Haye v Bellew - 4/3/17 rd-by-rd

[erics44]

As much of a mismatch I think this is I have a feeling I'm going to be a mug and pay for this.

Am hoping for a double knockout or it to end after a few seconds and be the farce a lot of us think it is.

They've sold it well - let's be fair to them

why would you be a mug to pay for it

youd be a mug not to pay for it wouldn't you? why would a boxing fan want to miss it? or watch a shit stream?

Because it is a gross mis match and paying for it means you are supporting Eddie Hearn producing more of these types of contests. Mug.

im not sure the two of you taking a stand on principle is gonna make that much of a difference

are you not cutting off your nose to spite your face?

[Mark TKO]

Miserable so-called boxing fans have been boycotting PPV since as long as I've been on this internet thingy. Their little protest has done a great job over the years as there's now more PPVs than ever.

Arrogant cunts telling people what they should spend their money on.

I despise the PPV model that we have to put up with these days, I have also resigned myself to the fact that I will be paying for this fight, I always do.
Not because I particularly want to watch it but because there is fuck all else on telly and fuck all else to do.

I doubt if Eddie is gunna cancel all these PPV's purely because little old Batman is sitting in his Batcave having a little one man protest against the price of it.

As long as every one else pays for it I don't have much choice but to go along with it...Plus I don't wanna miss Teddy Cheeseman

If he doesn't look anything like this I will be extremely disapoint

This fight is a huge con, and it most certainly doesn't deserve to be on PPV because it simply isn't worth it.

We have a guy who hasn't fought properly in three years, who has a history of grotesque and tasteless stunts as well as a reputation of consistently pulling out of big fights. A guy who tried to tell us the reason he bottled his biggest fight was because he hurt his toe (before the fight, so he cheated the ouster s by even turning up). A guy who utterly disrespects the sport that has given him a great living.

On the other hand we have a domestic level light heavyweight, who has risen through the ranks of the weakest cruiserweight division I can ever remember. Bellew has always talked a great fight but has never really delivered in the ring. He is not particularly talented, isntbthe huge puncher he makes out he is and is quite easy to hit.

Two flawed fighters in what should really be an undercard bout, and it's on PPV for fucks sake.

Con job.

Its that or The Voice...

I know what your saying and agree with what you've said but i haven't had to pay for a PPV in years so makes no difference to me.
The attraction for me is that they absolutely fucking hate each other and i wanna see which man wins and shuts the other up plus the build up and pressers have been hillarious, also we know this will end in a KO so it's definitely gonna be entertaining and we also know it's surely the end of the road for Haye if he loses.
This will smash it for PPV numbers...... it's made front and back page news all week mainly because of Hayes outbursts and the knock on effect of that is the man on the street buys into it.

Love him or Hate him he's done it again and has been doing it all year - Haye is THE most talked about boxer not just on boxing forums but in general currently in the UK.

If he wins and wins this well he's in pole position to go straight on to a World Title fight later in the year £££££££$$$$$$$

The man could sell sand to Arabs

Who is being conned? How do you determine what "deserves" to be PPV?

The vast majority of PPV buyers are not nerdy boxing fans that religiously follow the sport from top to bottom. As this thread proves, fights like this get shitloads more attention, from "proper" boxing fans, than most of the best fighters in the world. Why? Because people are buying entertainment, they buy into the characters (love or hate), the story, they expect a violent conclusion.

Anyone that doesn't understand what they're buying isn't a boxing fan. The vast majority of buyers will get what they expect - an enjoyable night of boxing.
