    Some people are saying that this fight would be worthwhile for Britain, if not for the rest of the world....It's not....Just because a rivalry exists between one of the heavyweight champions and a man no better than a journeyman on the world stage does not make it worth paying for.

    ****ing no chance. And if it signed I hope a miracle occurs in this horror show of a fight and somehow Audley KOs Haye.
    I don't give a **** about it being a "big fight in Britain". Haye moved up slagging off the Klit brothers for being boring, safety first and not fighting anyone who was a threat.

    He made a name for himself by acting out of character and being obnoxious and provocative. Fine. He then pulled out of a fight, for various reasons and in 18 months has fought twice. Once against Valuev and then the Ruiz defence.

    To sign a fight against a guy who has beaten NOBODY in the worlds top 20 and who was on the way to a loss again against a domestic level fighter who was past his best, is a total farce.
    It means he wants easy money. Fine, it's his life and career but don't expect support from boxing fans who looked to you to bring excitement and challenges to the division.

    Easy money = not testing yourself and not fighting the big fights.

    If it late this year then it will be 2011 at the earliest before a fight with one of the brothers could occur, over 2 years since saying he was here to take them out. Why not wait another 4 until Vitali is ancient?:roll:

    Adamek, Povetkin or Chagaev are the only fights outside of a Klit that are acceptable. And really only Adamek would be a great fight for the fans.

    No chance. Voting with your wallet by not paying is the best way to go about this fight. I really wouldn't have a problem with this if Haye fought more frequently and the clock wasn't ticking on his career.

    Anybody who thinks they'll be proving a point by not buying this are deluded.

    This would drag the casuals in by their hundreds of thousands.

    As much as it's a **** fight, your vote won't matter a jot.

    I'll probably watch it but I will not pay £15. I hope this fight bombs. Sadly, mainstream fans may tune in.

    I think I would simply because I'm a Haye fan and I'd like to see him wreck Harrison. That being said I know it is not a quality fight or a good challenge for Haye.

    I'd watch it defo. And if it was ppv then yeah, I'd pay for it.

    I'm surprised at the poll results so far, from the tone of some recent threads on this I thought it would be a resounding 'NO'.

    I very much doubt it will happen though...
