    Well maybe not everyone but work colleagues who don't know boxing and even the missus are interested in this one.

    I just bought BN from WHSmiths and the women who served me saw the front of the mag and started to talk about the fight even though she ain't much of a boxing fan.

    The promotion of this fight has been amazing - all over the papers and news. Was on front of the free sports mag in London today.

    Jim Watt said the other night something along the lines that he was worried that Haye was seeing this as an event rather than a fight. With the amount of coverage he's personally got and given I'm a bit worried about this too.

    I noticed the talk for this fight is pretty good too. BN was nearly sold out today too at Smiths. Which in MK is a rarety

    I was expecting your post to be "...but what about Dawson-Johnson II" :lol:

    Seriously though, this is the most hyped fight since Hatton-Floyd.

    Numbers must be good already. You can see the sky presenters have been told to refer to it at every chance. Football matches are now David & Goliath clashes.

    Yeah that's probably true, sadly. Was watching a few eps on youtube last week, still has me in stitches. Watched Le Petomane as well. Leonard Rossiter was ****ing brilliant. "If you sue me sir, I shall never fart in Paris again!"

    EDIT: Rik Mayall does a pretty funny-if over the top Rigsby.

    Don't remember that discussion but Rigsby v Philip was some fight. If Farm Boxer was on here he'd be backing Rigsby all the way and would not have seen any foul play in the KO outcome...

    I was visiting my uncle who is in hospital recovering from an eye operation, and was with my mum, her sister and my grandma.

    We were talking about rugby and all of a sudden my grandma (who was reading the paper) said ''how is that little guy gonna beat him''

    The nurse came over and (bless her) nearly collapsed in shock at how large Valuev looked, so when I basically told them all to get down the bookies and start loading up on the Hayematrix they just burst out laughing..... then it was the ''are you serious?'' phase.

    :lol:

    Valeuv has done alot to promote the fight without saying anything to actually hype the fight.

    As people have said this fight has got the public interested and its mainly down to the sheer size of Valuev, and the average Joe wants to know how a guy the size of Haye could win, if he can.

    Theres a big piece in the Mail today (yes I know!!) about previous HW champs and their height in relation to Valuev, not often you see Tommy Burns in the papers these days!!
