Re: hayemaker press conference
Hayemaker should utilise YouTube like allegedly does. I know I'd be subscribed in a second.

What was to be announced at this press conference ? was it about haye or one of his shows? Does anyone think that haye is a bit young to start promoting?neil hibbert wrote:did it happen? heard a rumour it was getting cancelled last minute, not seen any news on it today
Re: hayemaker press conference
New heavyweight star David Haye still plans to lure one of those dastardly Klitschkos into a domestic or at least a European boxing ring. His proposed superfight in London with Vitali went by the board when the giant Ukrainian agreed to the showdown in principle, then turned round and announced a defence of his WBC title against Cuba's Juan Carlos Gomez in Germany on March 21. This leaves Vitali's younger brother Wladimir, another giant of a man who holds IBF and WBO versions of the world heavyweight title.
Tantalisingly, 32-year-old "Wlad" has delayed plans to announce his next challenger, despite reliable claims that Los Angeles pudding Chris Arreola would be the man. Klitschko recently derided Haye as "too small" for the current crop of heavies but one look at Arreola may have convinced him otherwise. Haye, the former undisputed world cruisweight champion, stands 6ft 3ins and weighs an impressive-looking 215 pounds, as opposed to the poundage made up largely of blubber on Arreola. Moreover, the 6ft 6ins Klitschko, who weighs around 240 pounds, seems to have taken a dislike to the cocky new kid on the block and we all know that dislike can speed up negotiations.
The confident, charismatic, quick, heavy handed Haye brings a refreshing fearlessness to the heavyweight division after cleaning up at cruiserweight. He made a stunning official debut at the weight in November in London: a rip-roaring five-knockdown stoppage of New York gatekeeper Monte Barrett. Interestingly, if nothing more than that, "Wlad" had also stopped Barrett in London. He also floored him five times.
Klitschko is known in the trade as an 'on top' fighter who has been sparked a few times when fighters refused to be intimidated and rallied hard. He was actually Haye's original target, and while Haye could still do with a few more heavyweight fights before facing either Klitschko, in my opinion (why the rush at 28?), the Londoner definitely stands more of a puncher's chance with the 'chinny' Wlad than he does with the iron-jawed Vitali.
Of course Haye looks a little suspect around the chin himself, which is what makes it all so exciting (and may explain the rush). What would you cross the street to watch, Klitschko v Arreola, or Klitschko v the swashbuckling, bomb-dropping Haye? As they say in all the worst media outlets, watch this space.
