    Yea thats right. Im not saying Audley is a world beater or anything. But the comment was Vitali beat williams (unlike audley he battered him).
    Which is exactly what Audley did in the second fight. Probably his best performance

    You have to appreciate the similarities though. in order to become more well known in the US Wlad ****ed Hayden Pantyhair. In order to become more well known in the UK Haye is going to **** Audley Harrison.

    I'm an American i know we and the brits have had our differences in the past but i refuse to believe the k-bros are virtually unknown in the UK...I would give the average fan a little more credit. They cannot be that ignorant of the international scene.

    The reason this is generating more publicity is because it is 2 UK fighters...of course they will get publicity there. the international publicity has also been increased but as a negative...mostly dissappointment at haye's ducking of Wlad and choice of A-Farce

    Haye vs. Venus Williams would probably generate even more press but it'd still be a mismatch.

    I didn't say Haye was a *****. What I said was that many of the UK fans that I have talked to think he's much more popular around that world than he really is. Adam Booth himself recently said that Haye would be crucified in the international press if he took the fight with Audley. International press? What international press?

    At the very least, the average Klitschko figh is now on ESPN, so they will create more interest than the Audley fight.

    :D She's pretty hot, so good for Wlad. But she's a B list celebrity at best right now. If he wanted to really get his name out there he'd go after Snooki or one of those bubble-braine Kardashian sisters.

    It is definatly gettin more interest and hype than people think it deserves, i personally see no problem in it, as a Haye fan it aint the fight i wanted, i believed hed of faced one or both Klitchkos by the end of this year, but im only a fan theres no point gettin worked up about it.

    But 2 well known UK boxers, 1 a heavyweight world champ it was always guna get a bit of attention. And we all know UK papers love to get behind the Brits while they are on the up, 1 slip and they turn on you like a pack of wolves though.

    However i would struggle to believe that this fight would get more PPV numbers than Haye v either Klitchko. I know enough boxing fans that will shun this fight who would never shun a fight v Vlad or Vitali.

    The average boxing fan knows who the Klits are, but the average random person knows Audley Harrison. He got a lot of mileage out of the Gold Medal.

    Haye worked damn hard to try make a name for himself in America and he did get people talking and wondering about him but by not facing either brother hes pretty much ruined all his hard work.

    But all he has to do is get rid of Harrison easy and quick then start chirping up about the brothers again and he will be back to where he was.

    :roll:So unpopular they can fill 50,000 seaters. I'll bet a lot of boxers would love to be that unpopular, anywhere in the world.
