Do you think Wlad and Haye actually hate each other

[bojangles1987]

Nope.Haye is merely a self-promoter and Wlad isn't ******.Deep down,Wlad probably appreciates the fact that Haye has helped make this fight as big as it is.He's fought boxers on the same level or even superior to Haye in the past,but none of his fights have ever garnered the level of interest that this fight has.




That face off crap is heavily edited and fake as hell.It's used to sell the fight to the brain dead casual fanbase that may not be too familiar with either fighter and their backstory.

If it was just the face-off where we saw this stuff, then I'd agree, but Haye has spent two years talking trash and being a d*ck to Wlad and Vitali. I think Wlad has a legitimate dislike, but not hate, of Haye.

[S.G.]

I don't think Haye thinks any which way of Wlad, he's just trying to wind him up and promote the fight. Wlad, I think, is genuinely annoyed by Haye's antics, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he hates him. I'm sure he's aware that it's all a part of the game, but that doesn't mean he has to like being mocked and denigrated.

I think Wlad REALLY hates Haye,but Haye really doesn't care.

hate is just a psychological tool to motivate oneself,nothing else. haye's hate isn't really genuine,he is trying to convince himself he is a superhero and wlad to be the bad guy,it's clear he took some of this from the movies.
wlad doesn't really hate him imo. he's just playing the game along with haye although he might have been genuinely annoyed a few times.

I think after the fight you will see them being pals with a lot of mutual respect. This is all hype and helps puts bums on seats. No doubt they dont care much for each other, but once they have finished fighting you will see the brown nosing from both sides

I doubt this. If that would be the case, signs of contact would have been noticeable before all this. The press and groupies follow the Klitschkos everywhere and everything they do is noted. Haye probably too but to a much lesser extent.

I believe that Klitschko has nothing but contempt and disdain for Haye, restrained though it may be. As for Haye, he is such a split personality specimen that it's difficult to say.

The face off thing was halarious. But do you think its genuwine. Im not saying these two are best maTES. But was iut good axcting on their half to promote the fight, and after both were laughin thinking "we re gonna make a **** load of money from this"

Or do wlad and haye actually really hate each other and Wlad was not play acting when he looked like he was going to punch Haye.

Poll coming.

I think they have real dislike for each other but also know that itz good for the fight to hype it up. Vlad was going to punch Haye tho or at least he wanted to. Itz going to be a great fight while it lasts and i really don't care who wins but haye is gettin under the giants skin bad.

All of Klitschko's fights, from the beginning were HUGE in Europe, he packed arenas everywhere. Of course less so in insular E gland, but as he wasn't fighing in England it didn't matter. I'd venture an opinion that although this fight has aroused more interest it is mainly in England, since, as I say, Klitschko is HUGE everywhere else it counts. Even in the US he was well liked. The HBO team used to go into rhapsodies about him.

In fact in the -I think- Mercer after-fight commentary, Merchant said ".....He's so perfect, I wonder what is wrong with him....".

The guy came into pro boxing with a sterling reputation, was the heavyweight Olympic team choice, and expected to walk over everyone. When V Klitschko was barred from the SUPER heavy div because of that unwitting use of a medically prescribed steroid for a leg injury, W Klitschko was pushed up into his super slot, although weighing less than 200. He walked through everyone, therefore became a natural for great fame and fortune.

I still think he despises Haye.
