I've got no problem with you, you where just pointing this out. But what i've got a problem with..? is people making out this is a big deal. Do you really think, K2 promotions will look at the ring ratings when they start negotiations for the rematch...? No They will look at the money generated, and the overall success of the event via internet and TV. Like i have just stated before, and i will continue to state it for how ever long "I feel like" Ring Ratings mean very little in boxing. The general public don't have a clue what they are, even boxing fans don't really care, accept the ******ed one's. Ring ratings are based purely on opinion, myth, and magic. It is a totally pointless ranking system, which has no affect, zero affect on David Haye's career. Nobody care's.
"If it makes money, it makes sense..........its as simple as that" There will be a rematch, before the year is out. And I can see it being in a arena in London. I be-leave David Haye should take a 30% 70% split on everything, due to him being the challenger. Its very simple, and i know afew people are going to try and counter attack what I'm saying right now. I could of just stated every single piece of information to back my argument up here, and totally nulifie here and now, anyone who attempts to disagree with me. But i'm tired, and i'm going to lay down.
Noticed the way i only really pay attention to, certain fighters and events in boxing. Seen the way i only really post in the British forum, seen the way i only pay attention to afew people in the British forum. I can't stand most other British fighters, and i think the majority are boring and uninspiring. If i wanted attention, i would post allot more and on almost every topic, and join in allot more. "You made me a attention seeker, you gave me that tag" All i do is talk about certain things, and slate certain people when i feel like.
Unless you can come up with something better for Adamek and Povetkin, yes. Can you? Thats exactly the case. Or you can just blow hot air, making a pointless statement.
Hint: Saying 'Haye has beat Valuev and Ruiz' isn't justification for Adamek and Arreola being above him. I'll give you a bit of a clue since you're Irish...take a look at what they've done.
Who said anything about Arreola being above him? :huh Adamek and Haye don't have much seperating them, both haven't gotten anything great so far in the division. Haye having a paper title elevated him to a lofty position, he's lost that and has been pulled back. Povetkin I would have put slightly ahead anyway, because Byrd and Chambers were decent wins before he went into hiding. You're whinging about Haye losing ranking after losing to Klitschko but I bet you never had a problem with it happening to any fighter before Haye.
Byrd and Chambers? Rahman should be up there as well, he beat Lennox Lewis. You can't dine out on things forever. There comes a point, and thats long since passed for Mr Povetkin. As for your last claim, maybe so, but I couldn't answer that because my attention has never been drawn to the movement in the rankings after any of those fights. It stands to reason we'd be talking about this in the Brit forum now rather than after any of those fights.
I think at least some of the time a top contender losing a title shot gets dropped an extra place or 2 as a way of keeping the division "fresh" after they've had their shot and lost it. Not saying thats the case here, I couldn't give a monkies about a couple of places here or there for Haye, but I think it does happen.
