'Is liyf is in tearrr-moyl!
Seriously, Haye is fighting a blown-up light heavy weight here. He needs to calm himself down a bit, as he's been getting rattled, but Bellew doesn't stand much of a chance.
Only thing I would say, is if the British public shell out for PPV on this and get another Haye-Harrison they won't be too happy. If it's £20 and ends up the mismatch it looks, KO1 for instance, that could do the sport damage over here. Hearn needs to think about that before trying to milk it for all it's worth.
Haye has made some really poor opponent choices throughout his career and this is no exception. He's doing nothing to further his ranking or press for a title shot. He could fight someone relevant here and throw himself back in the heavyweight mix. He could have done that 2 fights ago. Several times throughout his career he could have fought a real live HW contender, instead he chooses these exhibition-type matches. I don't know why he's managing his career this way- maybe he doesn't care about actually achieving anything in boxing anymore?
