Comments Thread For: Haye: Beating Fury May Not Be Enough To Get Shot

Wlad didn't look particularly good in that fight. Haye was just worse.

Wlad looked pretty good against a quick challenger, down the stretch he looked pretty comfortable actually, all the flopping to the ground just made it look like Wlad wasn't doing much but that was Hayes fault. I can't fault Wlad in that fight, he fought a guy who people said was his most dangerous opponent in years.

The difference is, Charr doesn't have an ego and Haye does. Haye thinks that he is the Floyd Mayweather of the Heavyweight Division.

And rightfully so, Vitali and his brother are also tough at the negotiating table. Hell, if you're the champion and until you get knocked off your throne, why not. If Haye was dead set on getting a shot at either brother and worry about the big paydays later, he could easily make these fights. Instead he wants to be treated as an EQUAL, and he is not their equal despite what he thinks he is worth because of his mouth.

Except that Haye conceded 65% in December 2011, signed the contract and waited for Vitali who then fought Chisora instead. That's what led to the press conference brawl in the first place.

He has said many times that he is not champion so he doesn't expect a 50/50 cut. But whether you or the k bros like it or not, Haye does generate the same amount of money as they do via Sky PPV. Now, it is also clear that Vitali would make more money fighting Haye than anyone else, so why not make the fight?
