw tonight- entertainment. when was the last time the K brothers had i fight outside germany?

How's life?

Angry much?

hahahaha.

Haye is a great boxer, deservedly ranked up there with the best heavyweights in the world.

Haye should fight Vitali next, once he beats him then he can fight Vlad

Wrong.

Sauerland calls the shots because they control Haye now for a while. He gained a belt but he temporarily lost his freedom.

He ran from the Klits because he didn't like their "slave contracts" straight to Sauerland to fight Valuev. And what did he sign? A slave contract.

A Klit fight could have happened in 2009. Now we may have to wait until 2011, and that is if we're lucky. Vitali will retire soon as he'll be closing in on his 40th birthday and both chinny Wlad and Haye can always be knocked out cold straight into retirement by some complete nobody until their fight eventually happens.
