By Sean McDaniel: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s didn’t sound too hopeful about a fight between him and the Klitschko brothers happening in 2011 in an interview with the BBC Sport. Haye, 30, wants the Klitschko brothers to give him a better deal that what was offered to him in the past in the other two failed negotiations, and he feels that he makes more money than the Klitschko brothers. This is what Haye had to say about a potential fight with the Klitschkos: “Next year. There’s only so many Dereck Chisoras and he [Wladimir Klitschko] can fight. There’s only so many Shannon Briggs his brother [Vitali] can fight. People are really bored. People are really sad seeing him beat up on those useless guys with no chance whatsoever. I’m the only fight out there that can give as good as he got, and they know that. They’re used to guys that just come and look for a pay check. I am not that type of guy. I generate more money than they do. They don’t know how to deal with that. So until they come and sit down at the negotiating table properly, the fight aint going to happen. But I have a feeling when they see how much money they generate from the Chisora and Shannon Briggs fights, they’ll realize the only place to come. All roads lead to the Hayemaker.”

Haye is probably right about the Klitschkos coming to him again with a new frame of mind for negotiations. They don’t have a lot more time before Haye retires. However, it’s a fight that would be so much better if Haye would face younger fighters before taking on the Klitschkos. Haye has been fighting guys that are near 40 since moving up to the heavyweight division in 2008, and the 39-year-old Audley Harrison, who Haye fights on November 13th, is more of the same. Haye needs to make believers out of boxing fans and he’s failed to do that by fighting exclusively fighters in their late 30s like 38-year-old Monte Barrett, 38-year-old John Ruiz and 36-year-old Nikolay Valuev.

Wladimir and Vitali have offered Haye a 50-50 deal, which would include the television revenue for the fight. However, Haye wants to keep that separate while the Klitschkos want that to be thrown in the pot.
