Just because it doesn't interest you it doesn't make fans that will watch it mugs. Whatever happens many fans will have an entertaining night - hardcore and casual.
You might as well say - anyone that doesn't share your interests are mugs.
No proper boxing fan is genuinely going to enjoy this charade. It's a farcical matchup. World boxing champ against ancient domestic opponent who hasn't beaten anybody. Pointless.
I think the people who want to see decent title fights are well within their rights to expect such a thing. A title shot should be earned and not handed out to anybody.
We all know that if there is money to be thrown at nothing then it can happen, but only mugs are paying to watch Audley Harrison at this stage.

Wlad is fighting Sam Peter a world rated fighter not the best but a fighter that has names on his record and is a world level fighter who is currently ranked in the top ten of 3 of the 4 organisations he has beaton not the best fighters in the world but solid top 10/20 fighters and had Wlad in trouble last time they met, now I am not saying this is a great match up it is shite Peter is average but that just shows how bad Haye's match up with Audley is.
Audley is a bum who is not even in my top 5 in this country, please tell me when did Peter and Briggs get beat off the likes of 8 fight part time cab drivers? ;)
My bad.Quote:

We all know that if there is money to be thrown at nothing then it can happen, but only mugs are paying to watch Audley Harrison at this stage.
From what I just read Haye is getting 10 million British pounds for this, convert that into the United States Dollar and that would be approximately 15.3 million.
Just think Haye is getting that much for fighting a bum compared to both Klit Brothers fighting top 10 HWs and getting about half that.
So in other words, it's just business. Hell, if I was Haye I would fight a bunch of Audley Harrisons and avoid the Klits for the next 4-5 years and make money in safe fights and then fight them when they're old and possibly shot and then calling it a career after 1 big payday.
That is all very well but, if that's the case, you shouldn't have spent the past two years calling them out and then pull out of two fights. You will be liable to looking rather silly.Quote:

I hope you are not going to lead onto the "you don't pay for it therefore you shouldn't have an opinion" type of argument. I'm a boxing fan and like to see good fights. The fact that I live in Asia shouldn't really exclude me from boxing and having opinions entirely.
So you tell me how audley winning this fight and then defending against the likes of tyson fury and derek chisora is going to be good for the sport? No Audley doesn't deserve a shot and I hate the fact that he's getting one in a bid to try and steal the title, but it's going to get much much worse if he was to actually win this.Quote:

And I stand by my previous comment. It don't matter how much I or anyone else dislike harrison he'll still come into the ring in better shape than the vast majority of the so called top ten world rated heavys.
