    This is nearly as much a mismatch as wlad vs derek, except wlad is better than haye and derek is worse than mormeck.

    Atleast vitali is taking on a live opponent.

    Somewhere in America Dan Rafael just exploded when he heard about this fight.


    Seriously this is a ****ing abysmal piece of match making. Zero justification for this fight.

    People always make comments about not buying PPV's etc.... but if this fight is made I reckon we need to make a stance.

    It's a joke and we should make a point.

    Get all of the forums across Britain in union and spread the word :deal

    more meck??


    Grant, there's NO WAY im buying this ****...or even a Chagaev fight on its own, I dont care how much SKY try to get it inside my head that Mormeck is a threat!!!

    However, if they double it with Froch, that will change matters, which is unfortunate.

    Haye is a farce. As a voluntary defence instead of Fraudley, it would have been a little interesting but as the HW champ, it is a joke.

    What were the PPV figures for Haye - Harrison? If they were decent then I expect Sky will trust their team and Haye to sell another duff fight

    About 700,000

    The casual fan or knew who Harrison was. They'll have no clue as to who Mormeck is.

    The only way this PPV sells in the same quantity is if it's it's part of a double header with say Froch vs Johnson.

    They where good between 600-800k depending on which source you believe, but they where around 20-30% down on the predicted mark of 1,000,000 (a lot of papers had that as the expected mark) which would have hurt Sky as they pumped a lot of time, effort and cash into the promotion of that fight. Which along with the terrible aftermath would have hurt a little.

    I think this is what is going to happen. Even the Haye-ters will have to shell out because they want to watch Froch.
