Comments Thread For: Hearn: Bellew-Haye II is Virtually Dead, Impossible To Reach Deal

[OmarRueben]

pencil neck Bellew is a joke and a weak nothing & haye is a bum

Bellew is a boxing bottom feeder a scrap hunting nothing no talent who looks for UK fights after Stevenson blasted humiliated and demolished pencil neck Bellew into oblivion. Bellew never talked once about a Stevenson rematch and now Bellew acts like he is a worthy opponent for Andre Ward. Ward Ko's Bellew quickly ala Adonis. Bellew has no career and is a JOKE. Fact

[AndyShitHot]

Do either have another viable PPV fight?

How Bellew has already headlined 3 PPV cards is beyond me.

[sir ronni james]

obviously they are both idiots. but this is why its so entertaining

[kevin-novice]

It should be joshua v haye

[cally93]

Haye had 5-6 rounds to ko Bellew as he should have... Cant give him any credit as that fight should never have got to the injury point. 4 rounds tops haye should have stopped him if not ko'd. He didnt, never hurt Bellew at any point either. he was winning on points but who wanted/expected Haye to go distance?? Bellew should stick to his guns and not budge.

You make some good points, but haye brings the money, bellew can't even fill out his hometown arena (I like the guy he speaks his mind) but that's the reality of it, the fact it did over 750,000 buys is more down to haye if anything.
Obviously bellew played his part but his last ppv (remember cleverly) was an absolute dud both in ppv buys and the fight itself.

Plus the injury was so blatant it looked like haye was injured before the 1st bell even rang.
Plus I think it's clear bellew has no intention of fighting the other Heavyweights he keeps calling out Parker (who he rightly so believes is the weak link) but if Parker lands on him he will put bellew away for sure.

Your right though haye finishing him off early but his timing was way off and I believe he was injured before the fight. (Remember the rumours circling days before the fight about haye flying to Germany to see a specialist?)

Doesn't matter how he beat you...he BEAT you. You even said after the fight Bellew is A-side so you have to defer to a lot of his demands now. Haye full of ****. Bellew has to be somewhat realistic with his demands though. But if it doesn't happen I really hope Bellew vs Parker/Fury winner for the WBO title happens. Still have concerns about that fight going ahead, as no broadcaster has been confirmed and I thought it was going on PPV.

Yes i agree, financially its the best option for both, any other opponent for bellew is high risk with not enough reward, Haye is aware of this so is trying to pull it in his favour, fact is they both need each other, financially and moving forward for Haye on to his desired big money fight with AJ. if H.Fury can beat Parker and I think it is possible, Bellew v Fury would be a big fight in the uk. Still not as big as haye though. The build up is what really sold the first fight, Haye took the risk coming in injured, over confident that all it would take is one shot but never landed flush enough to cause problems.

Totally agree. He was dragging his foot around and throwing weird arm punches from the start. Thought he could smash Bellew up before anyone noticed the ankle.

I think the ship has sailed for Haye and Joshua now, btw. If Haye makes it into this rematch with Bellew he'll win a laboured decision. He's done at the top level.

This is what happens when egos get involved. The sad thing is, who cares? Certainly not the fans. When was the last time you even noticed who's name was first on the poster, or cared who came out first for the ring walk? It's pathetic.

In my mind, Haye needs to let it go if he wants to avenge his loss. Haye needs Bellew more, Bellew has the win and can move on. There's no moving on for Haye.

To be fair, Haye had more than enough time before his tendon went to stop Bellew, who never remotely looked shaken by a Hayemaker, so my guess is he's lost it.
