Haye’s manager heads for Germany to resolve ticketing war
May 2nd, 2011 - 4:16 pm ICT by ANILondon, May 2 (ANI): The trainer and manager of British boxer David Haye’s, Adam Booth, will travel to Germany this week in a bid to end the ticketing war which threatens the world heavyweight clash against Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in July.
WBA champion Haye and WBO and IBF belt holder Klitschko were set to hold press conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday in Hamburg and London to publicize their July 2 showdown - but both were cancelled on Saturday night, with Haye’s camp claiming ticket allocations for the fight were unsatisfactory.
According to the Daily Express, Haye believes his supporters have been given the cheapest tickets in the 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena in Hamburg and is adamant that he will not fight unless he gets a fair deal for his supporters.
Klitschko’s camp, however, believes his stance is just another attempt to pull out of the bout. (ANI)
