Comments Thread For: Haye: Vitali Klitschko Using Elections as an Excuse To Run

[MurkaMan]

What you don't understand is they don't need Haye. But Haye needs them. The Klitschko's have the entire heavyweight division on lock. They make over $ 20 M per fight regardless of who they fight. They get the Lions share of all the purses. They sell out stadiums in Russia and Germany. Which means they can fight a "bum" like Charr and make a lot of money.

David Haye is not in this financial position. He can't sell out stadiums. His only chance to make money is in freakshow fights (against ****sora) or against a Klitschko. He made the most money he's ever made against Wladimir, 10M, and that was because they split the purse 50/50.

The only reason they fought was because David Haye had the last remaining title in the HW division, WBA title. That's how he was able to get the 50/50 split.

Right now Haye has nothing that they want. He has no titles. No negotiating power. They could make as much money fighting Charr, than they could with David Haye. He knows this, so he's trying to get a shot at Vitali to make some more money.

Haye does have something SHOULD want. A REAL challenge. Dont come on here with that, "They dont need Haye" crap. They need a real fight, your talking like a damn promoter man. They need to fight someone with a pulse, and thats the biggest fight to make, so why not make it? Oh cuz they dont NEED haye, and since he is a tough challenge, they will use that as an excuse to duck him? Pathetic

... Vitali started politics 5-6 years ago so that when the biggest election of his political career was scheduled, it would be at the exact same time David started barking for yet another fight.... what a joke

all you had to to David was sign any of the previous contracts

[FlatLine]

vitali is a disgrace for ducking haye this way, he should be banned for ducking before he has a chance to quietly retire. either way, he'll always be remembered as the man who ducked the hayemaker.

That's not entirely true, is it?

Why don't you stop defending Vitali and actually admit you'd like to see this match-up.

I would say Haye Vs Vitali is the second biggest fight which can be made in boxing right now. Vitlai has shown signs of slowing down and Haye is coming off a great KO win over Chisora

[Ravens Fan]

I dont dislike Haye, I just BARELY like Haye. Man Im not a groupie like you. I dont come here to jock these fighters. Read my comment, I was genuinely impressed by Haye. I was one of the guys making fun of him most of his hw career, but things are different now. Vitali is ducking.

I am far from being a groupie and if Haye wants to really make himself relevant why is he trying to fight an old past his prime fighter and not trying to get a rematch with Wlad to correct what happened? After all I am sure he has ten healthy toes by now.

LOL......... Wlad won't give him a rematch. Vitali is the second best in the division and Haye wants to fight him. That's only a bad thing to a Klitschko fan. Your excuses are weak and quite pathetic.

DAVID NEVER SIGNED ANYTHING... that was the problem... the deadline came and went and david still hadn't signed... so vitali moved on

get your facts straight

[FrankieBruno]

Vitali is a coward
