If David Haye wins on saturday

I can;t see it mate. Its a popularity contest, Haye just hasn't had enough exposure and I don't think a Valuev win will be enough to change that.

 

Someone with half the talent and personality David has will win...probably some Sailing nut or some pony rider...complete joke of a contest some years.

 

You don't seem to know an awful lot about any sport other than boxing? I could say why each of those deserve the award more than Haye (who I love by the way) but would you get it?

 

haye will probs be 2nd. Button 1st.

when you think about it froch deserves to be ahead of Haye. won 3 fights agaisnt world class opponents and also won outside the UK

 

If Haye beats Valuev in dramatic style he could stand a chance of winning the sports personality of the year just because the fight is near the end of the year and he will be fresh in the publics mind.

I personally think Ennis deserves it out of the ones you mentioned but athletics is probably less popular than boxing and she won her medal in the summer so people may not give much of a **** anymore.

 

The difference is that the Beeb will have plenty of footage of Ennis "doing her stuff" on the build up programs, adverts etc, thats what makes people remember and vote.

they'll have nothing to show of Haye from the last 2-3 years.

 

Ah right. I didn't think about that.

Could the Beeb not pay a fee to the other stations to show some Haye clips or are they to stingy for that?

 

Pfffft - As if Haye deserves it over Big Darren Fletcher. Come on Burnley FFS atsch

 

I've seen the Sports Personality show screens with still pictures of boxing action on because the couldn't/ wouldn't pay for footage....

 

Goddamn that avatar gets me everytime.

 

i am most fukkin unfortunatley gopin to miss this fight, workin late shift, so will avoid it untill sunday morning!!

I do hope Haye wins and is victorious is impressive style.
