Comments Thread For: David Haye Generates Huge Ratings Figure For Channel Dave

[AddiX]

It ain't knew! boxing has always done well there.

They've never had this many fighters who were draws though, and could bring in big crowds, big money, and big ratings.

It seems like anyone who is even decent over there can draw big crowds and ratings.

I agree they have 3 star HWs with a couple decent B level guys too. Haye, Fury, Joshua to go along with fringe guys like Price, Whyte, Chisora & Hughie Fury. In the past you didn't have this many HWs at a world level in one era of british boxing. Joshua is a draw but I shouldn't call him a star yet. He looks the part though...

Yeah, heavyweights are definitely a big part of it.

A guy like Chisora couldn't sell out a local fight in a garage in the U.S. He's not even a good boxer, quite horrible tbh.

But in U.K., he's kind of a star.

Look at Joshua, he's already a star. Wilder on the other hand has been a pro for what 7 years? He's a nobody here.

Just goes to show the excitement for boxing in The U.K. Right now.

Boxing dead yo!

In my observation the only people that say that are those who do NOT and I mean do NOT watch boxing at all.

I think Chisora gets a bit of a bad rap & he doesn't deserve it. He has a marginal skillset but does pretty good for himself. This guy was willing to fight Wlad in his 15th fight & it was wlad who cancelled twice. How many HWs in recent memory had fought opposition like he did before his 20th fight? Fury, Vitali Klitschko, helenius & Haye. 3 world champions. The guy was matched pretty hard in his career. He is a solid gatekeeper B level fringe guy like Frans Botha use to be. Beats all the C & most fringe guys but can't beat the elite. A tough guy with a marginal skillset. I think he is very underrated in my opinion. This guy has 30 fights. 2 with Fury, Klitschko, Haye, Helenius, Gerber, Scott, Kevin Johnson... Not a bad resume if you ask me. His level of opposition hasn't been easy. Lately he got a new team behind him & has had 5 tuneups but he's ready for another run.

He's not scared, I'll give him that.

But I think he's a god awful boxer.

He gets by on heart, guts & toughness. When he was at his best he weighed 250-255 as he absorbed shots much better & he was a bully. He doesn't have great power & he is slow but he never got pushed around. You can say he goes to a gun fight with a knife but he wears a bulletproof vest for protection. He gave Helenius & Klitschko all sorts of problems. His lack of speed hurts him vs quicker opponents. When he dropped those 20lbs I think it took away from his ability to take a shot. The weight loss didn't make him any quicker & he had no problems going 12 rounds prior to the weight loss. Sometimes dropping weight doesn't always help a fighter & Arreola is another example of this. It didn't make either guy any quicker but it seemed to take away some of their punch resistance. I like Chisora & he is a solid name on anyone's resume..

The champ is back!!!

Everyone who watched that thought it was a farce. Well done Haye.
