I remember when fighting for the HW Title was an honour. Now punks like Haye who have done *** all at HW have so many conditions and demands to be met before they man up and fight.
NEW VIDEO: David Haye explaining why the Klit fight isnt happening!!

Has everyone forgotten the video of Haye confronting Wlad and begging him for a fight? And all the other interviews after, demanding the fight?
And now we're supposed to feel sympathetic towards him, cos of these claims (which, tbh, I am dubious about anyway) about revenues and pots?
Man, **** this. He doesn't want to fight them. He wants a couple more paydays before cashing out against one of them, probably Wlad. It's as plain as day.
I used to be a fan but I'm not interested in supporting an inactive, part-time fighter who is looking to cash out before he retires in a couple of years, and doesn't want to fight the guys who he spent so long criticising and calling out. I mean, he's fighting Audley Harrison, FFS. That should tell you everything.Comment

Exactly. He's gone from the guy who was begging them for a fight, ostensibly willing to accept whatever as long as he fought them, to now demanding all this ****, cos he won a paper title by beating that freak show Valuev. And people are eating this up.Comment

I think both haye and wlad would have made a LOT more than 3 mil for this fight each, with rtl money and hayes ppv sky money plus hbo want to show it plus a stadium gate receipts all halved, that a lot for both of them. The problem is that haye will generate more than wlad with skyppv as klit is locked in a contract with rtl and there is no ppv in germany apparently, so wlad doesnt bring as much money to the table, but simply fighing a klit brings more cash in uk ppv as well, so i think 50/50 was fair, but haye obviouly wants more even though he is really the challengerWhy doesn't Klit let Haye keep 100% of the British ppv revenue? It's not like Wlad is largely known here anyway.
While I want Haye to take the fight with Klit whatever the cost, you can't blame him for looking at other options.
Why fight Klit in a fight he is more than likely to lose for £3m, when he can fight Harrison for £6m? His bargaining power will increase and he will make even more money in the long term.Comment

Keyser haye is no longer that cruiserweight moving up needing to beg for a payday . He did he's own thing and it's worked out better for all partys , he's got the WBA Belt away from don king and he generates as much revenue as either brother therefore making it better for all partysComment

They refused them because they want to control everything. This is not anything unusual. The Klithschkos have always operated like this. Haye is one of the few people in a position to say no to them. Valuev is another one and he has already turned their offer down.Comment

What proof do you have that he has lied about anything? You have just accepted what the Klithschkos have said as fact and accepting their word as fact is the equivalent of accepting Bob Arum's word as fact. You don't know what the truth is.Comment
