    £20 is obscene. Programs at £5 are crazy.

    Blow up the photo of him and Rio and see how skinny his ankles are. Haye is naturally a very skinny man. He is however a mesomorph like Roy Jones. Lucky ****.

    I appreciate the mentality behind creating it, I would do the same if I was famous just to say I had my own magazine etc

    I won't buy it but I like haye more for launching a massive vanity project.

    If I buy that at the MEN then it'll be money for nothing because I leave in a pub/ taxi/ club before I get it home.:D

    That will bomb for £20. Nobody will buy that,it will fail at that price point horribly. The boxing market is not that big without shooting yourself in the foot :patsch

    serious point, can you imagine if hatton or khan made the exact same mag - the personal abuse they would take on here would be unreal. "arrogant, up their own arses etc"

    and no way would i pay £20. you could buy 2 or 3 top class boxing books online for that

    Pompous and vain.

    I don't know who's giant ego Haye's trying to match, But i think Dave might be losing the plot a little here, and i know he's trying to promote a fight but there's been far too much David Haye crowding for attention lately... like he's standing in the seat in front of you, spoiling your view of the fights. Lol.

    Reminds me of a fighter/promoter/writer who anytime he speaks on boxing alienates the genuine boxing fans with lies, arrogance, delusion or in the case of a writer vast literary pretentions.

    Some of you are so melodramatic and reactionary. It's one of those things I would glance at in Smith's and buy if I thought it was decent.

    Thing is if he was going for a vanity project he'd have been better to do a glossy opus style book for £100+. It's not like anyone will be interested in the editorial content especially when cover story has been leaked to Sunday papers.
