No doubt it is considered trendy to add insult before injury. The idea has taken hold that it is smart to be vulgar.
The perceived wisdom being that the more offensive you can be towards your opponent it will enhance ticket sales and also greatly increase the pay-per-view TV revenue.
David Haye and James DeGale probably think the abuse they have heaped upon Wladimir Klitschko and George Groves recently has been good for business.
But, as far as the fans are concerned, Haye-Klitschko and DeGale-Groves are great fights that don't need extra dollups of hype and they sell themselves.
Maybe it is because I am old fashioned but I found it extremely irritating listening to the constant flow of invective - possibly because it lacks humour.
Presumably Haye believes he has done his reputation a power of good by dedicating his world heavyweight title unification clash with Klitschko to the memory of Sir Henry Cooper.
It is pseudo-sentimentality and he would be much better off learning to behave like Sir Henry.
David may have thought he was making some kind of hard-man statement by refusing to shake Klitschko's hand at a couple of Press conferences. I can assure him Sir Henry would have been appalled at such boorish ignorance.

In any case, Wlad's victory will only be sweeter if he wins since Haye has been so arrogant. Imagine how sweet it was for Groves to shut DeGale up ! Besides, the fans tend to side with the man who talks less, in this case, Groves and Wlad.
You say it has been irritating to read Haye's constant flow od dissing and insults, but what's most interesting is that it never stopped you from reading it day after day just to whine about it
