Buncey's Shameless Hyping of Haye v Audley Has Given Many Fans a Bum Steer

I wasn't gutted by that, i've enjoyed the circus, and i had a good night, fight wasn't the best by a long way, but still i had a bit of fun with it, and i'di can't say that about most of the other heavyweight title fights in recent years.

 

Buncey would defend a Fraudley-Haye rematch.

his ass-kissing/biased'ness/patriotism is just too obvious.

 

anyone with a bit of nouse would have known not to shell out £15 for this fight, it's the media's job to sell fights, that's what keeps them in employment, don't shoot the messengers, if people are dumb enough to pay for **** then it's their bad.

 

I think Haye has damaged the reputation of boxing badly tonight. He admitted in his post fight interview that he carried Audley for 3 rounds because he had a ****ing bet on it. That is disgraceful. A PPV event. That is shocking.

 

Current British Boxing is a joke! A Bunch of Glass Jawed ****s!

Much Respect to Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe, Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno

 

I hope the hype at least dnoe some good for the sport....

 

I think the general consensus from the casual punter is that they feel scammed, in the long-term it's probably done more harm than good.

 

Agree it has damaged boxing but it can't be a bad thing if casual fans are saying they will never buy a PPV again. If they stick to that and learn not to buy mismatches just because Sky hype them up then that will only lead to less mismatches and less PPVs.

 

Bunce will call for a rematch he is that much up Hayes ass

 

:good

 

Bunce invested a lot in Harrison.....they go back a long way - but even he would not call for a rematch. The two trade mags backed the Haye-Harrison fight as an interesting fight - so dont lay exclusively into Bunce.

 

It's not fair to criticise Buncey too much for hyping this fight. Nearly every boxing source in Britain hyped this as an exciting fight. It clearly wasn't and was never going to be but you can't really blame the journalists that were happy to cover the fight as it gave them more column inches than before. However they should've known better and rubbished this fight as soon as it was first mentioned then we wouldn't have had to witness this pile of crap that was dealt out as a 'world' heavyweight championship fight.

 

Bunce is not a fight promoter.
