Haye's claims of a "slave contract" are amusing. He was offered fights against the two top fighters in the world in his division, if he won -- and remember, he said he could easily destroy either Klitschko. So if this is the case, he could have been sitting pretty with all the titles and calling his own shots after beating both brothers. So whatever disadvantages he perceived in the "slave contract" would have been offset by winning and becoming the undisputed HW champ of the world, and calling all the shots from that point on.
THEN, Haye went and signed a "slave contract" with Sauerland and King in order to take Valuev's paper title, giving them options over his next three fights at least. Even if Haye chooses to fight Wlad now, it will still have to be OK'd by King and Sauerland. Haye can only say where he fights, not who he fights, right now. If King tells him to fight Audley Harrison instead, that's what he'll have to do. That's probably why he hasn't responded to Wlad's accusations of him "bitching out" on two fights. His hands are tied. Like a slave's.
