    This whole garbage has been scripted for a PPV trilogy.

    Once the maximum cash is extracted from the PPV mugs, both retire and sail off with the loot.

    It is amazing that mugs keep falling for it.

    Spot on.

    Boxing is not a sport any more, it is an event that is sold to the unluckiest buyer...

    And the fake participants walk away a little more well off afterwards...

    But as per usual, most of the numbers in the UK just do not realise that everything is designed to extract money out of them...

    Instead they buy it they look forward to it, they even believe they are getting good value, but always wake up the next day after a great night before wishing they had not.

    I've gone Haye by ko/tko. I think if he is 20% better and with 2 legs, he will stop Tony. The first fight Haye came in injured. I see Haye taking his time, not pushing his body (incase) and nailing Tony sometime in the fight. The last thing you loose is your power.

    Are you saying Haye planned his own Achilles tendon rupturing, which cost him the fight even though he was a strong favourite and was ahead at the time?

    If Haye had won hardly anyone would have demanded a rematch and Haye would have gone straight for the "proper" heavyweights with big money returns.

    I'm all for a conspiracy, but I can't see it in this one.

    The buildup of these events are likely scripted but it makes me laugh when people say the fights are. You can tell in boxing, it’s not wrestling. I know someone that thinks price took a dive and pay day the other week. Funny stuff. Yeah There have been fixed fights in the past of course, and mayweather v mcgregor was as scripted as I have seen in a fight, but as said, you can tel in boxing. The only set up around this fight is belles knows haye is a physical mess, and is banking on this.

    Haye looks to me, in physique like an exceptional crossfit athlete, but his boxing skills look vastly diminished. I watched some old footage of him on the pads with Adam Booth and that ability seems long gone in comparison to what I've seen him doing recently with Salas and McGuigan. That said, I actually fancy him to catch Bellew with a big enough shot to stop him this time.

    Bellew looked sharp on the pads too. It looks like he’s gone for less weight / more speed this time around.

    It seems as if the promoters decide who wins a fight, not always, but seems to be happening way too much! Corruption in boxing needs to stop, but I guess we will never see it happen...............

    The concern for Haye is if he doesn't get this won inside 6. The later it goes the more trouble I can see Haye getting himself into.

    I thought that. He looks close to 200ib, which as clearly given him more speed & movement. Haye looks like he’s trimmed a few pounds, probably around 215-218ib to me. He will go into this rematch a stone heavier again imo. He was throwing that over-hand right which looked decent but you know it’s coming.

    I think people are overlooking how poor Bellew actually is.

    How poor the WBC Champion is? The fella who hasn’t lost in 5 years. Unbeaten since moving up to cruiser (and above). (9 fights is it). Only two losses his whole career (I think?).

    He’s one of Britain’s best of the last decade.

    Yeah him, he's poor.

    Who's he beat in 5 years ? Dos Santos, Worst PPV ever with Cleverly, Makubu, BJ Flores (who at one point threw himself to the canvas WWE style) and a one legged sitting duck Haye.
