Excellent win for Tyson Fury

[KOTJ]

Haye was open in saying he didn't want to fight Harrison but was doing it for the cheque and that the fight would be an uncompetitive hammering.

It was the network (Sky) who really built this thing up as a Best Of Enemies Part II and conned the public into believing they were going to see a fight and not a sideshow.

[KOTJ]

Haye did carry his ass a couple of rounds in a bid to try and make it resemble a contest, but it was getting pathetic and the venue was booing so he ended it.

Are you fucking serious?

Here's what I think, you're a European based poster in some Scandinavian country who doesn't really have too much of a clue about the going ons in the domestic scene.

You're a fan of Haye because he brings entertainment, reflex-based style and big power but you don't really know too much else. There was no doubt who would win, only how long it was going to last. The 'experts' are supposed to be in limbo, if they spoke their mind they'd have no job at Sky - make your own mind up.

Obviously Haye said Harrison was good, how the fuck else do you sell a fight? They kept ****ing on about a gold medal he won as an amateur.

The irony of you calling me the one who's lost credibility when you come out with that drivel.

Haha. you're pathetic. I don't know what my location has to do with the "domestic" scene. Especially when we are talking about a world title fight.

I'm a Liverpool born Brit living in Denmark. This has previously been shown under my avatar, so your analysis is not really that deep is it?

Mate, you're in way over your head. You clearly don't know what you're talking about and you're letting your dislike for Haye/Harrison cloud your judgement on what actually happened.

I was working on that fight, and I can tell you first hand how many people wanted to see it. Many hardcore fans, like myself, was against the fight. But that doesn't change the fact that the general public was excited to see a fight happening between two household names. You can say otherwise, but then again, you don't know what the fuc you're talking about - and trying to put my boxing knowledge down is laughable.

Especially because I've seen some of the garbage you post on a regular basis.

Haye says the fight is nothing more than a warm up.

Haye v Harrison: TV fans set up Britain's first £10m battle

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-1328536/Haye-v-Harrison-TV-fans-set-Britains-10m-battle.html

Do you need more to show that you are talking crap?

Thanks for owning this clown for me.

[LacedUp]

The Haye-Harisson fight is one of the biggest hoax's in boxing history. Only davey nuthuggers like andy lacedup buys this shit.

Yes it comes right after Wlad-Mormeck, Wlad-Wach and soon to be Wlad-Pianeta. So fourth biggest hoax.

Suck it you nuthugger.

Those links show that both are a load of bollocks and you you don't no what you're talking about. Show me some articles with Haye trying to make the fight seem credible.

Harrison was losing to Michael Sprott in his fight prior to Haye before pulling out a very lucky left hand which knocked Sprott out. When the Haye-Harrison fight was announced, I and nearly every other British poster I know was embarrassed about it.

But true boxing fans don't make up much percentage of revenue for Sky, so the good ol' British hype machine when into overload. Haye was the saviour of the heavyweight division and Harrison was an Olympic gold medallist.

If you're the sort of person who just listens to what Sky Sports says regarding boxing, then you probably didn't see much wrong with the fight. You are the sort of person to source media outlets, which says a lot.

Here's a line;

In reality, they all have an agenda. Sky Sports commentators aren't allowed to be honest, otherwise they'd have no job, they just flip-flop. I'm embarrassed and outraged that Harrison-Haye was the first 10m fight over here, shows just how blinded the public were. Media outlets that aren't boxing focused are about as useful as getting Stevie Wonder to commentate on a fight.

Oh look your stories changed........... and you go into a rant about the hype and public demand you said didn't exist.

He's contradicting himself all over the place. Typical for his standards.

I didn't realise you displayed any knowledge to be put down?

Sky could air dog turd vs David Haye and still convince the public it's a battle of attrition. I do not care for public opinion after the fight was announced.

You're going back on your word. Your perception of the fight doesn't not reflect the opinion of the general public. First because of the numbers the fight did, but Haye also said at the announcement that more people asked him to fight Audley than any other person.

Other than that, being so knowledgable, please find me a clip, an article, radiopiece or anything where Haye said it would be a competitive fight. He said at one stage he could knock him out in the first round.

What you are doing is just hating, you aren't presenting any facts, but probably still hold a grudge for bying the PPV, because deep down - you were equally excited as everyone else.

Pedantic ****.

How has my story changed?

Do I have to spoon feed you lot everything I say?

Public demand for a fight would be valid before the fight is announced. As soon as a fight is announced and the broadcasters begin the hype, then people can become interested in what they see or hear.

But there was no demand after Haye had beaten Ruiz. There was talk of him fighting Harrison and cringing ensued but never a 'demand'. I think there was various verbal jabs in the media at each other and as soon as the fight was announced, the hype went into overdrive.

The real interest in this fight came after it was made. Yes, there was a lot of public interest because of how it was being marketed. I remember vividly seeing someone on my FB talking about the fight and how surprised I was that even they were interested in it but at the same time disheartened that it happened to be said fight. After the fight was announced.
