THEN TELL ME WHY I (being represented by you) BEING A CURRENT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE HOLDER, DO NOT DESERVE A BIG PIECE OF THAT PIE ??

Well, what am I gonna do today?
I could go to the movies, maybe go out for lunch.....
or I could do what my brains-trust Antonio says, and give the WHOLE ****EN FARM away for peanuts.

Silliest post I've ever read on boxingscene.

Don't believe the press! Unless David Haye plans on immediate retirement there is no where for him to go, especially if the Klits are offering a 50-50 split! David is doing this on purpose to piss people off...

Dave, you know better than that.....

Tell me WHY ?

You don't get to just dismiss something, without some valid reasoning?

Seeing that you think that Antonio's advice is reasonable..... "you're a chump if you don't take that bag of peanuts"..... please answer this question.....

IF Klitschko got ANYWHERE near 25kk for fighting Sosnowski.....
then he will make 30-35kk fighting Haye.....
so tell me in your opinion..... how much does Haye deserve for giving his title to Vit ?

Or, would YOU just take the bag of peanuts?

Think about your answer coz i got a spare "silly" that I'm waiting to throw around.

And what purpose would that have?

First, you're assuming Haye doesn't think he can win, which may be true, but if it is, it makes all his trash talking and his claims to be the saviour of the division completely pathetic.

Second, Haye was reportedly offered 50/50 vs. Wlad, which is a far better offer than he really deserves given his resume at heavyweight. And after all his trash talking, for him to refuse to sign after being given such an offer means he's lost all credibility with everyone who loves the sport of boxing.

And for him to be reportedly seriously considering fighting Harrison - who not long ago lost to a taxi driver - instead of the Klitschkos, is so breathtakingly pathetic, especially given all his criticisms of the Klitschkos' standard of opposition - that it is making him into the laughing stock of boxing (which, ironically, will damage him commercially in the long run).

If you put business above the sport then you're not a boxing fan, you're just a business fan. There are lots of business forums for people who are just business fans. This is a boxing forum.

If Haye does not get suitably reimbursed for his title/trouble, then he will do what Manny did..... he will go fight somebody else until there is a better offer on the table.

Boxing has worked this way for over a century, anyone been watching for more than a couple of years?

That doesn't answer my question. I'm asking what intentionally pissing poeple off is going to accomplish. So far as I can see it can only turn off the fans who pay for the events, and turn off the fighters who might potentially do business with Haye in the future. Or does he think he's goin to get a better than 50-50 offer from Wlad if he just blanket ignores him now?

There'll come a point, soon I think, when both brothers will just say the hell with it and move on.

Well him waiting around being silent or maybe fighting lesser comp for whatever reason hurts the value of the fight if it is ever to happen.

PPL were interested before and now he looks bad and if he just takes some soft opposition he looks like he ducked Wlad which he has and ppl are less likely to believe him to be able to beat Wlad like they were before when he 1st started the talk because if he doesn't even think he could win why would anyone else think so or care that much about the fight?

If this is though unlikely some business strategy its a bad one, especially if Haye looks less than spectacular against someone Wlad already demolished in a future fight.

Maybe actually get people (**** even some hardcore fans don't watch HW's anymore) to give two-****s about the heavyweight division. If you don't remember, the heavyweight division was one of the most exciting weight classes that fighters like Marciano, Ali, Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Spinks, Tyson, Holyfield, Ruddock, Bowe, Moorer, Bruno, and the good looking Lewis once graced. Back then, casual sports knew who the hell was the HW champion.Now if I mention the word "klitschko" to the casual sports fan, they'd think I was making up a super-scientific word for vagina. This is meant to add hype, its integral to promoting, why do you think this fight could easily sell out in the biggest stadium in Berlin, **** this fight would sell out Wembley. Haye talks up a storm because he knows it gets ppl's attention and that means more $$$. If Klit got $25 mil for Sosnowski, ***** will be able to buy his way into the Ukranian presidency with a properly and anticipated matchup with Haye. Plus yall think Klit is gonna KO Haye in the first round, dude couldn't even KO Chambers till the 12th and Eddie has 1/500 of the speed Haye has. People will say, "oooh who's afraid?, haye? whose haaye? ...oh id think wanna see this fight."

But in the end, I'm just like you, I get tired of "he said, they said, they scurred, im scurred" ****..
