    Article I did on the farce that is Haye V Bellew

    You cant blame people for taking the money. For whatever reason, people need it, want it. If you're a brickie and one job building a 20ft wall pays the same as one building a 10ft wall, whatcha gonna do?
    The pretending it's a meaningful contest is the joke part.

    One mans muck and all that. I think Haye or Bellew getting horribly knocked out is entertaining.

    I do find it sad when guys are only in it for a payday, although obviously getting paid accordingly should be huge for any fighter.

    But hell, if David Haye can convince people to put their money down to watch him fight, good for him.

    Haye is in it for the money, celebrity status and then boxing legacy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Bloody great article mate.

    "For all his faults, you can’t knock Haye and his ability to put bums on seats and pound notes through the turnstiles. The man could sell snow to the Eskimos and they’d thank him for the privilege. Bellew by comparison couldn’t sell a lifeboat to the passengers of a sinking ship."
