Would YOU take the money for an easy nights work with a week or so of talking bollocks on the telly before? At least its still boxing, not bloody UFC!
No, there's no problem with it. I mean if David Haye JUST wants to make money that's fine...I was under the assumption that he actually wanted to achieve something in professional boxing, but apparently not and if you're ok with that then fine.

But I, as a boxing fan see that kind of fight as a waste of time.

The cruiserweight division is a NOTHING division....who are the 10 greatest cruiserweights of all-time? Can you name 5 of them? I mean fucking hell it's no different than any division lower than anything under flyweight. The division itself has little to no history at all, it's been around since what 1980 or so? Maybe YOU admire the cruiserweight division, but most people look at 175 and heavyweight as exciting divisions that actually mean something to the sport.


Show of hands, who is a fan of the cruiserweight division? Anyone I'm not saying there can't be great fights which happen there, I'm just saying nobody follows the division and the division doesn't mean anything....unless you're David Haye or one of his fans.
