    Are you honestly interested in seeing Haye vs Harrison? I know, both are British, but anyone with a tiny bit of boxing knowledge knows that Harrison is gonna get slaughtered and this one is not even close to being competitive.

    If he'd just fought a top contender or something, i would say he (Haye) earned an easy defence, but he already had that against an old Ruiz. Now he's about to fight an old Harrison, who never really had a prime in the first place.

    How the Hell is this fight marketable?? Hasn't Harrison put everyone to sleep who dare watch his "fights" ?

    Anyone with a tiny bit of boxing knowlegde, knows this fight will to be so simple for David Haye.

    Anyone with a tiny bit a boxing knowlegde, knows this fight will ne bigger than any domestic fight since Eubank Vs Benn.

    How is this fght marketable..? yet again if you had any boxing knowledge of british boxing..i would not have to tell you.

    Oh you will get the hard knocks, saying they won't watch it.

    But if the fight is made, they will all......ALL........WATCH IT.

    Thanks.

    Nobody with any boxing knowledge will be interested, unless its free and the build up is epic.

    The main target for Haye seems to be the non boxing fan over the boxing fan, which I actally found quite clever.

    He got bare monies for the Valuev and Ruiz fights. Despite the fact it was Valuev and Ruiz.

    I heard old women who know nothing about sports discussing his fight with Ruiz a few days after.

    I was scared, but it turns out he was on Paul o grady and the Wossy show so im not suprised

    It would be an embarrasment for the UK if it took place instead of one of the Klits.
    The only interest I have in it is if Audley ko's Haye early on. That would be hilarious.

    Understand and accept this.

    Do you think the public really give a **** about, Bellew vs Cleverboy.....

    Or any other **** ass prospects.

    No they don't, because they are not household names. And they never will BE because, boxing is no longer ingraned in our culture.

    Its just a sport now.

    Audley Harrison was Olympic Champion, when the Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis was one the most recognised figures on the planet. The sport is no longer like that anymore.

    That is why Audley Harrison is still a big name, and still a attraction. Everyone knows his story and issue's, but the man is still here..and is still fighting.

    Do you think Enzo vs Haye was big..:lol:

    Funny ****s..

    Understand this. Fraudley brings nothing to the table, I have mates who aren't even boxing fans and they know he's a big joke.

    No way will this do big numbers.

    most true boxing fans in the uk dont want the fight however mainstream sports fans in the uk unfortantly are more likely to know the fool that is harrison rather than either of the vitali or vlad. haye will make a small fortune from this fight itwill fill out a soccer stadim like white hart lane do good buisness on the ppv front on sky and haye will probably be able to get an 80% -20% split in his favour.
    i wuold hate to see this fight as harrison deserves nothin out of the sport he almost single handly got boxing off mainstream tvin the uk he has talked **** for a decade yet is still around and earning out of the game unfortantly this fight makes perfect sense for both sides but i belive on a world level it severly dent hayes reputation

    I'll put it this way. People who don't know Boxing like we (people who care enough about boxing to go on forums etc.) do see two names they know and will watch it - so in that respect it is marketable. Depressing, but fact.

    I personally think it is a joke of a match up and has me seriously doubting my "fanship" of David Haye. Nonetheless, I will watch it because of the "what if?" factor. I know David Haye is going to win, but if he doesn't I will then have watched one of the upsets of the century.

    If David wins...well I've seen the end of the road for Audley Harrison and I've been waiting for that for a long while now.

    Just because you have interest in the fight doesn't mean everyone is mate.
    Some of us stand by the courage of our convictions.

    I be pissed off with Haye if he fought Audley:

    1. Because he should be fighting a Klitschko and

    2. Because Audley doesn't deserve a big pay day and a world title shot

    I must admit though, i'd pay to watch it just to see A Force get a hiding!
