Would you buy a Haye - Audley PPV?

Maybe PK was right after all.

I'm not saying that I can't afford three quid, I'm saying that I wouldn't pay three quid to see a complete and total mismatch. One which, as far as I'm concerned, has no entertainment value whatsoever - especially if Audley is merely stopped on his feet.

And I don't have many friends who would encourage such grotesque match-ups to be put on PPV by actually putting money towards it. ****ing good on them

Come on, you know people do that on here. So much false bravado on ESB, you can almost feel it seeping through your screen.

Would you ever buy something you didn't want? It's hardly a moral stance, at least not from my standpoint anyway (I can't speak for everyone else); it's up to people what they spend their cash on. I wouldn't ever say 'well, I don't like flip-flops so I'll never buy shoes again on principle'.

Haye-Harrison = Flip-flops I don't want.
Haye-Wlad = Trainers I want to buy.

But you know most of those people probably did pay for the fight. I caved at the last minute for Hatton/Lazcano. The only PPV I've not bought in the past 5 or 6 years is Hatton/Malignaggi.

i just like to avoid the feeling of being robbed after the main event ends in less than a couple of minutes.

In reality, you're robbing them though.

Your resistance is futile, but whatever floats your boat.

Haye-Harrison = Flip-flops I don't want.
Haye-Wlad = Trainers I want to buy.

Haye/Wlad = trainers that have not been invented yet.
Haye/Harrison = trainers that are of some use to me now.

No, but it means their entrenched stance prior was a mere facade. I do think there's a bit of attention seeking among people who say they won't pay for a fight and give some spurious reasons as to why.

"Nah mate, I ain't buying that shit. I'd rather spend the evening in the local curry house, being served plates of cancer, then go and have a raaaaah at the local boozer. I'm a hard cunt."

Haye-Harrison = pickled onion space raiders
Haye-Wlad = roast beef monster munch

If it's space raiders or nothing, I suppose I'll buy 'em...

It's boxing fans that have turned into bitches. Constantly whinging and defending "their man" tooth and nail. It's hilarious.
