    No doubt been done before, and i'll probably end up watching this fight, but on a deeper level I feel like a total ****ing hypocrite, contributing to the corrosion of something I love. Tolerate this and Haye may end up fighting RJJ at Wembley next Should we vote with our £££s and leave this **** for the gullible mainstream?

    Your thoughts please...and feel free to disagree vehemently. Your opinions are valued.

    You're correct. If every true boxing fan boycotted this, it wouldn't make a dent. This is a mainstream fight for people that know little about boxing, the sort who really appreciate Prizefighter. I shouldn't complain, I'll watch it but I won't pay for it.

    This would redeem the fight to a certain extent. Anything less than total domination by Haye is unacceptable. Sprott gave A-Force all he could handle, if Haye struggles against Audley he'll become boxings biggest joke.

    It's the principle man, if you believe that strongly in something, then take action. Becoming a vegetarian won't stop animals being killed, but.....

    Having said that, I'm watching it, and I might even buy it. I said before that I would watch it in a bar, but now I might just buy the fight. The closer this fight gets, the more excited I am about it.

    No way will i be paying for this. Not in a million years. The fight actually doesn't interest me. Very much doubt i'll watch it. The thought of lining the pockets of either of these two frauds sickens me. Harrison has no business fighting for a world title, and Haye should hang his head in shame for trying to hype this up, after initially challenging the Klits, and then vanishing. I don't believe the grudge is genuine either. PPV really is a joke these days. I'm a boxing fan, but i just can't buy into this.

    Why boycott it? It's a good fight with an intresting build up. Audley is hardly the second coming of Joe Louis but his rivalry with Haye and his power makes this a great event. If Audley lands on David's chin he can knock him out cold. The same can't be said for other, more deserving fighters at heavyweight. After this, Haye should fight Wladimir next year.

    Will probably catch it in whichever bar I'm in around 10:30pm on 13th November, then catch Pac-Margo at the casino later. :deal

    No. The match itself generates interest, hype and money.

    What is the ****ed up thing is just Haye alone. After all the stunts he's pulled, I'm sure many including myself are upset that he hasn't fought a Klitschko.

    If he doesn't fight one of them next, I will be a full criticiser of David Haye because he really would have no reason not to fight them.
