Gotta agree with Wlad. This does nothing to help boxing in Europe or abroad.
Wlad 'shocked and embarrassed'

As a representative of the sport it does have something to do with him. And boxing isn't a tickling contest, but it it a sport that should stay between the ropes.Comment

Yeah couldn't have put it better myself, I do feel that it was wrong for Chisora to do all them things but to be fair it has got everyone talking about boxing in the limelight, yeah it may not all be good but if a fight was to come from this (Which I don't believe would) loads of people that wasn't interested in boxing would go and watch.
In a way the actions of both Haye and Chisora have woken up the world to boxing, they will get what's coming to them with more people interested in boxing than before.Comment

I agree his actions were uncalled for and unneccessary, but in hindsight, im thinking they were a blessing in disguise.
It actually got people excited for a heavyweight fight. When was the last time that happened? People who wouldnt have watched, watched, because of his actions. People are still talking about it. Ya he's a goon, but its not like people havnt been noticing/getting turned off from corrupt judges, promoters, sanctioning bodies, whining fighters, etc. And its not like fighters havnt been doing crazy **** like that before.
Wlad is just pissed he got spit on, and is trying to throw him under the bus even more. During the scuffle tho, the **** eating grin on his brothers face tells a different story. Im sure he had a smile on his face too.Comment

And while I don't condone Chisora's actions, it has sparked at least MY interest in seeing a Chisora-Haye bout.
And what the hell, boxing has had all types of crazy altercations outside of the ring itself since, well, inception.
They are FIGHTERS. Not fucking ambassadors to the United Nations.
I'm all for class. But I won't feign outrage when stuff like this goes down.Comment
