Comments Thread For: Klitschko Fires Back at Haye, Booth Over "Coward" Jab

[Evil Abed]

Haye should retire.

Fake fighters don't belong in boxing.

Who is the one that could have fought his mando this winter but preferred to fight fraudley?

There would be no worries about a mandatory if Haye had put on a REAL fight last winter.

Thats also another issue that has been swept under the carpet. If Haye had agreed to the 50/50 deal last year, we could've already had the fight. Once again, Booth and Haye are spinning it like they've bent over backwards to make it happen, when they are the ones who've been ducking, dodging and dragging it out for 2 years.

The K-Bros are making him pay for all his mistakes. It's funny to watch.

Haye is only another challenger, like Eddie Chambers or Tony Thompson. This was never a "once in a lifetie fight" for Wladidmir. For Haye it is, but for Wlad this was no different than Fighting Chagaev or Ibragimov. There is no concern about Wlad's legacy, because he has it by volume.

HBO, Showtime or ESPN doesn't even want the Klitschko's so what's his point with the demands? Nobody really cares about those boring @$$ brothers.

I love how you mention only American networks. Then claim no one cares! LMAO. Dude the Klitschko's are the biggest thing since sliced bread in Europe. Just because Americans find them boring, doesn't mean the rest of the world feels the same way.

Hayden knows the fight game better than all you Haye jock strap riders put together.

How about HAYDEN versus HAYE July 2 at MSG?

Haye might duck her as well.

HBO didn't drop them because Americans "think they are boring" anyway.

Vitali's last HBO fight was the highest rated fight on the network in 2009.

Ross Greenberg at HBO doesn't like them fighting in Germany, because the start times are usually Sat. afternoon in the US, when people are watching college football, etc.

He never said they were boring.

He also said he wants Haye vs (either) Klitschko, and (either) Klitschko versus Adamek, if those fights can be made.

But why should the K-Bros stop fighting in Germany where they can fill 50,000 seat arenas?

As Vitali said, if there is a worthy American opponent (or someone like Adamek who is US-based), they will fight in the US again.

It's obvious that Haye is trying to win the fight outside the ring, Wlad just won't let him. Haye is crying like the spoiled brat who didn't get his cookie. Why should Wlad respect Haye and hid demands? Haye has been nothing but disrespectful to the brothers.

Good points. Also, HBO's boxing budget has decreased tremendously over the past few years, so they can really only afford the worthy fights. I guess Vitali-Briggs doesn't fall in that catagory. Let me ask you this tho, If a K-bro - Haye fight does happen, it will most likely be in Germany or London, how do you think HBO would deal with that time differential?

[americanbot]

thats my limit. wlad is a JOKE.

wlad won't get ANY props when he's retired.
