David Haye "if you fight Chisora on April 30, I won't fight you on July 2"

[Bastian Loc]

Tunney you're starting to sound like a woman obsessing over Haye this much.

Let go of your Hayetred and let the fight play out.

The best man will win.

WTF Does it matter what Klitschko does he wants to fight you July 2nd MAN THE **** UP DAVID HAYE

[Mayweather41-0]

When the **** did boxers become ******* I understand wanting to get paid and arguments over money bc you never know what can happen in a boxing match and they have families to feed and take care of but. But WTF does it matter if Klitschko wants to take a tune up fight. I can not believe I ever supported Haye if he does not fight Klitschko July 2nd I will never watch him fight again.

[QUOTE=Jimbo16031992;9910745]Britain's unbeaten heavyweight boxer Dereck Chisora's fight with IBF and WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko has been rearranged for 30 April in Germany.

Chisora had been due to meet Klitschko in December but the fight was postponed because of an injury to the Ukrainian.

It had been expected WBA champion David Haye would seal a unification fight with Klitschko but this ends his hopes of meeting the 34-year-old in April.

"This news is a fantastic late Christmas present," said Chisora.

The fight between Klitschko and 27-year-old Chisora could now open up the possibility of fellow Londoner Haye taking on the Ukrainian's brother Vitali Klitschko, who is the WBC champion, in April or May.

The rescheduling of Chisora's bout with Klitschko will complicate Haye's hopes of unifying the division as the 30-year-old WBA champion has vowed to retire before his 31st birthday in October.

The Klitschkos' manager Bernd Boente revealed Haye and Wladimir had been close to agreeing an April date, but negotiations broke down at the final hurdle.

Boente said the sides had agreed on the material aspects of the fight, including a 50-50 split of the revenue.

However, they could not come to an agreement on a date and site for the fight because of conflicting schedules between RTL, the German network that features Wladimir Klitschko's fights, and Sky, the British subscription network that televises Haye's bouts on Sky Box Office pay-per-view.

Still, Boente said he was confident the Wladimir Klitschko-Haye fight will eventually be made.

"I'm pretty sure the fight will happen. I'm very positive about it," he told ESPN.

"We were close with all the details. It was really a question about the date and venue.

"We always have to bring RTL and Sky together as our main TV partners and then go from there. We hadn't gotten into details about US TV, but that would have been HBO or Showtime, and I would prefer Showtime."

Klitschko had the option of rescheduling the fight with Chisora immediately, but when the prospect of a much more lucrative fight against Haye arose, the sides began negotiating.

"We wanted to do the fight on 30 April with Haye. We had two stadiums available in Germany, and coming to Germany was not a problem for Haye," added Boente.

"They only wanted neutral officials, judges, referee, all that. That is no problem. We agreed on all the points, but the major issue was Sky was not willing to do a second pay-per-view in April."

Boente said the earliest date for the fight they could come up with that suited the networks and tallied with venue availability was 2 July.

Both sides were willing to fight on that date, Boente said. However, he added that Haye and manager/trainer Adam Booth refused to allow Klitschko to take the 30 April interim fight with Chisora.

"They would not accept that, but Wladimir was not willing to wait another six months and have it be 10 months since his last fight against Sam Peter [in September]," Boente said.

Boente said Haye could also have taken an interim fight and then faced Klitschko on 2 July.

Boente informed Chisora's promoter Frank Warren that they were rescheduling the fight under the terms of their original contract. The fight will take place at the SAP Arena, where it was originally scheduled.

"I always believed that I would fight Wladimir Klitschko, and my faith has been repaid," added Chisora, the British and Commonwealth champion.

"I was a bit worried that he might try and fight an easier touch, but I think I've earned my opportunity.

"I was gutted when Wladimir pulled out of our fight just a couple of days beforehand. But now I've got another chance to take his titles away.

"He's a great world champion, but his time at the top is well and truly up.

"My promoter Frank Warren has done a great job in getting me this opportunity because there was no guarantee Wladimir would fight me again after he got injured."

Where in that article is your quote?[/QUOTE]

I was going to ask the same thing.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

No need to make up quotes, Tunney.

But....

I still dont understand why they have a problem with Wlad fighting in April. He's the champion, he can do what the *** he wants.

Haye was the one who did not want the fight in April because of the Royal Wedding. That's Haye's problem. So why should Wlad have to fit his schedule around Haye or Sky or the Royals?

I love how Haye's camp have spun this

WTF Does it matter what Klitschko does he wants to fight you July 2nd MAN THE **** UP DAVID HAYE

exactly, it doesnt matter what wladimir does, he can have a fight 1week before haye if he wants to.
robinson had every week a fight

[Pirao]

What a joke this guy is. Why the **** should Wlad not fight? He's the HW champion, he'll do whatever the **** he wants. All Haye should be worried about is July 2nd, not what Wlad does in the meantime.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's planning on wasting Wlad's time again like he did before pulling out of fights, Wlad should keep his schedule as if the Haye fight isn't going to happen, then if it happens great, if not Wlad keeps going on with his career.

I know these ****ing boxers today man. I cant believe this is the reason this fight might not happen I was expecting Haye to just keep complaining about the distribution of money but this is just sad. Haye and Klitschko should apologize to Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey all the greats who came before them for being such cowards.

Klitschko will prepare for the fight however he wants.

Haye just train and prepare to beat the best Klitschko can be.

Klitschko hopefully wins by KTFO of Haye with a straight right hand.

[Joe2608]

You can look at this arguement two ways. On one hand you can say Haye is talking bollocks, what right does he have to say who Wlad can and can't fight.
On the other hand you can say why does Wlad need to wait 3-4 months to fight british bum Chisora. He hasn't fought since Sep 11th 2010 and he wants to wait til the end of April to fight a nobody who is absolutley no threat to him whatsoever. It looks like he's doing it purely to piss off Haye, he could take this fight in late Feb/sometime in March easilly. I don't know why you would jeopardize the biggest fight of your career for a completely meaningless one.

April 30th was the date RTL gave to him. Haye/Sky didnt want to fight on that date.
