Haye, Maloney part company
Cruiserweight world champion David "The Hayemaker" Haye has amicably severed ties with promoter Frank Maloney, ending a successful two-year promotional relationship. Haye, 27, began his association with Maloney in early 2006, during his run as European cruiserweight champion. Aided by Maloney, Haye successfully negotiated three defenses of the EBU title in 2006, including a WBC title eliminator. The link-up eventually culminated in Paris in November 2007 when Haye dethroned WBC and WBA world champion Jean-Marc Mormeck. Maloney and Haye part company at a time when ‘The Hayemaker’ appears to be at the peak of his powers, both physically and promotionally. The WBA/WBC champion added the WBO version to his collection on March 8, 2008 when he dramatically knocked out domestic rival Enzo Maccarinelli in front of 20,000 fans at London’s O2 Arena. Haye plans to make his first major heavyweight splash towards the end of the year and has targeted a world heavyweight title shot in 2009.

Inevitable.
I just hope Haye doesn't try to chart a solitary path and get frozen out.
He should align himself with a major promoter, Arum, King or GBP

Yes agreed - As much as I like seeing fighters get the biggest slice of the cake possible, from the fans point of view I think David will get the biggest fights quickest if he starts dealing with the promoters you mention.

Exactly what was Maloney's input in Haye's last two fights? King staged the Mormeck fight and it was Warren who made the Maccaranelli superfight.

I seriously hope he doesn't get into promoting himself.

I think he will be doing most of his next fights on a fight-by-fight basis with whomever the other guy's promoter is.
Don King, GoldenBoy etc will all be after his signature i'm sure.

he needs a UK promoter, no point going over the pond with no fan base in UK

Warren would be a good bet if he can negotiate himself final say in which fights he's going to take (unlikely)

This isn't new news, his last fight under contract to Maloney was against Mormeck.

I think he has already aligned himself with GBP (Great Britain Pounds, and US Dollars as well).

Only when they have a fighter at 140 and below.
The fights only happen when Oscar signs them both too.

Audley Harrison and David Haye are pals they will not fight each other unless they have to.
When they do - no no and no I am sorry it won't happen - but go on lets play the game - Haye will smash Harrison quicker than he did Maccarinelli.
