Haye's Own Fans Were Trashing Him So Badly His Facebook Page Magically Disappearred

[Chaos]

Popularity is different to being Identifiable. "A lot of people" I doubt that very much, I would say in the grand scheme of things it is probably a minority that dislike him because of his ethnicity, but im sure the fact that he was a millionaire when he was a teenager and had a relatively easy ride in the early stages of his pro career had as much to do with it. He is the most identifiable boxer in this country bar none. Ricky hatton is extremely popular, joe calzaghe is popular, david haye is popular but they are all eclipsed by Amir. Everyone knows who he is in the UK old ladies, you name it. I can pretty much guarantee if I walked out in my road right now 99.99% of my neighbours would know who he is. An Olympic medallist is a rare commodity in the UK, especially in boxing and being a British-pakistani is even more rare in fact I think he is the only one ever who has won a medal for team GB. Add to that the fact that he won it at 17 the youngest medallist since Floyd Patterson. Then I would say that his ethnicity, his name make him more identifiable. Put it this way James Degale won the gold and all though we did much better in China as a whole in boxing, winning a gold is a huge deal yet he is nowhere near as popular as Amir.

Anyway im done with this convo because I don't seem to getting through to you and like I said you think you are in the know...but don't seem to know jack about any of this.

I wasn't talking about the British public when I said there are people that don't like him.

Right, I'm ******. I'm sure mensa is all over you. Briggs was a champ just over 4 years ago; he has accomplished more than Audley ever will. I don't look at the whole picture you say? Why don't you point out why Vit even fought Briggs in the first place? It's because there was no one else available including Haye because he was MIA at that time. How can you claim Audley is a legit contender when even Haye swore he would never fight him because he's a joke. If Haye had half the balls and a quarter the brain you seem to think he has, then he would have taken a tuneup in England in and then fought in July or later in the summer and that way he could have fought Wlad without having to deal with Sauerland. Jesus, you Haye fans have more excuses than a pregnant nun.

Yes he has accomplished more than audley did not dis*****g the fact, but not in 2010 he didn't. Like you said 4 years ago, and even then to call him a world champ at that stage would be debatable. He won a vacant belt against a nobody and then lost it to Ibragimov. That is what he is doing now? Taking a fight in May to defend. Then looking at it later in the year, and don't make things up and presume he can side step with the wba, you don' know...don't make assumptions

Well I would say the British public is probably what you want to consider if your sky!!!!?? WTF is wrong with you...the whole debate is why sky would pick khan over haye, thats what I broke down for you, don't move the goal posts now.

He's back pedalling...don't get stuck on the ropes

You're saying Haye will be stripped if he waits and fights Wlad in July.

Yet Haye is lining up a fight with Mormeck who is most certainly not his mandatory in the meantime.

If Haye were to be stripped for waiting to fight Klitschko in July then he would also be stripped for taking a Mormeck fight.

There is no difference, in either scenario he is not taking on a mandatory challenger.

So Sky prefers Khan-McCloskey over Haye-Klitschko because it will satisfy all the camel humper loving Green Teefs?

Sky is just protecting Haye from Klitschko so they can milk the ignorant British boxing fans with a couple more mismatches.

I'm not changing anything go read my original statement. It's not as if the fight will only be watched in England.

His mandatory is Chagaev who isn't medically cleared to fight...Your basing your assumptions on rumours, the Mormeck fight hasn't even been signed or come off yet. He is ranked in the wba last I checked I think he is around 5. Like I have said I don't know the ins and outs, but im pretty sure he would have to defend the wba title against someone ranked to keep his belt. If its not Chagaev then no2 is povetkin I think, if he doesn't want it then the next guy, if anyone gets jumped they have a right to make their case and it can go to purse bids, that is the normal way. Nothing has happened but you are already making assumptions.

Which fight!!! Khan is more of a cash cow in the long-run for sky period. You say his ethnicity counts against him, i was putting your right. It makes him more well known if anything, believe me. All my friends are white and with the exception of maybe 1 he is very popular with all of them. He is very popular with ladies, he is very popular with sponsors, and the general public. That doesn't mean David Haye is not popular he is just not on khan's level, nor is any other fighter in the UK apart from arguably ricky hatton

Don't you think that if Haye fights another old opponent next, like Mormeck who turns 39 in early June, the UK public will finally be fed up with him and the PPV won't sell very well?

I think all the real boxing fans in the UK are now aware of what a fraud he is - his supporters are dwindling down to just his gay followers (who are not really boxing fans anyway, they just find him attractive).

Its pretty plain the UK public is fed up of this rat. He's quitting boxing because he knows they are sick of him and his dodging bull****ting tactics.
