Is it really 15 million? That's pretty impressive.

Apparently so. Sky know they can hype this beyond belief.
Both Audley and Haye will be willing participants in the pre fight circus.
The build up should make great viewing.
Interesting so the public knows Audley, did they just miss out on the fact he's been utter shit for the past 5 or 6 years? Crazy. So Haye went to Audley for his career payday then. Hilarious.
Well I didn't want to see this fight but at 12 o clock i'm going on Ticketmaster to get my tickets.
To me Haye looked ashamed to be taking on the Fraud and rightly so, but I think the beating Audley is going to get will be worth a couple of hundred quid.
That's why he is so well known - even to non boxing fans.Quote:

For me the Audley memory that will forever stick in my mind is when he came to America to fight one of those fat American heavyweights everyone likes to go on about, Dominick Guinn. This was after looking terrible against Williams, and as awful as he looked against Williams, he was 10 times worse against Guinn. That was the fight that he literally just didn't try, he played Joshua Clottey to Dominick Guinn's Manny Pacquiao. I don't expect anyone to ever watch that fight (one of the most frustrating fights ever) but that analogy was no dramatization. Just focus in on that last part, Dominick Guinn's Manny Pacquiao. It's really not that far from the truth. It was absolutely nuts. The guy just didn't try and it's like it cost him more because he was battered, he didn't have to be though. It was crazy.
There is no way that Audley Harrison will ever do anything to even remotely trouble David Haye. I'm quite possibly a hater of both, but Haye has tenacity and that alone will shy Audley away from doing anything. I hate those nicknames people give fighters thinking they are being cute, but FRAUDLEY is the one that is great. It's true. Hornfinger may insist this fight is no worse then any Klitschko fight, but Wlad has never fought a guy who got beat the crap out of by Dominick Guinn.
Vitali fought a guy who was outclassed by Zuri Lawrence though, he should have got JUST as much flack for that but Sosnowski didn't have the high profile of Audley. Oh well, Timor Ibragimov would have been a better opponent. Gar-bage.
His Gold medal made him really famous over here and quite a few thought he was the natural successor to Lennox. That obviously never happened but his constant bullshit about one day being the HW champ has kept him on the fringes and in the papers so people haven't forgotten him, that and being beat up off Belfast cabbies lol.Quote:

can't wait
....I thought this fight was to build up his fan base?Quote:

It's a lose-lose fight for Chicken Little....if it's a 1st round KO win for him what does it prove? If he wins a UD it shows he doesn't have the power to bother the Klitschko's and everything else basically ends his career.Quote:
