Must've been one tough S.O.B. cabbie.

yes he is he beat matt skelton who got a shot at chagaev's title when he was chumpion!

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

how much they charging? 15quid?

They'll probably include Pacquiao-Margarito with that, though, so a £15 PPV isn't so bad.

yes it is, Pac v Marg would've been on sky for free if Haye wasnt fighting Harrison.

Now im gonna have to rely on getting a stream for that fight now or dl it the next day. Im more pissed about maybe missing Pac v Marg than Haye fighting Harison, i caught on a right while ago Haye wasnt gonna live up to his own big talk.

Harrison hasn't done nothing to deserve a shot at a title, I don't even know who that guy is. All I see is Haye taking a big heavy fighter in order to get more ready if he has to challenge any of the K brothers. This fight is a joke, all that talking Haye does and he doesn't back it up

Well, I don't take any boxing on TV for granted anymore, including Sky broadcasting the big US fights on their regular service, so it's all relative.


I'd happily pay £15 just to see Pacquiao-Margarito by itself, so, if I was staying in and not going to the MEN, I'd be buying the PPV, sure thing.

Glad they've made this happen. Fight of the Year and contender for Fight of the Decade.

tbh if sky put on a decent domestic card (not icluding Haye v Harrison) along with Pac v Marg (along with its own almost certainly ****ty undercard), i would pay for it. Screw what the Pac haters say, that fight is gonna be a messy war. Just the way i like it.

I just cant bring myself to spend money on Haye v Harrison. Im gonna have to cut my nose of to spite my face. Its the principle. I know me not buying it isnt gonna make a big difference to the PPV numbers, but i just want the ppv to flop so haye has to back his big talkup.

Are they serious on choosing November 13? Going head-to-head with Pac-Marg?

The british ppl still think a prime mike tyson is fighting, they dont know shi.t in terms of boxing. They will probably just buy the fight for Haye vs Harrison because they think the "heavyweight" champ is fighting.. i hate british chav fans..

Haye laughs off possibility of Harrison title defence

Current WBA world heavyweight champion David 'The Hayemaker' Haye has poured scorn on British rival Audley Harrison's attempts to talk his way towards a world title shot.

The 38-year-old Harrison snared the European heavyweight title last week and has since set his sights on an all-British showdown with Haye in 2010.

Haye, fresh off a stunning ninth-round stoppage of world-class contender John Ruiz, isn't even entertaining the idea of meeting Harrison.

"Everything that I've prophesied so far in my career, I've then put into practice and achieved," said Haye. "I said I'd become world cruiserweight champion and I did that. I then said I'd become unified world cruiserweight champion and I did that, too. I then said I'd become world heavyweight champion and I've just gone and done that. I think I've achieved everything I said I would.

"Audley said he'd win the Olympic Games, and he did really well to win that amateur tournament. He then turned professional and said he'd win the British heavyweight title within five fights. He's never won the British title to this very day."

While Haye has gatecrashed and illuminated the world heavyweight division in an explosive 12-month assault, Harrison continues to stall on the fringes of the domestic scene. His European title win last Friday represented the first time Harrison had scooped major honours as a professional, since turning pro in May 2001.

In a nine-year pro career Harrison has won 27 bouts and suffered defeat four times. He was dramatically knocked out by Michael Sprott in 2007, and was also soundly outpointed by Dominic Guinn, Martin Rogan and Danny Williams. He has yet to meet a world-class or ranked opponent and has confronted defeat each time he's attempted to move up in level.

Harrison appeared on the verge of losing again last Friday - and was behind on all scorecards - before uncorking a peach of a left-cross in the 12th round to knock out underdog Sprott in a rematch.

"Audley's won the vacant title against Michael Sprott, a guy who had previously knocked him spark out in three rounds," added Haye, a four-time and two-weight world champion.

"He needs to focus on his own career and start getting his own house in order first. Perhaps he should offer rematches to all the guys that have beaten him first and set the record straight there. There will be a pretty long queue.
