Harry Mullan used to say you don't need to 'fix' fights. Ninety-five per cent of the time you know exacly who is going to win, anyway, although (typically) I thought Valuev would win. Well done, David Haye and Adam Booth.
I wanted Haye to win, cheered him on in the pub, and although the fight was dull as **** for a neutral it had an interest to all Brits and watched throughout. But after all that , yes, I definitely think the result was influenced by Don King. I can't be arsed typing all the ins and outs of exactly why, main one is marketablity and potential profit of David Haye over Valuev for future fights , this opening poster on sb pretty much sums up the reasons here. http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingforum/56410-don-king-real-winner-haye-v-valuev.html
Don King is worth the entrance money on his own, the man is a legend...a bent legend, but one nevertheless :deal
