    I won't be buying it, but I don't expect that to make any impact on their wallets or that it'll even be noticed by anyone else, and nor do I particularly want it to be. It's just a personal thing, I KNOW whats gonna happen in this fight, I don't think it's worth paying for to watch the result.

    I'd rather be out on the lash or in bed with the missus on a Saturday night then watching 2 or 3 hours of Haye and Audley having 'fake' arguments before Haye sparks him out before 10 mins of boxing has been on.

    I'd pay for Haye v a Klit because they're fights I'm interested in seeing, and though I fancy the Klits to beat Haye, I don't think these fights are a foregone conclusion.

    I'd trade up a good **** up or a night of nookie to watch 2 or 3 hours of real needle and build-up before two top heavyweights get in the ring to settle their scores.

    Just my opinion.

    I support Airdrie United and pay £15 to wach Scottish second division league football every week. This is a bargain compared to having to endure 90 mins of sitting on my arse freezing.

    I'm not sure it's just 'hardcore boxing fans', I go on football forums and there are many posts saying this match up is a pile of shite and a joke.

    Sure, there are a fair few of the general public who can't wait for it, but there's also a fair amount who think this match up is a total joke too, imho.

    People just don't get it....:lol:

    So people are speaking about boxing on a football forum..?

    So this fight has enranged people that bad, there picking up the phone and ring Sky...? :lol:

    Thats power, thats interests........thats GOOD.

    This fight is box office, and will be the biggest BIGGEST, domestic fight since Nigel Benn vs Chris Eubank.

    Who gives a flying shite how much it sells or how much Audley or Haye make?

    Why the hell do you care how much it makes?

    I tune in to watch a competitive boxing match, not the sight of a $ sign.

    Sure, all boxing is about money, but there are also limits to how much exploitation fans of the sport can take.

    I dont think it's as attractive to the more hardcore fans as Haye v Enzo Mac was for a start. It might do better viewing figures, but that's more to do with the 'freak show event' element than people actually wanting to see a competitive fight.

    Gaz, I couldn't care about numbers, couldn't care how many millions Haye or Audley make out of it either.

    I know boxing is funded by money, it's dictated to, run by it, but there is a line that really shouldn't be crossed and this match up crosses it big time, imho.

    This is a competitive boxing match. Have you bought into all that bull**** the media has said about Audley Harrison..? you been brained washed you little no mark..? you not got a mind of your own..?

    This is a massive event....thats what boxing used to be, and needs more of it. It's not about backyard fights, that nobody talks about or has no opinion about.

    Boxing is a business and this is big business.

    Audley Harrison has a bigger following than David Haye, more people are following him on Twitter than David Haye, Audley Harrison had to make two facebook pages. What fans of being exploited...?

    Infact i can't even be bothered speaking to you, **** off you ****.

    How dear you quote me....

    Bredrin.............I'm serious like a heart attack.

    Trussssssssht.

    Nice photo::lol:

    I've never defended the fight on boxing grounds, but its not exactly setting a precident where boxing is concerned. Lets just watch the fights and hope Wlad-Haye happens in 2011...
