come on haye is a coward the world knows it and haye has no intention of fighting either of the Klitties. Boxing should strip the coward of his belt haye is a bum. Either of the Klitties would destroy haye the baby.

I keep seeing "well haye draws this, and wlad draws that"... who cares... put ALL of it in the same pot and split it 50-50. What is the problem?

Wlad wont fight for less then 50%, haye has been very clear he wont fight for less then 50%... make it 50-50 and get it on... WAIT... seems now Wlad has givin Haye "a NEW slave contract" 50-50 with No options..... what a slave Haye would be for taking that one...

Wlad should have known... haye wants 55-60%

Diva "da *****" Gaye

There is nothing to argue about. It's Clear. Diva Gaye = *****. wba belty always was a Crap!

[LeadUppercut]

I wrote about Diva Gay's did't deserved even 40% share of overall income. Agree?

Personally, I always thought that 60/40 sounded pretty fair.

Haye is not worth 50%, no way.

The K's have owned the heavyweight division for most of the last decade, Haye has been around for 5 minutes, and he hasn't really done anything yet.

Don't believe the..... "I get the british rights, you guys can have the German rights" offer. That was past unreasonable, that was just silly. He's acting like he think's hes Floyd

Haye didn't want that fight, he will have to accept 50/50 when he signs..... and that is a HUGE payday, and more than he is worth.

And he will take that payday whenever he wants.

Most likely after Harrision.

AMERICAN TV paymasters HBO have pulled the plug on heavyweight boxing.

They say not enough people are interested in the States.

It is a blow to the division and especially to the Klitschko brothers, who have benefited most from the broadcasters' money.

Yet they will not be on the breadline just yet. Their fights in Germany attract crowds in excess of 60,000, as well as getting massive viewing figures on German TV. [Click Here To Read More]

dear lord......HBO Pulling the plug on HW Fights Now???? pretty much shows how much interest the public have lost in HW Boxing....and im pretty sure Haye Vs Wladimir will take place in 2011 after wladimir defends against povetkin since he is mandatory and haye im not to sure who he is fighting tbh but would be happy if he mans up and fights wlad or vitali..

[LeadUppercut]

Nope!!!! Someones been smoking crack all day!

What?

You think that Haye is actually worth 50/50?

I mean, I am not denying that K2 offered him 50%..... that is well documented.

But you cannot tell me that you think Haye is actually worth a 50/50 split?

They are trying to fkn drag him into the ring. Which makes the first low-ball offer look ridiculous in hindsight.

They offered 50/50, for the exact same reason that Floyd offered Manny.....

Mayweather knew that he was worth more, but agreed to 50/50 just to make the fight happen..... because it was still a fkn HUGE payday, and he was supremely confident of winning.

Haye maybe wants one last year of being the heavyweight champion of the world in the uk.

No. If the Klitschkos were two African-American brothers from Philadelphia, but the same in every other way, the American media would hype them into icon status! They'd not only be on HBO but would also become enormously popular stateside.

Ross Greenburg wants an African-American heavyweight champ. And they would prefer a non-American Black champion like Haye or Lennox Lewis over a White champion like Wladimir Klitschko.

Interestingly, a hundred years ago, some people were looking for a great white hope to defeat Jack Johnson. The US has changed a lot since then.

LOL at the above, good post.

As a Haye fan I couldn't agree more with Frank Warren. Haye wanted big things from his move up to heavyweight but he's shot himself in the foot each time an opportunity to do something big arises. Haye may think he's doing good business but he's essentially committed career suicide over the last 24 or so months.

Haye calls out the Klitschko's, su****iously backs out of fights with both of them, fights soft and mismatched opposition instead, fights twice a year IF we're lucky, gets the deal he claimed to want from a Klitschko only to refuse the deal again because of some minor details. TV rights, really David? Look, I know everyone wants to be treated fairly and make as much money as possible but Haye refusing to sign on over the TV rights/money is ridiculous. Haye keeps bitching about money and fairness but it's he who signed his career and life away when he did business with 3 separate promoters!

If Haye wanted to fight Wladimir or Vitiali or was a fighter concerned with legacy he'd have done so already. His constant selection of soft opponents and excessive inactivity tell me that Haye's not really interested in fighting. Boxing is solely a business to him nothing more. Ironically Haye's a terrible business person as evidenced by his deals with Saurland, Goldenboy, and King as well as the fact that even with a non 50/50 split, he stands to make much more money fighting a Klitschko just once than he does against anyone else. My guess is that he simply wants to milk his WBA trinket for as long as possible. Make less money fighting guys who pose little risk a few more times should bring in a few dollars, plus its safe and guarantees he'll be able to do it again.

I'll route for him should he ever get into the ring against Wladimir or Vitali, but Haye's all talk. You know if spent the last two years fighting instead of talking and "resting" he'd have much more drawing power. I guess fighting more than once or twice a year poses to much of a risk though eh?

Haye is the antithesis of what he claimed he would be at heavyweight and it's all his doing! Haye's a waste of time and his recent silence speaks volumes about his position. When two fighters want a fight to happen...it happens, that really sums it up for me.
