Why hasn't Haye fought Fury?

[Deathknight88]

Vitali calling Haye saying he will KO Haye and it's his goal to beat Haye, is not a valid reason?

Haye losing to Wlad isn't a reason for the Vitali-Haye fight not to happen, Vitali didn't beat Haye.

You're are right maybe people will want to see Price etc in the future, but they may not and they don't now. Pretty pointless argument there.

This fight has the most interest, most money to be made, is the most personal and in many people's eyes the most competitive fight in the division. There's no good argument for Vitali not to take this fight if he continues his career.

Haye good fighter

This may very well be, but it doesn't change the fact that Fury has been calling out Price and Haye. If you search his twitter account I'm sure this will be substantiated.

You really are naive, aren't you?

Because Haye has been trying to fight Vitali for over a year. He even flattened Chisora to get the Vitali fight but that made Vitali run even further away unfortunately.

What a fucking ****** thread.

Haye would have made more money fighting Fury than being on reality tv. If he felt he could ko Fury so easily, it would have made sense to take the fight as it would have increased the public's appetite for a fight against Vitali. It would have given Haye an opportunity to demonstrate his skills which people now think are overrated because of the Wlad fight. The other things is, reality tv is watched mostly by women and teenage girls. How is this going to increase interest in a heavyweight boxing match? If it was a strategic move, it was a wierd one.

Whether Haye was after money or trying to increase interest in a fight with Vitali, both would have been better served by fighting Fury than going into the outback.

I don't think you grasp how lucrative being on a prime time reality show is for Haye. He has gathered a new fanbase and will lead to endorsement deals and if he chooses to carry on fighting that means a bigger payper view audience. Haye wants to get in to the entertainment buinesss, thus a show like this helps him get exposure to the everyday public,most whom don't care or watch boxing. People don't go on these shows for fun, it's all to do with exposure to lead on to better things.

Fury doesnt bring big money, thats the fact of the matter, Haye has nothing to gain. Haye just wants big money or a title shot and is waiting for Vitali, which then will lead on to Wlad. Fighting Fury is a waste of time, he's a bum.
