I like and enjoy the technical fighters as much as the brawlers but this fight got everyone talking and wanting to see who came out on top.
Yes there was insane hype, trash talking etc but thats what draws new fans to the sport.
I had me, my gf, her girl mate and two 11 year old boys glued to the tv on the edge of our seats and loving it, all of us shouting at the screen and it was a great night.
If that was the elite "Sport" genuine ppv fight your on about I.E. Garcia v Thurman and hypothetically it was on at 10pm uk time there would have been me watching on my own as they wouldn't have wanted to watch it/zero interest and if they did they'd have been bored shitless in a muted room due to the fact that it was a shit and very boring fight.
So thats me and 4 non boxing fans (2 kids, 2 women) all of which wanted to watch Haye v Bellew because we knew we'd be entertained and entertained we were.
Boxing isn't just for the purist/anorak brigade and never has been.
Never underestimate the pulling power of a genuine domestic uk grudge match.
We love it
