    I was walking nearby the BBC this morning and saw Harrison and Haye laughing away (must of finished there interview on breakfast) Yeah they looked friendly to me and are probably laughing all the way to the bank.

    Anyone who thinks this 'hate' between the 2 is genuine are a bit naive.

    I don't think anyone doubted it will sell, that points irrelevant...its what the casual fans think at the end of the night after they have spent money on going or buying the PPV. They will feel ripped off, because they will see an embarrasing one sided contest with Audley putting up no fight...not really what 'the biggest British fight since Bruno-Lewis!' (according to the media) should be like.

    I'm just looking for an excuse to get the courtesy shuttle hummer to Silks Gentleman's Club again. That experience was better than the Haye-Ruiz fight itself!!

    The premier league's 39th game makes financial sense but that's not grounds for justifying it as it's a crap idea. Ditto this fight.

    I think that boxing needs to get into the limelight more and this is the way that they have chosen to do it, I'm not saying its right but the UFC has taken the younger viewer and the fact that is is more accessible helps.

    Am I supposed to be impressed by this. Look at the interviews and the coverage this fight is getting is that really supposed to be good for the sport. It's such poor production, the interview quality is horrible and the way hype they are building around this fight is so idiotic. What the Sport needs is more shows like last Saturday's.

    They were showing Sprott-Harrison at a pub I was at and after the fight some people started saying Audley would knock out Haye and it would be a great fight :patsch So you're probably right, I probably am giving the sub 90 IQ average Joe too much credit.

    Was there anyone who didn't think that Haye was taking this fight just for the easy money?

    Man lands on moon.

    Only £800 tickets now available ... to the football fan who thinks he knows Boxing this fight appeals and that shows by the sell out ! ...Haye is a brilliant promoter that there is no doubt he knows how to make money ... Hes doing exactly what alot of promoters do and thats protect there best assets and in hayes case thats himself ....

    it won't do that great on PPV. be lucky to get 250,000 in my opinion. a fight with a klitschko makes alot more business sense when it comes to finances, but haye doesn't want it, and it's that simple. i've had enough of defending haye now. this fight is a farce.
