    Really? I thought kick off would be at 3 or something. I was thinking of maybe doing both. Oh well.

    Accomodation is going to be the main stumbling block, especially with the rugby world cup on

    This is my only fear. Euro Tunnel is already fully booked for Friday.

    If anyone does find good accomodation, again make sure you post it here so we can take over the block.

    We need 50 of us. We need to be a ****ing platoon! YES!

    I got 6 or 7 mates who are interested. This is madness.

    More people need to know about Haye. BBC really did a **** job with him. Sky are doing ok but he still isn't known like he needs to be.

    Haye has everything Hatton has and more. He should be known in the same manner. Maybe this will be his Kostya Tszyu.

    :D

    Seriously though.

    I think he has the same sort of appeal. He is good looking, mixes with the celebes, blah blah blah blah blah...

    ...and most importantly of all you are guranteed excitement. He has had ONE bad fight. He has a kill or be killed mentality, even when boxing.

    You have to like that when he stuns guys he tries to finish but isn't dumb about it.

    I went to Bell / Mormeck 2 in Paris and the venue was very small. I had ring side seats for that fight and to be honest, the view from the crappiest seats wouldn't have been too bad so I don't know if I would bother with ring side this time.

    I paid £250 for eurostar and 2 nights so it is quite a cheap weekend away.

    i agree he has crossover appeal.

    whether he's the complete fighting package like ricky is, is something i still heavily doubt.

    i want haye to prove me wrong of course. :bbb

    Haye hasn't come close to rivalling Hattons achievements but he has the ability to. He is talented, skilled and ballsy. It's about bringing it all together. I'm rooting for him.

    If Haye becomes HW champion he'll probably surpass Hatton, even though Ricky will have done more - does that make sense... ?

    It's a tough one but it does make sense. You are going back to the argument that being the true heavyweight champ of the world is the greatest prize in sport.

    With this in mind yes.

    I want to see Haye spark Mormeck then spark the Brit/Commonwealth champ (Skelton) and then onto the true prize!
