Let's be honest about this Klitschko thing.

[paulf]

No.

It takes at least three months to promote a PPV fight event. The contracts for Wlad/Haye are not signed and no location has been booked. They wouldn't be fighting until late March at the earliest.

There would be absolutely no reason for Wlad to pass up on the money and the easy fight, and well as a great opportunity for a tune up.

It's also not the way K2 does business.

[Bring It On]

How on earth could Wlad-Chisora be considered as a "build-up"? It would have been another boring ass-fight against a poor, undeserving, "contender". I'm glad it's cancelled.

Unless a Klit-Haye fight is made HW can go to hell for all I care.

[Thread Stealer]

The fight is off right, Wladimir is not ducking and also he's probably not injured.

BBC just reported that Adam Booth is flying out to Vegas to discuss a Wlad-Haye fight with Schaeffer. Clearly things are moving quickly in that department.

This seems to be the real reason the fight is off.

Why would they cancel this fight, so close to when the event, just because they are working on a Haye fight?

The negotiations can wait a few days, it's unlikely to get done so fast, and they need time to promote a Klitschko-Haye fight anyway.

Because Haye is in Las Vegas for the Khan fight and is meeting with Golden Boy. Also Adam Booth has flown out there for disucssions according to the BBC.

Yes true, but chances are the Schaeffer and Finkel actually understand what 50-50 means and won't agree with the insane 60-40 is actually 50-50 math that the cross eyed morons Booth and Haye specialize in.

Also, why would Haye accept a slave contract at this point?

Everyone knows that every single offer the Klitschkos make is a slave contract because David Haye has said so.

Go away you racist scumbag coward.

Looks like you are mad about me being right again.

****in crybaby loser.

mm,suspect,finkel said it was a back injury,and was reported to several people as this,but boente said it was another injury,backed up by some dr.

And so close to a fight,when there should be no heavy work being done to even be able to cause such a bad injury??.

i think wlad prob found out tickets werent selling,he didnt want to fight a nobody and seem a massive hypocrite with fraudley criticism to haye.

he didnt want a potential tough fight which he shoud have made easy.He must be in talks with Haye.

i dont think "slave contracts" are being dealt with since Haye won the belt made a bigger name for himself in uk germany and a bit in usa.

theres gona be the venue decided this weekend,most likely vegas ide think,plenty of brits would go over,enough germans too,and all the american fans would lap it up.

wembley should be the 2nd haye v klitschko fight tbh.,or even rumble in jungle 2/thrillia in manilla 2?,anyone?.

once they agreed on that its just the minor niggle of the home teritory tv split.

which is solved by the winner gets what they wanted idea.
(Haye wins-haye keeps uk tv 100 per cent of it)
(wlad/vitali wins-they take half of hayes uk ppv or whatever they wanted)

or 60 /40 split with home tv revenue? ,60 winner,40 loser??.

everything else split down the middle?
big bonus for a KO/TKO WIN?.

HBO,SKY AND RTL.
