    I'm just annoyed that is has been written. Plenty of people will be influenced by this rubbish.

    I did like the description of Frank: 'a salesman with a granite chin'.

    I'm surprised the Daily Mail did not blame asylum seekers.

    The worrying thing is the Daily Mail is the most accessed newspaper site from the UK.

    This wank is how we look.

    Complete and utter bull****.

    Fed up with the point every dickhead who's probably seen one fight in his life is making - "the ramifications of this fight being that the British boxing scene will be fragmented" etc.

    Of course it won't. The only reason this fight is happening in these circumstances is because the BBBofC dealt poorly with the aftermath of the Munich brawl. This is a fight that should happen anyway, and it had to happen somehow.

    How often are fighters going to be banned indefinitely by the BBBofC? And name a fighter (who takes himself seriously) who is going to forgo his chances for a British title to fight for another sanctioning bodies (LBF for example). None is my guess.

    Just the media being prima donnas about it all, they need a story to sell after all.

    The Daily Mail...

    Did you know both Chisora and Haye are black? No, me neither! The British crowns are for the classic white heroes, like the Dick Turpin's of this world.

    The Daily Mail stands behind the quintessential British Olympians; Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, not the bloody immigrants and their families.

    Yes, I agree. There should have been more grilling of the BBBofC because of how poorly they dealt with the matter!

    The Daily Mail is shite. The worst thing is that some people think that its a serious paper!!

    Anyway, as much as I hate this paper I agree with the sentiment of the article. As a boxing fan I dont think this fight should be going ahead. They are making a mockery of the BBBC and setting out a blueprint for selling fights. Have a big brawl, create some headlines and then get some obscure federation to back it. Its a real kick in the teeth that the fight is also happening here. Might as well be unlicensed.

    Rant over.
