They did a very good job hyping the fight to be fair to them, i watched it in my local walkabout massive screen etc. But the muppets in there knew naff all bout boxing some bloke even said to me "david haye would spark out vitali in one round" i almost got up and walked out when someone said "haye is like mike tyson. Most of the people in there loved it and thought it was a good night and enjoyed it whilst me and my boxing friend fans were obviously disgusted. But i cant blame haye for making the fight if the average joe bloggs willing to enjoy it and they are going to make money out of it it had to happen i would have done the same thing.
I was in a similar situation i had people chanting in my ear that after that performance haye's the best british fighter ever! I almost flipped a switch and people were cheering after the match as if haye had achieved something, he took on one of boxings biggest letdowns who got battered and bruised against michael sprott and won with a fling of the arm. It was obvious to me from day 1 what would happen yet somehow audley managed to convince people AGAIN, It was a disgrace of a fight from day 1 and the fact people had to pay for it was an insult
