Comments Thread For: Klitschko Plan: Revisit Valuev Talks, Not Go After Haye

[Pin Galarga]

Once WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is finished with his next title defense, on October 16 in Germany against Shannon Briggs, he won't sit at the table with WBA champion David Haye. Instead Vitali wants to revisit discussions with Nikolai Valuev for a fight. Vitali tried to make a fight with Valuev for the last few months. Valuev rejected an original offer of $2.5 million dollars. He then turned down $1.5 million dollars but later agreed to accept the amount. After the two fighters agreed to the purse, they couldn't agree on the revenue split from the German and Russian television networks [Click Here To Read More]

Maybe Vitali will get the fight if HE fights against both at the same time.. you know like wrestleling.. Valuev can run to his corner and tap Dave to jump in and visversa. Valuev has no value and David is a big mouth chickensht.

They will try get serious now with Valuev now that he has a real doubtful future with his medical condition, They won't go for Haye because Haye wont be fooled into daft contracts they know Haye is wanting to unify the division and only wanting 2 more fights why offer a contract with a 3 fight rematch clause.

Valuev is real vulnerable even if he is cleared to box again the K's and rest of the boxing world knows this.

Whats Valuev's medical condition????

How was Lenox shot? he was in his bloomin prime..he hadnt lost anything and ran like a girl from the rematch...the bloody eye was not from a punch ..... the Klits are way better than that coward Lennox who got knocked the **** out in the pat before as well...

Valuev turned down 2.5 million to fight Vitali and already said he blames himself and Don King for that. So don't twist the facts.

Shannon Briggs already refuted Haye's claim about "daft contracts," as you call them. Vitali offered 50/50 worldwide split, but Haye wanted all the UK TV money and wanted Vitali to take the TV money from Germany, which would mean Haye makes more than Vitali. That's not 50-50.

That is fine, I don't blame him for not wanting to play games any more with Haye because big Vit probably doesn't have too long yet in the sport and wouldn't want to waste all of that time negotiating with Haye for a fight with him to not materialize in the end.

It's obvious that Haye will find some way to bust up any negotiations. A 50-50 split wasn't good enough. He still wanted more. So yes, he is wasting the K-Bros time. They have to move on until the boxing public demands that Haye fight them.

Lennox wasn't shot. That was all hindsight on the part of his fanboys who needed an excuse for the beating he took from Vitali. They beat the crap out of each other, Vitali was ahead and got cut, bad luck. And he was never given another chance.

[Weltschmerz]

fooled into daft contracts? He was offered 50/50 by Wlad last time and no reaction, let alone a response.. Haye is a joke, a fake, in short, a paper 'champ'

Who are you trying to fool that it wasn't from a punch? You're being ridiculous.

Obviously if the surgery doesn't fix the problem then Vitali won't be able to fight him, so he won't be able to get serious. It is rather strange that Vitali should be talking about fighting Valuev when it's apparently far from certain that Valuev will ever be able to fight again, and when it's likely to be at least 6 months before he can do so.

They won't go for Haye because Haye wont be fooled into daft contracts they know Haye is wanting to unify the division and only wanting 2 more fights why offer a contract with a 3 fight rematch clause.

You're a year out of date. Haye was offered a 50/50 purse split with no rematch clauses to fight Wlad this year, and turned the offer down. You should try to keep up with the sport!

Valuev is real vulnerable even if he is cleared to box again the K's and rest of the boxing world knows this.

Not so. If he's cleared it will be because he has fully recovered. You may as well say that Vitali is vulnerable because of the surgery he's had. Not true, he has fully recovered from it.
