Anyone else suprised by the amount of coverage that Haye vs Valuev has got?

[Roger Mellie]

Haye has the chance to be the next Heavyweight champion of the world, and he's British. That's why!

Yep, the wider public in england have always like to have a heavyweight to get behind,also the novelty factor that Valuev brings. This fight appeals to the British sense of humour.

I really havent a clue how this one will pan out,but if haye does manage to somehow ko Valuev,then that would be a pretty powerful statement to make. Haye just has to make sure he doesnt get distracted by the matted chest hair being rubbed in his face,or get kayoed by Valuev's smelly armpits!

I was out last night and everyone had something to say about the Haye fight. There's about 10 people who don't even really follow boxing coming out to see it with us tonight.

Interesting how most "casual fans" are picking Valuev to win by murder, they've really promoted this match-up well.

Yeah, same here. Got a call from my cousin yesterday about meeting up to watch the fight. Seems like quite a lot of non-boxing fans are taking an interest.

I just hope that it's a good fight.

I think you're right. People have been talking about it at work and in the pub over the last few days and loads of people I know who dont follow the sport at all are going to watch it,****,even the missus wants to watch it!

I didnt really think it would get any coverage here, Froch has had no air time at all before his fights but this fight seems to be fairly big it had its own news article on prime time bbc news on thursday and has been all over the papers. Its good for boxing in the UK hopefully BBC might pick up the re run like they did with Haye vs Enzo

well id say they recognise that haye has some talent. froch does not.

It's gettin alot of media attentio over here due to us not havin a world heavyweight champion since lewis. plus Sky Box Office are behind it and they will be throwing mad money to advertise it so fans subscribe to them.
