Comments Thread For: Haye Breaks Silence: Tells Why Klitschko Fights Fell Apart

[Die Antwoord]

Wlad has more belts, more respect, the better resume, more defenses, more fans. Wow, Haye's fans will travel...Klitschko's already sell out stadiums fighting Sosnowski and paying him 250k so who cares if they travel? yeah you can raise ticket prices, but you arent going to double them. Haye doesnt bring enough money plus its about the principle of it all. If the Klitschko's cave other people will expect the same treatment. Theres no rematch and an incredibly fair deal. More than fair. Undeserving deal.

Vitali made more money fighting Sosnowski than Haye will ever make not fighting a Klitschko.

Haye has yet to fight a heavyweight in their prime. Valuev was clearly on the downslide and got beat by Holyfield who was robbed. Even so, Haye felt it was necessary to run all night long from Valuev. He's the first heavyweight ever to run from Valuev instead of fighting him toe to toe.

Ruiz, Barrett, Chagaev, and many many others have fought Valuev and taken him into battle.

Barrett and Ruiz were completely and utterly shot in their fights with Haye.

It's time to fight a challenge or get out of boxing in my opinion.

Fighting Valuev was just about getting the belt as far as I see it. Haye just used the advantage he had, his speed. Why did he need to stand toe to toe? I'm sure this would have made a much better fight, but not every boxer is Ricky hatton or Mike Tyson.

The worst thing Haye ever did was trash talk the Klit's, if he wasn't prepared to fight for a belt at any cost then he shouldn't have made this out to be the case. He just set him up for a fall as eveyone thinks he's ducking them now.

50/50 doesnt matter, but i think its haye who doesnt want the fight. He saying too much excuses he said he just have a baby, the next he is on vacation and promoting fights in the United States. I could be wrong but come on just negotiate

You must have missed the part where Haye said Wlad can keep all the revenue in Gemany and he would keep the UK and Wlad walked away. If Wlad makes so much more money than Haye why did he not accept?

Now I just hope Haye retires in 2011 like he said he would, so that someone that is interested in unifying can pick that belt up, since Haye probably won't lose it because he's only interesting in defending against the Audley's of the world.

Read the thread he did negotiate.

So in other words Haye walked away from a very generous 50/50 split across the board?

How did Haye walk away? Haye wanted 50/50 but Wlad was tied into his RTL contract so Haye made the offer that he keeps the UK and Wlad Germany, Wlad walked away. In the video where Wlad calls Haye out didn't he say money wasn't a problem and there was plenty to go around? But now he *****es out.

It wouldn't have been a 50-50 split across the board. Klitschko is tied up in a German tv contract and plainly refused a 50-50 split. So Haye offered him another alternative where Haye keeps UK ppv money, and Wlad keeps German tv money, and Klitschko still refused.

Haye isn't ducking this fight.

Who does he think he is, he would be lucky to be getting a 60/40.

Wlad is the man at HW, he has all of the power in the situation, and everything to bargain with.

If contenders don't like the more than fair deals of which Haye was offered they can go elsewhere.

How can you be defending this ducking fraud who priced himself out?
