I notice on the Hayemaker's official site that there is a 2-for-1 offer on all tickets over £80 for Saturday's fight. Anyone else a little surprised that they're having to give tickets away for this? I would've thought after his destruction of Enzo there wouldn't be a problem selling tickets. Perhaps the strength of the undercard has put some off?
the promotion of Haye has been really poor along with all those columns of warren and the fact that people see barret as a bum who haye is just ganna roll over in a round not really surprised.
none of the casual fans know who david haye is, more people know maccranelli because they've seen him on ITV
ACHILLES THE GREAT BOUGHT SOME HAYE TICKETS AND SAID THE PRICE FOR SOME OF THEM RINGSIDE WAS ABOUT £1000 - £2000 QUID - OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT anyway - I said at the time Haye will have problems selling them tickets because he is not a big enough name Its not like this is Tyson and Holyfield at the MGM Grand people swayed my mind and said - people will shell out for them now it turns out he is offering 2 for 1 reality of the situation is now starting to show on Haye and his promotions pherhaps they were a bit naive - starting out as new promoters - Booth and Haye and they found out - a successful promotion aint all that easy to achieve
not only that Enzo had the backing of Britiains top promoter and was chief support to Joe Calzaghe on some huge shows at the millienieum stadium Haye has never really had that limelight apart from the Enzo fight however that Enzo fight was a really hyped battle of Britain fight it caught the attention of everyday people - who went along to see a "event" even GABBY went to Enzo and Haye not every fight you have is going to have that type of hype around it a 29 year old woman - who works in Marketing - and who never watches boxing - would have gone to Hayes last fight - with her boyfriend / husband - as it was a "event" to see that same 29 year old woman - who works in Marketing - probaly dosent even know David Haye is fighting this weekend now that 29 year old woman - who works in Marketing - will go out down the town instead - with some friends - for some drinks - and socialise - she will be so busy chatting away - she wont even notice the David Haye fight in the background on the Bar TV Screen
For me there was just no attraction to go to this one like there was the last one. Maybe it was the thought of the last one being all British and there would be a bit of banter and stuff (although the dickhead cockneys ruined that) but this one hasn't been very attractive. I think I've grown a bit tired of Haye, I like him but he's spent most of the year out of the ring talking crap. It's easy to call yourself the best when you aren't fighting anyone. Hopefully he can back up all his talk well enough to make me want to watch him next year.
Its all down to marketing, Haye should get some people who specialise in marketing sports events to handle marketing for Hayemaker Promotions. This is a far more dangerous fight for Haye. If we are honest Enzo is just a big chap with titties and there is no way Haye could lose to a man wit boobs. Monte is in a different league and although just a gatekeeper he does pose more of a danger to Haye than Enzo could have ever posed (even if Enzo had come into the ring against Haye with an loaded AK47) as he looked **** scared.
Like you say Monte is just a gate keeper But Enzo was a World Champion - no 1 crusierweight in the world - conquered the whole world.
Its not really hard to get a shitty belt in cruiserweight division. Even Arslan (I call hi arsewipe) managed to bag a belt in germany and he has a worse chin than Enzo.
