    I think you should have taken off Martinez & added Canelo as much as I actually like Canelo. But I voted for Mayweather. The guy can probably beat everyone but he's just too scared to lose that 0. It's a shame really.

      p4p rated, undefeated Bradley, not that long ago. JMM is apparently punching way harder than in his prime fwiw

        Pretty sure they were around for the Wlad fight. Looks like they were copromoting him well into 2011:

        The heavyweight triangle between David Haye, Ruslan Chagaev and Alexander Povetkin was explained by Frank Bleydorn, a representative of Sauerland Event. Sauerland is the co-promoter of Haye and the sole promoter of Povetkin. Bleydorn issued a statement that Chagaev is still the mandatory challenger to Haye's WBA crown. Chagaev's participation in the fight has fallen under question due to his exposure to Hepatitis B. The British Board of Control is likely not going to approve him to fight in the UK.


        Funny how he never realized these benefits of working with Sauerland until he signed on to fight Sauerland promoted Valuev. A lot of fighters realize the benefits of working with Don King after downing his fighter.

            Sauerland didn't promote the Wlad fight. Haye conveniently fought Audley Harrison instead of the richest fight he could make.

            I'm sure we can both agree that Don King and Sauerland do not go about their business in similar fashion.

              That article says they were still his copromoter in 2011. His next fight was Wlad.

              I dunno, Sauerland doesn't have a great rep either. They probably never killed a guy, but they've done a lot worse than asking for options on their HW champ.

              You're a smart guy, I don't think you're this naive. You must be very invested in Haye somehow

                I'm pretty are there was a time scale for that contract, not a number of fights. Sure I mean, Sauerland have had a few shows where some of the opponents got robbed. Holyfield - Valuev, Murray - Sturm, Chisora - Helenius.

                Sure they have. One option is fair. But three? That's ridiculous. And Haye isn't the only one who's complained about it before.

                Why am I naive? And please take what I've written and not what Dirk is trying make out I said.

                    You might be right.

                    But I'm not small. And I'm not a twat - something I'm sure your illiterate mind doesn't even fathom the meaning of.

                      Then you're a big twat
