Hearn has also said he's already received calls from Parker and Wilders people wanting to arrange a fight with Bellew. I'm not surprised, it's an easy(er) fight for them, Bellew isn't a heavyweight but he's seemingly got all starry eyed over beating a far from 100% Haye & that fight wasn't a true reflection of a quality heavyweight contest. Imo, Bellew would be better off dropping back down the weight but he has the £££££ signs in his eyes now & rightly or wrongly his first priority is his family's security but that isn't what is best for his career, he's seemingly hoping for one decent pay day at heavyweight rather than the possibility of say five smaller pay days at cruiserweight. 31 minutes ago, daored said: I think a lot of it comes down to what Bellew said, he's broke, he needs the money. The fight pot was 7 million and I suspect Haye got a large percentage of that. Oh yeah, Haye couldn't afford to not fight, his corner clearly knew all about it & in all honesty Shane McGuigan has gone down in my estimations, if he was truly looking after Haye's wellbeing he would of pulled Haye out of the fight as soon as there were signs of the injury & he didn't!! That to me is poor from his trainer!! Bellew has also shot himself in the foot by opening his gob & offering the rematch, all he's got is £££££ signs in his eyes & a rematch will hold his career back!!

Kid in the Riot Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 In fairness Bellew has maybe 4/5 fights left so can't blame him for looking for the biggest fights possible now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah or 1 defeat?!? A step up to a proper, fit, in his peak heavyweight is a whole different matter compared to Haye, he's far from ready for a heavyweight title fight so would there be the money available for a one off fight? Or should he go back to where he belongs, cruiserweight & continue to defend his title? I'd suggest he's better off at cruiserweight for his career & the financial benefits.

Super Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Haye is a busted flush. Even before his injury he was hopeless. Shame as i was looking forward to AJ knocking him out, his career is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARJ Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Strange fight and disappointing. Haye should never have been in there if his achilles was as bad as the rumours say, but understand why he went through with it regardless. Sad to see my man Paulie Malignaggi go out like that too. Think it's time for him to hang 'em up, great career, but lost his speed and defensive prowess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just seen a few pictures from the fight and noticed that Haye was wearing Vivobarefoot trainers. I wear these for walking and generally knocking about in, but I can't imagine they're much good for boxing as they are minimalist shoes, basically golf gloves for your feet, and offer next to no support. I've never boxed and have no real clue what constitutes a good boxing boot, but I wonder if that was a factor in his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm not even convinced he really means it yet. Easy to imagine him watching what happened on Saturday night, the farce and drama of it all, and getting the buzz back briefly, but it's a different story once he's actually training properly again and at least vaguely living the life. I hope winning the belts back really does motivate him as much as getting them in the first place did, because if this is just an impulsive move the comeback won't end well. Be great to have even a 75% Fury back in the mix this year though. Plus, as mentioned above, he is still suspended from fighting in the UK, think his hearing is in April, so they're either reasonably confident in the outcome or this is over before it begins.

Genuinely made me laugh! Would be good to have him back, but only on top form. He's a great boxer and I don't him to do himself a disservice by not being in shape.

joe jordans teeth Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The best outcome if that fight happens is that mayweather will obviously batter him for 11 rounds and in the last mcgregor will lose his rag and give him a flying kick to the nose and a knee to the face.Mayweather is a great dispite what people say but he's a odious bloke and mcgregor ain't much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
