Mr Blair has indicated that he will give Northern Ireland his full attention as the key Good Friday Agreementdate, 22 May approaches, when it was intended that the process of paramilitary disarmament would have been completed.
That issue proved to be a major stumbling block to the New York City evaluations, according to Mr. Bloomberg, who said the union waited until the last minute to raise the idea of giving the agreement an expiration date.
However, they could not come to an agreement on a date and site for the fight because of conflicting schedules between RTL, the German network that features Wladimir Klitschko's fights, and Sky, the British subscription network that televises Haye's bouts on Sky Box Office pay-per-view.
