David Haye has called out pound-
for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
The WBA heavyweight belt
holder issued his challenge at a
press conference in London.
Wearing a T-shirt that depicted
him holding a British flag and
trodding on the Filipino people,
Haye declared, “Manny Pacquiao
is afraid to fight me. If we ever
get into the ring together, I ’ll
show him who’s number one in
the world.”
Informed that Pacquiao had
accepted his challenge to fight at
a catchweight of 210 pounds,
agreed to a fifty-fifty revenue
split, and was willing to fight in
London, Haye conferred hastily
with adviser Adam Booth and
told the assembled media, “We
don’t want to rush into anything.
I might fight Ricky Hatton
instead. ”
Reached for comment in
Manchester, Hatton replied, “I’m
honored, mate. But to be honest
with you, I don ’t think I can
make 210 pounds.”
