Comments Thread For: Wladimir: Haye Said Vitali Hits Too Hard, Won't Fight Him

[BetterCallSaul]

Because some are desperate for a hate outlet, and will use any half assed excuse.

Haye didn't duck Wlad for two years though. People forget that Haye has only ever been in a contract once with the Klit's and pulled out due to injury and Setanta going bust. He never signed a contract with Vitali and was offered a better deal elsewhere with little of the Klitschko's contract stipulations. Unsurprisingly he accepted it which allowed him to win a world title and be treated on equal terms with the Klitschko's.

Since then, Haye has been in negotiations with the Klitschko's at every opportunity but they keep pulling the same tricks over and over again.

Let's look at the facts in these round of negotiations -

- Haye accepted a 50-50 deal, even though he brings in 3/4 of the pot.

- Haye agreed to fight in Germany (Wlad's hometurf)

- Haye agreed to Wlad's demands of (gloves, promotional superiority, ring doctor)

- Haye agreed to July 2nd

- Wlad rejected that the fight took place in the UK during April/May even though he claimed there were no German venues available at that time. (Why is it that he is now fighting Chisora in Mannheim on the 30th of April?)
- Wlad signed for a fight with Chisora only 8 weeks before the proposed date for his fight with Haye. (No top fighter would take part in a major title fight and then immediately resume training camp for the biggest fight of their career)

Looking through objective lenses, both parties are to blame for the negotiations falling through, but this time Wladimir is more culpable than Haye is. If Wlad somehow loses to Chisora the fight with Haye would be scrapped and Haye would be left without an opponent and a career high payday. Wlad's scheduling of a fight with Chisora 8 weeks only before a Haye fight just isn't acceptable.

1. Haye said he was offered 2 dats, the chisora one and July 2. Sky turned down the april one due to Khan being on PPV

2. Id agree they are both to blame, but Haye should call his bluff and agree to it. If(when) Wlad pulls out then he can screem Wlad is ducking him and line up another opponent with time to spare before his retirement in October (if he does infact retire)

I’m not buying this for one second maybe its Wlads way of insulting Haye in which case his insults are as lacklustre and boring as his fights.
