    David Haye is clearly milking his popularity before he fights klitschko

    that's the only reason he's fighting harrison. Money. He knows the klitschko's aren't going anywhere and in the UK, there are really only three big names - haye, khan, and for better or worse, Audley Harrison.

    Haye is a smart guy, he knows there is a very good chance he'll get beat by klitschko and if he does, there really aren't any big fights left for him. So in his mind it's make some money now, then fight klitschko and retire.

    of course it's irritating to us fans who want the fight now, but I see what he's doing. It's business and it's smart from a financial standpoint.

    id have no problem with it (well, not that much of a problem) if he fought more than once a year.

    He could milk his popularity and fight a decent opponent within the same 12 months

          I honestly dont think Haye will fight the Klits.

          If he does it will be a 41 year old Vitali

            It's a positive (more sales) but also a negative(if he get's ko'd he will look even worse).

              Its because the Klitschkos are treating him like a peasent when Haye is big enough to rake in cash on his own. WHy is it so hard for Haye to get a legit 50/50 deal from the Klits? The fight wouldve happened easily if Wlad wouldve agreed to the terms.

              David Haye is not Albert Sosnoski or Hasim Rahman. Haye actually has a real fan base.

              Name the last Klitschko opponent who had a legitemate fanbase? Lewis? Has Wlad fought anyone with a large following in his life?

              Haye is not the average Klitschko opponent.

                  Legit 50/50 is split everything down the middle, exactly what the Klits offered.

                  Haye wants more then a 50/50 split

                  Now GTFO of this thread
