Monte Barrett Support Thread

He's probably in a 5 star . It's probably just the hotels in the uk are s--t compared to the ones in the states . **** off.........

Monte is a good guy who has been treated badly by Haye and his company Monte is a nice man and i would like to see him do well i would support him if he was fighting any of the other big mouthed guys who have done nothing in the division like Kevin Johnson Explain? He travelled to England by Business class. Hardly economy class is it? He is staying at the Travelodge Hotel. It's not 5 star but it ain't Fawlty Towers either? It's a good standard. £30 a day is good enough to buy food in London! If he wants to sample the finer things in life in London then he should pay for it out of his own pocket! He isn't here on holiday! He is here to fight! You're a Wlad fan who hates Haye. Your hate is disgusting it makes me sick to the stomach.

Monte has been treated poorly by Haye and his company putting him in bad hotels, not giving him enough money to feed himself Monte has a good chance to knock Haye out Monte is a nice man, kind, well spoken seems like a good guy i am rooting for him to Knock Haye out, show your support for Two Gunz WAR MONTE He's probably in a 5 star . It's probably just the hotels in the uk are s--t compared to the ones in the states .

he talked about guns at the presser? lol i didnt know that he was very upset so i can forgive him for the swearing he seems to have been given better room and it seems to be ok now though

no its shameful the way Hayes company have treated Barrett giving him a shit room, not enough money to cover expenses if Haye Gets a fight with either Klitschko he gets knocked the **** out most educated fans know this of course there are haters and some Brits will disagree David is in for a big fall, he should have kept his big mouth shut You're just into your Wlad thing, Monte barrett has APOLOGIES for blowing hot air at the press conference, He admit he was wrong and that he was treated fairly by Haye promotions just check setanta sports for his last interview after the weigh in, I wouldnt be surprise if the guy was on crack. Monte is a good guy who has been treated badly by Haye and his company Monte is a nice man and i would like to see him do well i would support him if he was fighting any of the other big mouthed guys who have done nothing in the division like Kevin Johnson Yeah Monte is a good guy, But he could swear on LIVE tv and tell us all how he gets guns and uses them on people yeah what a role model...pleaseeeeeee, I nice man is someone like your hero Wlad/Vitali who have NO connection to africa but they still go there and set up charity funds for kids in Namibia and use their own money to help people out there........And what has this "nice man" barrett done lately???

come on haye, local lad, local arena

£22 for a meal? hahahaha. my meal last night cost me £1.99 at morleys chicken lol (6 wings and chips) shoot, i might have to go back tonight and get a beer for the fight

No suprise a Wlad fan is rooting for Barrett. Monte is a good guy who has been treated badly by Haye and his company Monte is a nice man and i would like to see him do well i would support him if he was fighting any of the other big mouthed guys who have done nothing in the division like Kevin Johnson

No suprise a Wlad fan is rooting for Barrett.

i'm split between monte and haye for this fight i dislike haye... but i feel obligated to root for the brit, especially since our "golden era" in boxing came to such an abrupt end in 2008

haye to win in round 4 monte barrett i reckon doesnt have enough

Good luck to Monte Barrett. Hope he pulls off the upset.

I have mixed feelings about it too. Haye winning would be good for the heavyweight division, but because of his attitude and stupid trash talk, I find him difficult to like. Monte on the other hand is a class act and a good sportsman. Monte had been treated very badly by Don King which led to the Couser loss (he was not mentally focused at the time because of his differences with King). After being freed of his obligations to King he said he felt like a new man, and since then he's won three by early KO. I like Monte because he has a quality badly lacking in other heavyweight veterans: the willingness to fight anybody. He took the fight with Fields after Rahman turned it down. He's now willing to travel to another country and fight England's best up-and-coming heavyweight. Well Monte doesn't have a pot to piss in so he has to go where the money is, at this stage it's fighting prospects. Rahman was waiting to see if anyone was stupid enough to hand him a title shot.

if Haye wins its because Monte couldnt sleep in the hotel they put him in and was starving because he wasn`t given enough money for food :lol1::lol1:

I'd rather see an exciting heavyweight prospect win over an aging veteran but that's just me. I wouldn't mind seeing Barrett win though, he has worked his way back after a tough loss to Cliff Couser.

On an interesting cheap side note, when Celestino Caballero beat Somsak in Thailand for the superbantam weight title, the Thai's refused to give him a ride back to his hotel which was several kilometers away. He couldn't even get a cab. The new WBA champ with no ride! Luckily, he hitched a ride with a Panamanian journalist who happened to be there. True story. Needs a bruce willis style exit huh !?

My point exactly!! Thats what i said from the start.

I can't believe on reflection, were all talking about £30, when these guys have earnt some good bucks, not like they can't afford it. What did Monte earn in his last few fights approx?

http://www.***********.com/7630-monte-barrett.html Here is the link. It's the last question the interviewers asks. The video is funny. He looks very excited to be a contestant too. Maybe he would clean up if the UK had a similar show now that he knows the prices of everything thanks to David Haye :) SORRY I had to trick boxing scene into accepting the real url. Here it is... http://tinyurl.com/6afk2u We do have such a show, maybe thats how he plans to get home if he loses ;o) thats a brilliant story though.

£22 is plenty for dinner! You must have a lot of money if you're paying that everytime you go to dinner. There are plenty of nice places charging between £10-15. Considering he should be eating only lean meat and carbs at the moment anyway, I can't understand why he isn't preparing his own food Not sure I get the second bit, but I'm guessing you're asking if my girlfriend harvests all my food. No, I just don't need £22 a meal! He probably plucked £22 out of the air because he went to one posh restaurant which charged that. As I said, he needs to be preparing his own food anyway. Well the few fighters i have traveled with don't pre-pair their food once they get to location. Plus resturants i have been too with fighters charge stupid amounts to prepare something off menu. I still don't get hwy he just doesnt spend some of his earnings!?! Ok harvester is a cheap british chain resturant it was a joke .. sorry. I don't have alot of money and i don't pay that every time i go to dinner my point is it's not a great deal
