    Any of you lot been mugged off into going to this WWE style clown show of a fight??

    There are absolutely tons of tickets left...Even ringside...

    I imagine it is due to the pricing ,£100 for back of arena seats...LOLZ ,how did they hope to sell out when pricing out the casuals and i am pretty sure the hardcore dont want to go watch this??...i suspect this is why we had this at the face off

    Not surprised, we all know it's not ppv worthy. I will miss it as am on a plane during the fight, will catch it on tube afterwards.

    Haye by KO.

    Every "bigger" fight since Haye moved up to HW have been WWE type events. I would be surprised if there would be a normal buildup for once with him involved.

    If he loses now, he really has to retire, because hardly anyone would take him serious after.

    I wouldn't bother...a couple of decent scraps on card though.

    PPV and £100 for a cheap seat!!! Hearn might have overstepped the mark with this one..

    Didnt Haye v Audrey Harrison kill PPV on SKY last time?

    That is some ripped off prices and even the casuals are voting with their feet, rightly so. Remember bellew v cleverly ppv too. Want numbers to bomb so these kind of fights goes on regular sky.

    Yeah, Haye really was persona non grata for a long time with Sky afterwards.

    A usually reliable mate reckons PPV sales have been so poor that it may yet end up on sky sports main event.

    Alot of people realise that Haye is finished and Bellew is just looking for a final payday. Neither is going anywhere W, L or D after this one.

    On stubhub for more or less face value and loads still on Matchroom website for sale too...This is basically PPV because Hearn and Bellew are mates....It is a joke ,i really hope it bombs..

    I just cannot get my head around this actual fight...there is no point of it apart from lining their pockets

    Them lads on YouTube who are not even fighters were more interesting than this

    We all know the first one was an absolute joke but the numbers it done were astonishing. They really were. 750k ppv buys or may 890 or something. Can’t be bothered googling it again but defo somewhere between them numbers. It was a roaring success. That’s why they were so keen to do it again. The mad thing is that in boxing terms it’s a much, much more intriguing event this time. It’s a lot closer and has a better all round card.

    I’m out to watch it so won’t be buying.
