    I have defended Haye's ducking of the Klits bros and lauded Haye's genius marketing skills in the past - but even I have had enough of the Haymaker bull****.

    The Haymaker magazine, the Haymaker iPhone app, ****ing Adam Booth's slabbering.

    In short, stick your Haymaker plc gimmicks up your ass, I dont want to know about your shite iPhone app or your magazine. Just remember what your day job is and that you are supposed to be a world champion - so rein in the hype and gimmicks until you fight a Klitchso brother.:good

    Have you noticed how many people are now giving Audley a chance in comparison to when the fight was first mooted?

    Sky have this marketing art down to a fine art fair play to them :lol:

    Don't worry after he finishes Audley he'll have another 6 months of well earned rest before a summer showdown with Holyfield at Wembley!

    True. But, Audley and his trainer have owned Haye and Booth in the talking stakes so far. Booth was particularly embarrassing yesterday :oops:

    A-Force was quick out the traps with the media....and has played a clever game of painting himself as the good guy and Haye as the heel.

    They're on the same side at the moment though, Team Aud, Hayemaker and Sky.

    This is the phoney war and they're all fighting for the same cause.

    He has played that one down to a tee.

    Haye has looked very uncomfortable in his PR appearances with Audley.

    He got it easy against the Valuev and in the pressers went too far with the personal insults - especially as Valuev isnt a talker.

    And the 'quiet man' John Ruiz - doesnt engage either. But, he met his match with Harrison who is a p4p king when it comes to smack talking and deflection :hey

    The hype is changing a lot of people's opinions and probably eroding their better judgement on how this fight will unfold.

    In the back of my mind, I envisage the scenario of witnessing Haye blow Harrison out of the ring in a one-sided beating and thinking once again - why, oh why did I get fooled again with another straw mans argument that this hyped outsider actually had a chance (similar to Hatton-Mayweather and Hatton-Pac) - it is totally irrational!

    But, I am still thinking positively that Harrison can pull off the shock win:nut

    I haven't been following this build-up, and I wont be. Nor will I be watching the fight.
    Sounds like real soap opera/pro wrestling-style crap, though.

    Grudge match. :patsch

    No, just a load of baloney between two greedy pretenders, a couple of shysters.
    Pretend fighters.

    My advice : dont waste any more time or money on this nonsense.

    Boxers have a short career. Good luck to the guy if he wants to make some cash while he can.

    That's exactly it. Hook, line and sinker.

    They've done a great job of changing peoples mind set.

    If people think it's gonna be close, which it aint, they will pay their £15.

    Sky are masters of it.

    When it's all done, everybody will think, 'how did we get taken in again?'.

    But they did, and they will be again.
