Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko: "Haye Fight Will Happen on July 2!"

[The Surgeon]

Another thing this Proves Wlad rates Haye, he talks ***** about Haye being crap but this move shows he respects Haye as a fighter and knows he needs to be sharp and on his game to win

[Money Shot]

The mighty Haye will meanwhile fight nobody until July 2nd. Unless Audley wants Breast of Enemies2, or Skelton gets paroled.

At this point, I'm completely comfused.

[King Ju-Ju]

hope it really does happen but ill believe it when i see it.

[dvb]

i hope he means it has actually been signed by both and will go ahead.

i think the truth is the date is there for them both,but it has not been signed yet,probably not till haye gets his tune up fight/mandatory out the way then signs for wlad.

anoying that sky are being so poor.

but tbh,does wlad really expect to fight chisora and then haye after 2 months with a short training camp?.

does he expect to KO chisora early then have a shorter training camp than usual and still be sharp from fighting not long before july 2nd.

So, as usual, Haye and Booth are the only ones with a problem.

So, as usual, Haye and Booth are the only ones with a problem.

As has been the case for the past 3 years. It's always something; fake back injury, slave contracts, "I am too busy on vacation", money split, now the date. It's always something with those two. The pressure is on Haye to make the fight, not on the Klitschkos. The Klitschkos didn't make their name off Haye, it was Haye that made his name off them with his promises to KO both of them. When he first came onto the HW scene he had to give 2 for 1 tickets and still had to put up curtains to hide all the empty seats.

So Wlad is going to fight Haye after barely two months since he faced Chisora?

Surely, Wlad is going to be in the toughest fight of his career! Wouldnt he need more preperation and rest before a potential superfight with Haye?

[Sweet Jesus]

Respect if this goes down.

An unimpressed Booth told Sky Sports News: "There were lots of people that know Wladimir really didn't want this fight yet. It's a shame. It's embarrassing for boxing that the unification fight isn't going to happen now because David's bent over backwards. We've conceded to every single ridiculous demand they made."

Booth added: "From the start they said 50-50. David said fine, even though potentially we're putting in the pot three or four times more than they're putting into the pot because of pay-per-view Sky box office. David still said 'let's get the fight done 50-50'.

"They said the fight had to be on their German broadcaster even though our German broadcaster was prepared to pay more. We said fine. They said 'we're not coming to England for the fight'. David said 'fine, I'll go to Germany'. They said Wladimir has to be in the red corner, Wladimir has to come in second, Wladimir's name has to be first on the poster and all these other ridiculous, egotistical things, and David said 'fine, have it, just get him in the ring with me'.

"The last thing was, here is the date we now have, we said yes, Sky have approved that date and they turn round and say 'we're now doing Chisora'. Wladimir should feel ashamed of himself."
