greed is eating British boxing up, a natural progression fed by ladder climbers clambering higher and higher towards the money clouds. boxings' roots are firmly planted in a fighters stance and will hold fast and long,,, ,,,and will rise again...
haha from that frank warren article, Chisora 'I found out the fight was not happening so i ordered a beer and a burger' top man!
I can't believe that people still like and respect him. I mean..... it's three years since he's beaten Enzo and all he's done is talk..... I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do that. Yeah right. You've won a paper title by beating a man that was tooled by 46 year old Evander Holyfield a year before..... and defended it against old ass Ruiz and a WBU level journeyman in Harrison. Some HW career that. If he fancied the job against Wlad he'd have taken it by now, but he can hide behind the smokescreen of unreasonable demands because the British media just print the shite and he's got Steve Bunce blowing his trumpet on boxing's #1 magazine show. Wlad was brilliant on Ringside, and is the better fighter and bloke to boot. I hope the fight does happen, then the chickens (pardon the pun) will come to roost for Haye and his nuthuggers. Support proper fighters, that do their talking in the ring instead of whining on Sky Sports News about demands like his potential opponent wanting to fight more than once a year. What a ****! He's been a pretender for the past three years. Deal with it.
800k ppvs for Valuev, 500k (rumoured) for Ruiz and 750k for Harrison. Yes, Haye has killed boxing in the UK.
Haye alone is not powerful enough to kill boxing in the UK, but he's just one small part of big problem, which is the fights that make sense are just not being made. Haye vs a Klitschko is just one of many fights that should have happened but have not happened and possibly will never happen. He might be doing great PPV buys but the old saying "you can fool some of the people all the time and...." you know the rest. TBF he's one of the most exciting fighters in the world due to his power, but these days he's just a businessman looking to cash in with minimal risk. A very difficult fighter to support, not fan friendly at all. The Mayweather of the heavyweight division, except Mayweather's resume is still pretty damn good despite ducking so many fighters. He's getting the publics attention though, but people are not stupid. Okay, people are stupid but they learn eventually.
This is definitely complete hyperbole. But he has definitely done little or nothing to elevate the Sport and he has damaged the credibility of Boxing with the fascicle fight against Harrison and the bs Klitschko negotiations.
I know this has been talked about repeatedly but what exactly does hayes resume comprise of he's 31 and has only had 25 fights that on its own is disgraceful. he spent all his career at cruiserweight and all he did at that weight was beat an old ass mormeck, and defended his belts once against a fighter who'd put amir khans chin to shame, guys like adamek was the man to beat at that weight and he just ignorned him and ****ed off to heavyweight.
Nah i would not agree that he has killed British boxing however he is a twat for not fighting Klit. however there are rumours that it could still happen, but i think different. English boxing is **** at the moment anyway. G
