Audley Harrison Retains Purse After David Haye Disgrace - Boxing News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/9358476.stm
BBBofC has rightfully decided not to withhold his purse following that pretty entertaining jab he threw at Haye in November.
good news he deserves his money, haye deserves his taken away for defending his title against him in the first place.
Harrison should get his paycheck and maybe even a bonus for suckering so many people into watching or buying that garbage and convincing people he's a decent fighter.
Yes well......I feel so ashamed for having faith in Harrison:pQuote:

I would accept a Ruslan Chagaev fight whilst waiting to make a wlad Klit fight. But i want to see a Chris Arreloa fight, now that would make me happy whilst I wait for the Wlad Klit fight.
Sanity prevailed!
Im glad he got paid. Let the poor sod keep the cash. He has suffered enough already and will continue to suffer. No need to kick a man when he is down.
H e should have been fined for non trying ,what a joke heavyweight boxing has become over the yearsQuote:

He deserved his pay. He did what was expected of him. If mugs will pay to watch a spectacle like that and encourage Haye to do it more, then screw them. Lesson learnt...until the next time...

I think the decision to not withold pay was down to fear of being taken to court. Besides if they did then Khans 53 second effort against Prescott would be brought into question.
yes but Khan blatently got tagged hard by Prescott that wasnt no dive, he just got plain KTFO. Audley didnt even try when he was in there Amir came straight on the offensive and got caught clean. Audley was just trying to survive without giving any effort and when he got caught he got out of there as quick as possible cos hes a faggot!Quote:

Haye was a world champ whereas Prescott was an unknown Columbian who has since proven he is no good. Of the two I think Amirs was more shameful.Quote:

So you'd rather get blown away in 53 seconds by a bum than go 3 with the heavyweight champ? Confirms what I always thought about you Amat . . . .complete spaz!Quote:

Prescott is a dangerous puncher weather he be a good fighter or not. If Prescott caught any fighter at 135 flush they would go down. Khan didnt know his power and at the time he thought he was unbeatable, he went out in the middle of the ring to try and knock him out due to his arrogance. His arrogance cost him the fight and he got KTFO, there wasnt any shame in getting caught by a power puncher. If Khan was to rematch Prescott now he would change the game plan to win I have no doubt. Harrison however if he fought Haye again would have no different game plan because he cant produce a different game plan because he is shit ! this is why he got KTFO and didnt deserve the fight in the first place. Even though he got the shot he should have at least thrown more than one punch! this is why I believe he doesnt deserve his purse cos he didnt even try. Where was his boxing killer instinct which fighters have? He had a shot at the world heavyweight title and not everybody gets that and he didnt even have the effort to try and take the title from Haye. I spent 15 pounds of watching that shit and if you ask anybody who paid for the fight did Harrison deserve to get paid 1.5m i know 99% of them would say no !!!Quote:

Talk about locking the stable door after the horse had bolted. . . . .
The public humiliation Audley continues to face should suffice. Cant withold pay though because then every fight would have to be reviewed to see if a fighter gave 100% in order to be consistent and so that adds to the farce boxing is rapidly becoming. You say Khan got beat by a puncher but is Haye not a puncher? Audley is awful always has been and always will be but he turned up for his job. His pay cheque wasnt performance related and he wasnt working on commission. The BBBC knew this and didnt wana risk getting taken to court knowing they didnt have a leg to stand on.
Dont want to defend Audley because it was a terrible effort but this wise after the event stance people have taken having bought into the hype is a joke. The people that made the fight are responsible. Audley was out of his depth and a lamb to the slaughter. He never stood any chance.
But did everybody know what was going to happen? This was the reason for the fight happening in the first place? Audley always did have that punchers chance in there but the only way he was going to have that chance is if he threw a fucking punch. You would have thought with him only having a punchers chance he would try and throw a punch surely? No he couldnt even do that ? He claimed he was trying to make Haye tired and try and stop him late. But the first opportunity Haye got to land Harrison was pathetic and looked like he had no interest of trying to survive till the end. As soon as Haye landed Harrison thought no fuck this im out of here and thats why he got stopped. He has no heart and he knew as soon as he tasted leather there was no way he would win the fight. As a boxing fan we were robbed and this is why Harrison should be robbed of his purse. As for the humiliation he deserves it! Why did he get in the ring if he knew he was going to get slapped? So we can waste 15 pounds to pay this muppit for one last chance at a title he knew he wasnt going to win? This is why he should not have his purse! Well the BBBC should hold a full apoligy and as for David Hayes next fight as an apoligy we should be able to watch it free on sky sports 1. This is plain bullshit on the boxing fans perspective who have paid to watch this fight. I dont hear any form of apoligy for such a bad fight and there should be answers!Quote:
