DAVID HAYE swore blind recently he would not fight Audley Harrison. But it looks like he has changed his mind. Word is a press conference has been arranged for early September, when it is expected the fight will be confirmed for November 13 in Manchester. It's a showdown not many in the boxing business will like. But it will sell well to the wider public, as they know both fighters well. Barry Hearn's son Eddie, who promotes Harrison, claims it is a £10million fight. That seems optimistic as, other than the gate, the only source of income will be UK PPV sales. It will have to shift around 700,000 to generate £10m. HBO said they would not touch an Audley fight. The truth is, on his past performances, he does not really deserve a shot at Haye's WBA heavyweight title. He's got into this position courtesy of a lucky KO punch against Michael Sprott when he won the European title. That should serve as a warning to Dave. On paper, he's rightly a massive favourite but he's also vulnerable. If he gets clipped, it could be all over. For all his faults Harrison can punch. For me, Harrison is not the best option for Dave right now. Ex-cruiserweight king Tomasz Adamek scored a points win over former world title challenger Michael Grant at the weekend. Adamek was been born in Poland, but he is now resident in New Jersey, and is a name in the States. And if Haye fought him, HBO would definitely get involved.
Dont have a clue mate, just copied an article off of The Sun which had been posted on the net. also another source said there will be a final decison in 2 weeks time, which is when they are planning the supposed press conferance, but dont hold your breath on it. G
It reads like an article, not a post. If it IS an article then the source would help us gauge how much credibility it has...... edit: I guess its Warrens column?
Another Link here only the bottom part is really relevant http://www.***********.com/?m=show&id=30426 meant to be "boxing scene" all one word G
I don't read too much into it then, and I may be in the minority but I don't think he is intending to fight Harrison. I just hope that he makes his ****ing mind up and announces something soon. If it is Harrison he still needs to allow for enough time to promote the fight. I think he may have been working on Chagaev but is looking at venues since he can't get a license in the UK. Who knows?
It's a typical Warren post. He still can't get over Haye not wanting him. Also, rumours aside - there is no indication other than from Hearn and Harrison that Haye is even interested in fighting them. I don't understand why this keeps getting brought up.
How can he fight Adamek then when he was cut to shreds? On the evidence of the grant fight Haye would batter Adamek anyway!!!
Yes we are Claypole. Remember the childish ***** coming on twitter saying ''It is amusing all the **** that's been said. You'll find out in a couple of days and you'll understand''. Be quiet you *****.
