Thread: Primetime To Show Holyfield V Botha

Just watched Dirrel v Abraham and noticed that before the fight they were advertising Holyfield v Botha on April 10th for £5.95 for the WBF Heavyweight title . Therefore i don't understand why they would want to show this fight ahead of the Hopkins v Jones Jr fight on April 3rd at least that has a bit more appeal than this fight they have chosen to show!

Who ever pays for this is a moron and should be shot on site


Job Biscuit (im tellin yer)!!!!


eh eh!!!

I am sure someone will. I read on some other forums that when they rang up for dirrel fight they were offered Dirrel v Abraham, Holyfield v Botha and Froch v Kessler for £25 and some of them accepted it as a good deal!!!!

No matter how good the bread is, that's still a dookey sammich.

Its a cheap fight to watch a couple of hasbeens try to go through the motions. Actually might prove interesting for that rate.

Interesting fight you think i am expecting it to be a cuddle fest for 12 rounds!!!!

I would not pay to watch it no matter what (or almost). Holyfield is now a pale copy of the pale copy he was 3 years ago, we should not support him getting injured just because he doesn't know how to manage his finances.

That's a saving of £2, or to look at it a different way £4 for the Holyfield fight. (I wouldn't pay 50p)

I bought Abrahams, and I'll buy Froch for a combined, seperate, cost of £21.

I'm afraid to say I am going to buy this. I know I shouldn't and I think Evander should have retired as the 3rd greatest HW of all time after the Lennox fights but he is my favourite all time HW and I can't help but still have interest.

Weve known Holyfields been in decline for over a decade infact they were saying he was past it almost 20 years ago after the 1st Bowe fight but he is one of the most well known names in the sport. Botha isnt a runner so he will come to give an honest performance. He's been in with the other big 3 Bowe, Tyson and Lewis just like Holyfield has except Botha got stopped by all them. Evander won and lost to them.

Its his first PPV in this country since 1999. Berto is fighting Quintana the same night so its worth a fiver to keep switching channels. It'll be good to see Evander beat someone up. Looking forward to it.

Has anyone looked at the undercard? It has the be the worst looking set of fights I've seen. No way I watch this.

I'll be getting this fight if I don't have plans on Saturday.

Anyone ever see Botha in K-1 kickboxing ?

Jesus Christ he got his ass knocked out by Mighty Mo in 1 round...


Evander is gonna have another field day just like with Lou Savarese.

Tho Savarese has more heart than Botha.

I enjoyed the Holyfield Saverese fight. The smaller man was able to get inside and the right to the body left hook to the head KD was one of the best Ive seen. I much prefer that kind of fight than watching a Klitschko jab someone with no ambition for 10 rounds. It was also better than Haye running from Valuev for 12 rounds. Holyfield guarantees to put it on the line and show what he is made of. Botha might be there to be hit so if Evander backs him up, I'll be looking for him to let both hands go like he did against Bates. Botha will try to keep it long and tie Evander up on the inside. Evander by late stoppage.

Hey I enjoyed watchin the Savarese fight myself.

Its good to see Holyfield beating up on someone around his own age and from his own era.

And I cannot stand the Klitschkos.

But just don't put Holyfield in with one.

That would be terrible.

And keep him away from David Haye as well.
