are all british fans delusional or just 20,000 of them?

Ehm, wasn't Tony Blair known as his lap dog? I rest my case.

Are you German? That would be a rich comment coming from a German.

 

In the long run, how are fights like this supposed to be good for "business" as you say, or for the health of boxing in the UK. EVERYONE with any common sense walked away dissapointed after this horrible fiasco.

In case you haven't noticed, the world does not revolve around England and this fight was a local affair. Boxing outside of England could not give a flying **** about this fight. We laughed before it happened and we laughed even harder when it was over. It was a joke and reflected badly on Haye and on British boxing in general. It made Green vs. Briggs look downright competative.

 

you've got to be kidding, 50/50... they offered him 50 ****ing 50 split. get some knowledge and come back
edit: ok, so it's settled :good

 

:silly

 

wow where to begin. did you go to the m.e.n. arena? because if you did you wouldnt have been disappointed. there were some great fights, most notably the groves victory.

noone would have walked away disapponted, unless they turned up at the start of the haye-harrison fight.

and if noone gives a flying fuk why are you getting so passionate about it? if noone cares why is it front and back page news. if noone is bothered why are the klitschko's so desperate to fight haye?

mismatches happen. this last end of the year is a great example. we have had vitali vs briggs, pac vs margo, haye vs harrison and we wll have wlad vs chisora. they dont reflect badly on the victor unless they struggle. whch haye clearly ddnt.

and as for it being bad for british boxing, as you kidding me? it has dominated the english papers and sports channels. it is all people talk about. hell both fighters even featured on soccer a.m. it put boxing in the spotlight. that is something any boxing fan will appreciate.

as for it being uncompetitive, well its true. olympic gold medallist and europena heavyweight champ audley harrison just didnt have the toold to deal with haye's attack. i so desperately hoped he would land his big left but it didnt happen.

 

are you stupid or what? just because you're from uk doesn't mean you have to defend this ****, wake the **** up...

 

Maybe 20,000 Brits wanted see Harrison get sparked which they did plus for a lot of lads it's just an excuse to go on the **** somewhere different.

 

The amazing thing is Haye even told the boxing public that Harrison was a joke.

Haye's own words went unheeded.

 

i was one of the 20k so technically it could still be contained to us :good

 

ok i will make this simple for you.

i live in manchester

haye vs harrison is the first all english hw title fight since bruno vs lewis

the fight was in manchester

i am a boxing fan

it was a boxing match

guaranteed knockout.






look at the above points, why the hell wouldnt i go to see it? a title fight on my doorstep, damn right i'll watch it. otherwise what is the point of being a fan of the sport?

i know it dont make haye rank any higher, but obviously i will watch the fight. im pretty sure wlad vs chisora will sell out wherever it is staged, doesnt make the people paying idiots.
