Did Haye go to Miami to keep away from the press as he was injured

Post by Controversial »

Conspiracy theory time. Did Haye deliberately take himself away as he knew he was injured and he didn't want the press to see that he wasn't training properly? Maybe that's why McGuigan wasnt with him at the start. Very little footage of him doing any serious training, with hindsight maybe it was a deliberate ploy.

Personally think that was just Sky building the fight. "Look everyone, Haye isn't even training, Bellew could really win this. Buy our PPV"

Aye, definitely gives a bit of context to those clips of him doing pads on the yacht rather than actual gym footage. Then again he was in good trim so he must have done some work. I thoght the same though before the fight, is he hiding something? Never suspected the achilles though, always thought it would be a shoulder thing.

Haye usually trains abroad, doesn't he?

He goes to Miami because he's a big pretentious party boy. Yeah he trains but he obviously enjoys the play boy lifestyle. Fair play to him. Most single guys would give both their nuts to live the life out there.

He did a few camps in Turkey - not sure what the reasons were, if there was some tax scam or something.

He even used to wear the Turkish flag on his shorts, but that has now disappeared and nothing is ever mentioned - anybody know what happened?

Wasn't that to do with Booth? Haye built a gym out there but I think Booth is half Turkish Cypriot

Yeah, in virtually all fights you see the boxer in some kind of footage going through his paces, often in a gym. I saw Haye on a boat sipping on some drink - albeit looking extremely confident - with some very attractive blonde female in a blouse uniform pouring drinks.
